The configuration of an open project enables frictionless contributing. Projects should be discoverable and well-documented. Anyone within our Intersect MBO should be able to find a desired project and ramp up without direct guidance from host team members.
The Code of Conduct governs this project and everyone participating. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to oso@intersectmbo.org.
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior or have any other concerns, please notify a community organizer as soon as possible.
Add information on how to submit feature requests here. Also, include information on what contributors can expect regarding time first to respond and process after that.
Include information on any documentation best practices your project follows, how to build documentation, checks to run, and how to submit the changes made back to the project.
For guest teams to be able to contribute meaningfully to a project, the host team must be transparent. This means that guest teams should be able to have an understanding of:
- The project/repo and its direction
- Outstanding feature requirements
- Progress on feature requirements
- Decision-making of the host team
Mentorship from the host team to the guest team via maintainers is crucial to Intersect MBO. Contributors on guest teams are up-leveled so that they understand enough about the host team’s project/repo to change it successfully.
When contributing to this project, you must agree that you have authored 100% of the content, have the necessary rights to the content, and that the content you contribute may be provided under the project license.
