Project: Volcano (Orchestration & Management / Scheduling & Orchestration)
File: GOVERNANCE.md

The Volcano community adheres to the following principles: Open: Volcano is an open source community. Welcoming and respectful: See . Transparent and accessible: Changes to the Volcano organization, Volcano code repositories, and CNCF related activities (e.g. level, involvement, etc) are done in public. Merit: Ideas and contributions are accepted according to their technical merit and alignment with project objectives, scope, and design principles. Every one carries water... Making a community work requires input/effort from everyone. Maintainers should actively participate in Pull Request reviews. Maintainers are expected to respond to assigned Pull Requests in a reasonable time frame, either providing insights, or assign the Pull Requests to other maintainers. Every Maintainer is listed in the file, with their Github handle. Please see the requirement If a Maintainer feels she/he can not fulfill the "Expectations from Maintainers", they are free to step down. The Volcano organization will never forcefully remove a current Maintainer, unless a maintainer fails to meet the principles of Volcano community, or adhere to the . Decisions are built on consensus between maintainers. Proposals and ideas can either be submitted for agreement via a github issue or PR. 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. If a dispute still cannot be decided, the project lead has the final say to decide an issue. Decision making process should be transparent to adhere to the principles of Volcano project. All proposals, ideas, and decisions by maintainers or the project lead should either be part of a github issue or PR. The volcano GitHub project maintainers team reflects the list of Maintainers. The Volcano organization is open to receive new sub-projects under its umbrella. To accept a project into the Volcano organization, it has to meet the following criteria: Must be licensed under the terms of the Apache License v2.0 Must be related to one or more scopes of the Volcano ecosystem: Volcano project artifacts (website, deployments, CI, etc) External plugins Other AI/BigData related processing Must be supported by a Maintainer not associated or affiliated with the author(s) of the sub-projects The submission process starts as a Pull Request or Issue on the repository with the required information mentioned above. Once a project is accepted, it's considered a CNCF sub-project under the umbrella of Volcano. Volcano is a CNCF project. As such, Volcano might be involved in CNCF (or other CNCF projects) related marketing, events, or activities. Any maintainer could help driving the Volcano involvement, as long as create a GitHub Pull Request to call for participation from other maintainers. The `Call for Participation` should be kept open for no less than a week if time permits, or a reasonable time frame to allow maintainers to have a chance to volunteer.
