Strimzi Governance is a repository containing the formal governance policies and structures for the Strimzi project.
The repository serves to establish clear guidelines for how the Strimzi project operates, who holds decision-making authority, and what standards contributors and maintainers must follow. It centralizes the governance framework in a single location, making expectations transparent to anyone engaging with the project. The approach is to document policies explicitly rather than rely on informal practices, ensuring consistency and clarity as the project scales.
This repository is essential for contributors and users who need to understand the project's decision-making processes, escalation paths, and community standards. It is particularly relevant for organizations considering adopting Strimzi or contributing significantly to it, as the governance documents clarify how the project is managed and what voice contributors have in its direction. The repository's existence as a separate, dedicated space signals that governance is treated as a first-class concern rather than an afterthought.
The project maintains active governance documentation that reflects its status as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project, indicating alignment with broader cloud-native community standards and practices.
