(communications that are not specific to the code should be on lists or in the Community site)
• Some Git environments are CLOSED (ONF members only), others are OPEN (anyone with a Git
account can join)

Project-Level Roles & Responsibilities
19
• Users
– Users are community members who have a need for the project. Anyone can be a User; there are no
special requirements. Common User contributions include evangelizing the project (e.g., display a link on a
website and raise awareness through word-of-mouth), informing developers of strengths and weaknesses
from a new user perspective, or providing moral support (a “thank you” goes a long way).
• Contributors
– Contributors are community members who contribute in concrete ways to the project, most often in the form
of code and/or documentation. Anyone can become a Contributor, and contributions can take many forms.
There is no expectation of commitment to the project, no specific skill requirements, and no selection
process.
• Committers
– Committers are community members who have shown that they are committed to the continued
development of the project through ongoing engagement with the community. Committers are given push
access to the project’s GitHub repo and must abide by the project’s Contribution Standards, including
milestones such as feature complete and code freeze.
• Reviewers
– Reviewers are individuals identified as “project admins” for the project on GitHub. Reviewers have additional
responsibilities over and above those of a Committer. These responsibilities ensure the smooth running of
the project. Reviewers are expected to review code contributions, approve changes to this document, and
manage the copyrights within the project outputs.

Decision Making Process within a Project
20
• Technical discussions are conducted on GitHub, the bug tracker,
and the Contributor Mailing List, or within the Community. The
Forum should mainly be used for technical support. Occasionally,
sensitive discussions may occur on the private Reviewers’ Mailing
List.
• In order to ensure that the project is not bogged down by endless
discussion and continual voting, the project operates a policy of lazy
consensus. This allows the majority of decisions to be made without
resorting to a formal vote.

How to Get Started
21
• Talk to me (meet with your group)
• We need committers, code-writers! (not, “ONF ought to write this
code”)
• Let us support your activities
