This document describes the governance model for the OpenData project.
OpenData is in its early stages. The governance structure described here is temporary and will be formalized as the project and community mature.
Committers have write access to the repository and are responsible for reviewing and merging contributions.
While bootstrapping the project, the following individuals have been granted commit access. If you are interested in becoming a founding commiter, please open a GitHub issue and one of us will schedule some time to review your background and evaluate your fit for the project.
- Day-to-day decisions (code review, minor features, bug fixes) are made by individual committers
- Significant changes require an approved RFC with sign-off from two committers
- Governance changes require supermajority approval among all committers
Contributors who demonstrate sustained, high-quality contributions may be nominated for committer status. Factors considered include:
- Quality and impact of contributions
- Understanding of the project architecture and goals
- Constructive participation in code reviews and discussions
- Commitment to the project's long-term success
Committer nominations are adopted by three +1 votes from existing committers and no -1 votes.
