     1  # Porter Project Goveranance
     2  
     3  This document outlines how the Porter project governs itself. The Porter project
     4  consists of the repositories in the https://github.com/getporter
     5  organization. 
     6  
     7  Everyone who interacts with the project must abide by our [Code of Conduct]. 
     8  
     9  ## Legal
    10  
    11  The Porter project is in the [CNCF Sandbox](https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/). ⛱
    12  
    13  ## Roles
    14  
    15  We have a [Contribution Ladder] that explains the capabilities and
    16  responsibilities of each role on the project. The ladder includes the
    17  requirements necessary to "move up the ladder" and attain each role such as:
    18  
    19  * Contributor
    20  * Maintainer
    21  * Emeritus Maintainer
    22  * Admin
    23  
    24  The [OWNERS.md] file defines the maintainers of the project.
    25  
    26  ## Release Process
    27  
    28  Maintainers create the next release when the main branch is stable and related
    29  groupings of work is complete. We have a loose cadence, and strive to hit a release 
    30  every three (3) months.
    31  
    32  Releases are done by creating a [new release](https://github.com/getporter/porter/releases/new)
    33  This will trigger the Github Action Pipelines to build and publish the new release to Github and 
    34  the Website. After this is done, we update the [CNCF Slack Channel](https://cloud-native.slack.com/) (#porter) & [Mailing List](https://groups.io/g/porter). 
    35  
    36  ## Issue Response Timeline
    37  
    38  Porter is taken care of by maintainers and contributors who volunteer their time.
    39  We aim to **respond** to issues within five (5) business days.
    40  
    41  ## Roadmap
    42  
    43  Our [Roadmap] is determined by where our maintainers have decided to volunteer
    44  their time. We try to keep it up-to-date so that the community can see where the
    45  project is headed but it is not a commitment.
