The governance model adopted in Kubewharf is influenced by many CNCF projects.
- Open: Kubewharf is open source community. See (TODO: add Contributor License Agreement).
- Welcoming and respectful: See Code of Conduct.
- Transparent and accessible: Work and collaboration should be done in public.
- Merit: Ideas and contributions are accepted according to their technical merit and alignment with project objectives, scope and design principles.
The Kubewharf Code of Conduct is aligned with the CNCF Code of Conduct.
See community membership (TODO: add community membership).
Decisions are made based on consensus between maintainers. Proposals and ideas can either be submitted for agreement via a GitHub issue or PR, or by sending an email to (TODO: register an email for the org).
In general, we prefer that technical issues and maintainer membership are amicably worked out between the persons involved. If a dispute cannot be decided independently, get a third-party maintainer (e.g. a mutual contact with some background on the issue, but not involved in the conflict) to intercede and the final decision will be made. Decision-making process should be transparent to adhere to the principles of Kubewharf project.
