etcd Governance

Principles

The etcd community adheres to the following principles:

  • Open: etcd is open source.
  • Welcoming and respectful: See Code of Conduct.
  • Transparent and accessible: Changes to the etcd code repository and CNCF related activities (e.g. level, involvement, etc) are done in public.
  • Merit: Ideas and contributions are accepted according to their technical merit for the betterment of the project. For specific guidance on practical contribution steps please see contributor guide guide.

Roles and responsibilities

Etcd project roles along with their requirements and responsibilities are defined in community membership.

Decision making process

Decisions are built on consensus between maintainers publicly. Proposals and ideas can either be submitted for agreement via a GitHub issue or PR, or by sending an email to [email protected].

Conflict resolution

In general, we prefer that technical issues and maintainer membership are amicably worked out between the persons involved. However, any technical dispute that has reached an impasse with a subset of the community, any contributor may open a GitHub issue or PR or send an email to [email protected]. If the maintainers themselves cannot decide an issue, the issue will be resolved by a supermajority of the maintainers with a fallback on lazy consensus after three business weeks inactive voting period and as long as two maintainers are on board.

Changes in Governance

Changes in project governance could be initiated by opening a GitHub PR.
