Magma strives to operate under an open governance model that encourages contribution and participation from all interested organizations and developers. Technical decisions are made by technical contributors and a representative Technical Steering Committee, as detailed in the project Technical Charter. The community is committed to diversity, openness, and encouraging new contributors and leaders to rise up.
Governance
Overview
Technical Steering Committee
The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) is comprised of 8 members who are responsible for architectural decisions and making final decisions if the Committers cannot come to an agreement. The TSC will will develop and approve additional governance rules and procedures for the project, as detailed in the Technical Charter.
