Falco Community is a repository that serves as the central hub for organizing and coordinating the Falco Project, a cloud native runtime security initiative.
The repository addresses the need for structured community governance and collaboration around the Falco Project. It provides the organizational framework through which the community owns and maintains all aspects of the project across multiple repositories in the falcosecurity GitHub organization. The approach centers on regular synchronous engagement through biweekly community calls, asynchronous communication via mailing lists and Slack channels, and documented governance structures that define how decisions are made and contributions are managed.
This repository is essential for anyone involved with Falco, whether as a contributor, maintainer, or adopter seeking to understand project direction and participate in development. It suits organizations evaluating Falco for runtime security use cases who want to understand the project's governance model and community health. The repository consolidates links to governance documentation, maintainers guidelines, code of conduct, and contribution standards, making it the entry point for understanding how the project operates rather than a tool to be adopted directly.
The project maintains regular synchronous engagement through scheduled biweekly community calls that follow a structured format including project updates, lightning talks from community members, and open discussion time. Meeting minutes are published after each Falco release, creating a documented record of community discussions and decisions. The community operates with a documented governance model that specifies maintainer responsibilities, repository standards, and contribution processes, indicating a mature approach to managing a multi-repository project.
