Suggested

  • Governance has continuously been iterated upon by the project as a result of their experience applying it, with the governance history demonstrating evolution of maturity alongside the project's maturity evolution.

  • Clear and discoverable project governance documentation.

  • Governance is up to date with actual project activities, including any meetings, elections, leadership, or approval processes.

    • ORAS project governance has iterated organically as it has gained experienced over the years. The Project has currently 15 active maintainers and it has received contributions from 267 contributors who come from different companies. The ORAS project holds bi-weekly community meetings (notes) where many topics, including those that are goverance related, are discussed.
  • Governance clearly documents vendor-neutrality of project direction.

    • ORAS is utilizing vendor neutral resources for communication, testing , hosting and governance
  • Document how the project makes decisions on leadership, contribution acceptance, requests to the CNCF, and changes to governance or project goals.

  • Document how role, function-based members, or sub-teams are assigned, onboarded, and removed for specific teams (example: Security Response Committee).

  • Document a complete maintainer lifecycle process (including roles, onboarding, offboarding, and emeritus status).

    • ORAS includes a thorough document which describes the Contribtor Ladder that outlines the roles and responsibilities within the project.
  • Demonstrate usage of the maintainer lifecycle with outcomes, either through the addition or replacement of maintainers as project events have required.

    • ORAS demonstrates the lifecycle of maintainers by routinely promoting new maintainers and moving existing maintainers who no longer wish to retain their maintainer role of emeritus status. This can be seen in practice as described within this article.
    • OWNERS files are located in each project repository which illustrates the individuals who are currently repsonsible including those that have contributed in the past (Emeritus)
  • If the project has subprojects: subproject leadership, contribution, maturity status documented, including add/remove process.

    • ORAS project includes several subprojects. OWNERS files are located within each subproject (Example: OWNERS)
    • GitHub Issues are used for discussions related to subprojects within each subproject repository
    • Additional discussions are held during bi-weekly community meetings
