Project Governance

Principles

The Open Horizon community aspires to the following principles:

Openness - Open Horizon is an LF Edge open source software project. We strive to prevent barriers to joining and contributing to our project. One way we do that is by fostering a welcoming and professional environment to enhance collaboration.

Transparency and accessibility - Work and collaboration should be done in public, with a record that can be consulted later, and not within private meetings.

Excellence - Valid and attested ideas and contributions are accepted according to their technical execution and alignment with project objectives, scope, and design principles. Not all potential contributions will meet the thresholds for being accepted into the codebase.

Project Goal

As specified in the Technical Charter:

The mission of the Project is to develop open source software to autonomously and securely manage the service software lifecycle of global or local fleets of edge compute nodes in various connected states as the delivery and management component of the industry-standard open edge computing platform solution.

The scope of the Project includes software development under an OSI-approved open source license supporting the mission, including documentation, testing, integration and the creation of other artifacts that aid the development, deployment, operation or adoption of the open source software project.

Behavioral Goal

Above all, our behavioral goal as a community is to foster a welcoming and professional environment in order to enable and promote productive development of software and related standards. To achieve those ends, we have adopted the following Code of Conduct. As warranted, the CoC should be revisited and updated periodically to keep it aligned with our community goals.
