Charter

+ The Developer Relations Foundation is a community-driven project, with no funding involved. The Governance Playbook documents how the Developer Relations Foundation operates and is structured. While the general Charter provides an overview of the project's structure and governance, this document covers specific operational details that ensure smooth participation and collaboration. It includes documentation on the DRF community structure, roles, and responsibilities, communication channels, regular meetings, and processes to submit new proposals and start or continue discussions. +

Why a DevRel Foundation?

Why Do We Need a DevRel Foundation?

- The purpose of having a foundation is to create an impartial community-driven entity that can provide resources, support, and governance for the Developer Relations community. + The major benefit of a foundation is that it promotes participatory governance, preventing any single company from monopolizing a collaborative project.

Why the Linux Foundation?

- The DevRel Foundation's Steering Committee oversees the Foundation's activities according to its Charter. The work is organized into Working Groups that focus on sourcing and innovating best practices in Developer Relations through peer-reviewed resources and materials. + This collaborative project has been hosted as a community project, with no funding involved. This means taking advantage of the governance structure, project management staff, and back-end resources that the Linux Foundation (LF) provides to all hosted projects under an unfunded model, to ensure long-term sustainability. Developer Relations Foundation is part of the LF project series, as a non-profit 501(c)(6). +

+ The LF allows individual contributors to retain copyright ownership of their contributions while providing an open source license, reflected through the Developer Certificate of Origin sign-off process. +

+

+ We also chose the LF to avoid reinventing the wheel. Creating something new requires tools, infrastructure, and, ideally, a lightweight process to get started and make the initiative resilient. +
