Open-source governance

Open-source governance is about how people work together to manage and develop a project. It is a way for lots of different people to work together in an organized way to make sure a project can reach its goals and stay successful.

Open-source projects are usually free to the public to use and share. This means anyone can look at the project and use it or even help develop it. People around the world can decide to help improve the project by helping to write new code, suggesting changes, or providing advice.

When a large group of people work together on a project, it needs to be organized and have rules. That’s what open-source governance is—it sets out guidelines to make sure everyone who works on the project knows their role, how decisions are made and who does what work. Everyone who wants to work on the project follows these guidelines and then the project can move forward and stay successful.
