The protobom project community wants to ensure that all of our meetings, forums, and chat channels are welcoming, inclusive spaces where contributors can share and exchange their ideas freely to improve the state of the Software Bill of Materials around the world.
Our governance model is under development as we search for mechanisms to make community and technical decisions at a quick enough pace that enables a healthy innovation rhythm while considering the points of view of all interested community members.
The current governance model is laid out in our Technical Charter, it reflects the way the original cohort of companies that created protobom voted on decisions before the project moved to the OpenSSF.
Interactions between the protobom community members and in all of the project's forums are governed by our Code of Conduct which is pretty generic but can be summarized as: respect others, be kind and think about what is best for the community as a group.
If you want to begin your journey as a technical contributor, check out our Contributor Guide in the main protobom repository. We also have many areas where the project needs non-technical help!
Finally, we would love to know you! Consider joining our community meetings, we will be happy to see you there.
