| # Release Working Group | ||
|
|
||
| The Node.js Release Working Group (WG) maintains oversight | ||
| over the Node.js Release, Long Term Support (LTS) and | ||
| Canary in the Gold Mine (CitGM) teams. It manages the release | ||
| and long term support schedule and policies for all Node.js releases. | ||
|
|
||
| The WG has final authority over Releases including: | ||
|
|
||
| * Release process and tools. | ||
| * Content for all releases. | ||
| * Schedule for all releases. | ||
| * Contribution policy for the Release repository. | ||
| * Conduct guidelines for the Working group. | ||
| * Administration of Long Term Support policy for all releases. | ||
|
|
||
| For the current list of WG members, see the project README.md. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Collaborators | ||
|
|
||
| The Release GitHub repository is maintained by the WG (all WG | ||
| members are Collaborators for the Release repository) and additional | ||
| Collaborators who are added by the WG on an ongoing basis. | ||
|
|
||
| Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are made | ||
| Collaborators and given commit-access to the Release repository. | ||
| These individuals are identified by the WG and their addition | ||
| as Collaborators is discussed during the WG meeting. | ||
|
|
||
| **Note**: If you make a significant contribution and are not considered for | ||
| commit access, log an issue or contact a WG member directly and it will | ||
| be brought up in the next WG meeting. | ||
|
|
||
| Modifications of the contents of the Release repository are made | ||
| on a collaborative basis. Anybody with a GitHub account may propose a | ||
| modification via pull request and it will be considered by the project | ||
| Collaborators. All pull requests must be reviewed and accepted by a | ||
| Collaborator with sufficient expertise who is able to take full responsibility | ||
| for the change. In the case of pull requests proposed by an existing | ||
| Collaborator, an additional Collaborator is required for sign-off. Consensus | ||
| should be sought if additional Collaborators participate and there is | ||
| disagreement around a particular modification. See Consensus Seeking | ||
| Process below for further detail on the consensus model used for governance. | ||
|
|
||
| Collaborators may opt to elevate significant or controversial modifications, | ||
| or modifications that have not found consensus to the WG for discussion by | ||
| assigning the WG-agenda tag to a pull request or issue. The WG should serve | ||
| as the final arbiter where required. | ||
|
|
||
| ## WG Membership | ||
|
|
||
| WG seats are not time-limited. There is no fixed size of the WG. | ||
|
|
||
| There is no specific set of requirements or qualifications | ||
| for WG membership beyond these rules. | ||
|
|
||
| The WG may add additional members to the WG by consensus(defined | ||
| as no objections, more than 50% of the members participating in the | ||
| discussion, and all those participating in the discussion agreeing). | ||
|
|
||
| A WG member may be removed from the WG by voluntary resignation, | ||
| or by unanimous consensus of all other WG members. If a member is | ||
| removed from the WG then they are also removed from all WG teams | ||
| (including the Releasers team). | ||
|
|
||
| Changes to WG membership should be posted in the agenda, and may be | ||
| suggested as any other agenda item (see "WG Meetings" below). | ||
|
|
||
| If an addition or removal is proposed during a meeting, and the full WG | ||
| is not in attendance to participate, then the addition or removal is | ||
| added to the agenda for the subsequent meeting. This is to ensure | ||
| that all members are given the opportunity to participate in all | ||
| membership decisions. If a WG member is unable to attend a meeting | ||
| where a planned membership decision is being made, | ||
| then their consent is assumed. | ||
|
|
||
| No more than 1/3 of the voting WG members may be affiliated with the same | ||
| employer. If removal or resignation of a WG member, or a change of | ||
| employment by a WG member, creates a situation where more than 1/3 | ||
| of the WG membership shares an employer, then the situation must be | ||
| immediately remedied by the resignation or removal of one or more | ||
| WG members affiliated with the over-represented employer(s). | ||
|
|
||
| ## WG Meetings | ||
|
|
||
| The WG meets regularly, check the foundation calendar for details. | ||
| One of the WG members will volunteer to act as the moderator | ||
| for each meeting subject to agreement from the rest of the | ||
| members. Each meeting should be published to YouTube. | ||
|
|
||
| Items are added to the WG agenda that are considered contentious or are | ||
| modifications of governance, contribution policy, | ||
| WG membership, or release process. | ||
|
|
||
| The intention of the agenda is not to approve or review all patches; | ||
| that should happen continuously on GitHub and be handled | ||
| by the larger group of Collaborators. | ||
|
|
||
| Any community member or contributor can ask that something be | ||
| added to the next meeting's agenda by logging a GitHub Issue. | ||
| Any Collaborator, WG member or the moderator can add the item | ||
| to the agenda by adding the WG-agenda tag to the issue. | ||
|
|
||
| Prior to each WG meeting the moderator will share the Agenda with | ||
| members of the WG. WG members can add any items they like to the | ||
| agenda at the beginning of each meeting. | ||
|
|
||
| The WG may invite persons or representatives from certain | ||
| projects to participate in a non-voting capacity. | ||
|
|
||
| The moderator is responsible for summarizing the discussion of | ||
| each agenda item and sends it as a pull request after the meeting. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Consensus Seeking Process | ||
|
|
||
| The WG follows a Consensus Seeking decision-making model. | ||
|
|
||
| When an agenda item has appeared to reach a consensus the moderator | ||
| will ask "Does anyone object?" as a final call for dissent from the consensus. | ||
|
|
||
| If an agenda item cannot reach a consensus a WG member can call for either a | ||
| closing vote or a vote to table the issue to the next meeting. The call for | ||
| a vote must be seconded by a majority of the WG or else the | ||
| discussion will continue. Simple majority wins. | ||
|
|
||
| Note that changes to WG membership require unanimous consensus. | ||
| See "WG Membership" above. |
