Community processes

Community

The community around CCN-lites gathers developers and users from around the world, from the industry, from academia, and hobbyists. The CCN-lite community is open to everyone. To join and interact, you are invited to:

• join and post to the ccn-lite mailing list,
• post on GitHub

Processes

The community self-organizes using the open processes described below.

Contributors

Code contributions are very welcome. In order to streamline and harmonize code quality, contributors must follow the dedicated development process. Aside of code contributions, you can also contribute to CCN-lite on other aspects, e.g. by actively participating in technical and non-technical discussions within the community.

Maintainers

Among contributors, some have maintainer status, which consists in rights (merge rights) and duties (code review duties).

Maintainers can propose to give maintainer status to contributors that have been noticed as particularly active in some domain of CCN-lite. The decision to grant this status is then taken via consensus among maintainers. If there is consensus on granting the status to a particular contributor, a maintainer will contact personally this contributor to propose the status, which the contributor can the accept (or turn down).

We are constantly looking for more maintainers. So if you are up for that, please start (or continue) contributing code and reviews!

To contact maintainers, the best is to interact over actual CCN-lite code on GitHub.
