Overview and Guidelines

•  Code: open, discoverable, fully public history, documented provenance

• Quality: security, backwards compatibility, etc

• Contributions: welcome from anyone based on technical quality

• License: Apache License, dependencies must not put additional restrictions

• Community: inclusive, meritocratic, no dictators, clear documented path to entry

• Discussions and decisions: asynchronous, in a single central place, archived

• Decision making: consensus, votes if needed, technical vetoes in the worst case

• Independence: from any corporate or organizational influence

• Releases: source code only, notices, long-lived release format
