This repository contains documents related to Bytecode Alliance governance.
The Bytecode Alliance is governed by a Governing Board. A Technical Steering Committee (TSC) reports to that board and provides technical oversight to Hosted Projects and Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
Hosted Projects are source code repositories that are governed by the Bytecode Alliance.
A Special Interest Group is a group of Bytecode Alliance members and invited participants who share an interest in a particular application or aspect of the technology that the Bytecode Alliance is working on.
The Bytecode Alliance's governance and processes are defined in a variety of governing documents:
- The mission statement describes the Bytecode Alliance's core mission
- The bylaws define the legal entity's foundational rules
- The TSC Charter defines the structure and processes of the TSC, with more information about hosted project requirements and project governance in additional documents
- The Operational Principals describe the standards we hold ourselves to
- The Code of Conduct describes the expected conduct in our community
- The Project License describes the default license the Bytecode Alliance uses, with exceptions listed here
- The communication document lays out tequirements and guidelines for how to communicate as a Bytecode Alliance participant
- The AI tools policy document lays out the Alliance's policy on use of AI tools
The Bytecode Alliance has a long list of contributors. We especially recognize those that have made a material difference to the Alliance's goals, as laid out in the TSC's charter.
