A P5EE Group starts with a single person who
1. chooses and/or writes some good modules
2. documents their integration into a software architecture
3. is willing to support users, coordinate other group members,
and evolve the architecture to being an increasingly rich
enterprise software architecture
Other people join that person in the group (i.e. members)
if they decide that the architecture is interesting enough to get
involved with, and they do the same three activities that are
currently performed by the other members of the group.
Membership should be formal only to the extent that you are willing
to add your name to a list of people who are in the group and you
remain active in the three activities of the group mentioned above.
Membership is not exclusive. You could be a member of several groups
if you wanted to be.
Membership may be closed for any reason. The current members of
the group may decide not to admit other members for whatever
reason including personal preference. Of course, a new group could
completely copy all of their code and documentation and make a
new group if they wanted. (basic open source rules)
Groups may find that they are similar enough to cross-pollinate
or merge. In fact, they would be encouraged to steal as much from
each other as possible in the best spirit of free software.
This might even lead to some convergence.
Groups may change names at will.
Of course, you don't have to be a Member of a group to be a User.
Membership implies at least a short-term commitment to the
above-mentioned three activities of Groups.
You get the idea.
