Community roles

Besides being the users of Zadig, which is a great way of contributing to the community by itself (and thank you!), there are 3 active community roles:

  • Contributor
  • Maintainer
  • Council member

Note that the latter role is built on top of the former -- i.e. A council member is also a maintainer and a contributor, a maintainer is a contributor as well. Please see the following table for their primary responsibilities:

Role Primary responsibilities
Contributor No particular responsibilities, all healthy contributions are welcome.
Maintainer Technical: review PRs, participate and review designs, responding to issues. Recognized as a solid and respectful contributor.
Community: guide the community, role model a high standard of behavior.
Strategy: more seasoned maintainers might be consulted by the project council for roadmaps and strategies.
Council Member Technical:
Decision maker for key designs.
Help people succeed, guide technical directions.
Create and maintain effective development processes.
Community:
Recognize community contributions and promote excellent contributors to advance their roles (e.g. From contributor to maintainer, or from maintainer to be in the council).
Guide the value of the community -- set the tone. Ultimately responsible for a healthy community.
Strategy:
Set strategy, develop roadmap

How to become a contributor?

Anyone can be recognized as a Zadig contributor, as long as they manage to have one PR accepted, answered questions in the community forum, or simply reported an issue.

How to become a maintainer?

Must be a contributor first, and nominated by an existing maintainer or a council member. The council will make a decision for the nomination. Normally both the technical and community contribution will be taken into consideration. For example, these are strong signals if the candidate has been a productive contributor, played a key role in driving a few designs, demonstrated both technical skills and enthusiasm towards the project, and been a great citizen for the community.

How to become a council member?

The candidate has to be a maintainer first and be nominated by 2 council members. The council will make a decision for the nomination. The candidate has to have demonstrated strategic impact on the project over a relatively long horizon (or in a consistent way), for example,

  • Initiated a series of key designs and successfully drove them to be landed
  • Having a positive impact over the community such as constantly guiding new members, or consistently answering questions
  • Successfully driving the project to be much more impactful and modeling deep understanding in the product and the industry
