Governance & Licensing

Governance Model

We encourage participation by anyone who wants to collaborate on the direction of the OpenSCMS. Hoping for your active involvement, we introduce our community and processes.

Organization

OpenSCMS is an open community, which is governed by the Apache Software License v2.0. The open community is comprised of OpenSCMS team members and external contributors. Since the community structure is evolving, in this initial stage, all components will have oversight by the OpenSCMS dedicated development team. We hope that public contributors will also actively participate and expand their role as reviewer and maintainer.

Communication and Process

OpenSCMS uses well-known tools and processes to make contributing and communicating straightforward.

These resources include this website, GitHub, and forums. We host code on GitHub, and maintainers use the well-known GitHub pull request mechanism to review and accept contributions.

Everyone contributing to the OpenSCMS or participating in the forums or other resources provided by OpenSCMS must abide by the Community Guidelines. While creative ideas and respectful debates on topics are encouraged, OpenSCMS reserves the right to act as needed to protect the integrity of OpenSCMS, including the removal of any posts deemed inappropriate or offensive.

Please consider reading our Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Community members should note that the information submitted via the forums or any other communications resources of the OpenSCMS project will immediately become public information.
