buildpacks/community

Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) community is a governance and coordination hub for an open-source project that transforms application source code into container images.

The repository serves as the central entry point for understanding how the CNB project operates as a collective effort. It documents the project's decision-making processes, current priorities, team structure, and contribution pathways. Rather than containing implementation code, this repository hosts governance documentation, roadmaps, team rosters, and meeting records that guide how the broader CNB ecosystem evolves.

Developers considering involvement with CNB should use this repository to understand the project's structure and how to participate. The repository makes clear that CNB operates through public forums and documented governance practices, with working group meetings as the primary venue for community discussion. Those interested in contributing will find a dedicated contributor's guide explaining how to join the team. The project maintains versioning documentation for its various components, indicating a structured approach to releases across multiple parts of the system.

The project maintains active governance documentation and regularly updates its roadmap to reflect current themes and priorities. Working group meetings occur on a documented schedule with details available on the main buildpacks.io website. The repository preserves records of both recurring working group discussions and non-recurring deep-dive sessions on specific topics, with meeting minutes accessible through linked documents. Team membership is tracked in a current roster, and the project enforces a code of conduct to establish community standards.
