The assembly of Polaris District Representatives (PDRs) is the entity receiving all
information from the Polaris team and participating in the definition
of the product future plans. The purpose of this Assembly is to
seek the votes of the districts on certain important issues for future developments.
The topics for the future assembly are recorded as ideas in the RedMine
projects.
The PDRs represents both their district and all clubs in that district. They are responsible to collect the feedback and requests from the districts and clubs and make the first triage on them.
The Polaris Team collects information from the PDRs and
consolidates the ideas into topics to be presented in the assembly meetings. It organizes the assembly meeting and creates the agenda containing all the topics to be discussed there.
Only "high level" topics are discussed. Request for features are handled by the regular change request process (RedMine).
After the assembly, the Polaris Team organizes the electronic voting about the discussed topics and informs about the voting results and the final
implementation plan.
The PDRs are responsible for information to the clubs and to the districts they are representing.
Depending on the organization of the country, the DICOs, their deputies and other
people from the district meet annually - or more often - with the representatives of
the Polaris team. These meetings are very important and strengthen the community of Polaris users. Whenever
possible, they are held face-to-face.
