Groups and Teams¶

As a free and open-source software (FOSS) project, anyone can contribute to postmarketOS by submitting patches and taking part in discussions. There are a wide range of contributions that come from all corners of our amazing community. You too can contribute!

All creatures welcome. Make sure to follow the Code of Conduct.

Groups¶

Core Contributors¶

The Core Contributors set the overall project direction, design and maintain the infrastructure, and are responsible for governance tasks.

Trusted Contributors¶

Trusted Contributors (TC) are involved in different parts of the day-to-day work.

Active Contributors¶

Active Contributors can’t merge changes themselves, but otherwise do much of what Trusted Contributors do. They usually focus on the specific devices they are interested in. Active Contributors get Reporter access in GitLab.

Teams¶

postmarketOS is also organized into Teams, which are built around a singular topic or purpose.

Testing Team¶

Given the breadth of hardware postmarketOS supports, extensive testing is important to prevent regressions: the Testing Team tests changes before they’re released ensuring they’re as reliable as possible.

Code of Conduct Team¶

By following our Code of Conduct, we establish a baseline of civil and professional collaboration. In case people behave unacceptably (join our channels and insult others, post spam, etc.) we enforce the CoC with the CoC Team.

The CoC Team is not a last resort and it is typically best to contact them sooner than later so they can help prevent issues from escalating. Getting in touch doesn’t mean that severe action will be taken, and more often than not they can resolve issues peacefully.

The Board¶

The board is responsible for approving expenses in our Open Collective as well as budgets when executing projects.

Infrastructure Team¶

The Infrastructure Team administrates postmarketOS servers and services running on them.
