## Get Involved
|
||||
|
||||
**Anything that supports the Astro community is a valuable contribution.** All types of contribution are meaningful, from code to documentation to blog posts. Anyone can become an Astro Contributor (yes, even you!). Our goal is to recognize all contributors to Astro regardless of skill, experience or background.

**Anything that supports the Astro community is a valuable contribution!**

All types of contribution are meaningful. This can include code changes, type fixes, Discord activity, and even posting about Astro to your personal blog. No contribution is too small!

Anyone can become an Astro contributor (yes, even you!). Engineering ability is not required. Our goal is to recognize all contributors to the project regardless of skill, experience or background.

## Contributor Levels
|
||||
|
||||
We recognize different degrees of contribution as **levels**, and most levels can be reached regardless of coding skill or years of experience. The two most important things that we look for in contributors are:
|
||||
We recognize different levels of contribution as four different **Contributor Levels.** Because each level comes with a new set of privileges and responsibilities, you may also see these levels referred to as **Contributor Roles**.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Being here** - Everyone's time is valuable, and the fact that you're here and contributing to Astro is amazing! Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
|
||||
- **Being a positive member of our community** - Go above and beyond our Code of Conduct, and commit to healthy communication in pull requests, issue discussions, Discord conversations, and interactions outside of our community (ex: no Twitter bullies allowed :)
|
||||
Contributor levels are available to **all members** of the Astro community, regardless of coding skill or experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Each level unlocks new privileges and responsibilities on Discord and GitHub. Below is a summary of each contributor level:

Two important things that we look for in a contributor are:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Being here** - Everyone's time is valuable, and the fact that you're here and contributing to Astro is amazing! Thank you for being a part of this project with us.

- **Being a positive member of our community** - Go above and beyond our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and commit to healthy communication across pull requests, issue discussions, Discord conversations, and any interactions outside of our community (ex: no Twitter bullies allowed :)
|
||||
|
||||
All Contributor roles are granted for as long as the individual wishes to engage with the project.
|
||||
|
||||
Contributors can voluntarily leave the project at any time. See [Retiring a Role](#retiring-a-role-alumni) below for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
In extreme cases -- such as a Code of Conduct violation -- a role may be revoked by a project Steward at their discretion.
|
||||
|
||||
Each new Contributor level unlocks new privileges and responsibilities both on Discord and on GitHub. Below is a summary of each level.

|
||||
The **Maintainer** role is available to contributors who want to join the team and take part in the long-term maintenance and growth of Astro.
|
||||
|
||||
The Maintainer role is critical to the long-term health of Astro. Maintainers act as the first line of defense when it comes to new issues, pull requests and Discord activity. Maintainers are most likely the first people that a user will interact with on Discord or GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
**A Maintainer is not required to write code!** Some Maintainers spend most of their time inside of Discord, maintaining a healthy community there.

In some rare cases, this role may be revoked by a project Steward. However, under normal circumstances this role is granted for as long as the contributor wishes to engage with the project.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nomination Process
|

### Level 3 (L3) - Core Maintainer
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Maintainers** are community members who have contributed a significant amount of time and energy to the project through issues, bug fixes, implementing enhancements/features, and engagement with the community. A Core Maintainer is considered a trusted leader within the community.
|
||||
### Level 3 (L3) - Core
|
||||
|
||||
A Core Maintainer has significant sway in software design decisions. For this reason, coding experience is critical for this role. Core Maintainer is the only level of contributor that does require a significant contribution history on GitHub.
|
||||
The **Core** role is available to community members who have a larger-than-usual impact on the Astro project and community. They are seen as leaders in the project and are listened to by the wider Astro community, often before they have even reached this level. A Core member is recognized for contributing a significant amount of time and energy to the project through issues, pull requests, bug fixes, implementing advanced enhancements/features, and/or actively posting on Discord.
|
||||
|
||||
Core maintainers are watchdogs over the code, ensuring code quality, correctness and security. A Core Maintainer helps to set the direction of the project and ensure a healthy future for Astro.
|
||||
Not every contributor will reach this level, and that's okay! L2 Maintainers still have significant responsibility and privileges within our community.

|
||||
- Ownership over specific parts of the project.
|
||||
- Maintaining and improving overall architecture.
|
||||
- Tracking and ensuring progress of open pull requests.
|
||||
- Reviewing and merging larger, non-trivial PRs.
|
||||
- Ownership over specific part(s) of the project.
|
||||
- Ownership over the long-term health and success of Astro.
|
||||
- Leadership as a role-model to other maintainers and community members.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nomination
|
||||
|
||||
To be nominated, a nominee is expected to already be performing some of the responsibilities of a Core Maintainer. This could include showing expertise over some larger section of the codebase, championing RFCs through ideation and implementation, reviewing non-trivial PRs and providing critical feedback, or some combination of those responsibilities listed above.
|
||||
|
||||
If a Core Maintainer steps away from the project for a significant amount of time, they may be removed as a Core Maintainer (L3 -> L2) until they choose to return.
|
||||
|
||||
In some rare cases, this role may be revoked by a project Steward. However, under normal circumstances this role is granted for as long as the contributor wishes to engage with the project.

||||

### Steward
|
||||
#### Special Membership Type: Core Residency
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Residency** is a special type of Core membership that is limited in the following way(s):
|
||||
|
||||
- No voting abilities.
|
||||
- No nomination abilities.
|
||||
- Can be revoked at any time by the project Steward.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of these limitations, this type of Core membership is useful for anyone who has been brought in to work on or contribute to the Astro project without rising through our normal contributor levels. For example: an Astro designer or developer advocate hired by The Astro Technology Company to assist the community could be nominated for a Core Residency role without having a previously earned contributor level.
|
||||
|
||||
A Core Residency nomination must still be approved through the normal Core nomination and voting process. During the nomination, the Project Steward will state that the nomination is for the Core Residency designation. The project Steward is the only one who can officially make this designation during the nomination process.
|
||||
|
||||
A Core Residency member can become a full Core member (with all limitations removed) through the normal Core nomination and voting procedure.
|
||||
|
||||
If a Core Residency member has their membership revoked, the project Steward may choose to impose a waiting period of some number of days, during which the member can not be re-nominated to become a full Core member.
|
||||
|
||||
### Level 4 - Project Steward
|
||||
|
||||
The **Steward** is an additional role bestowed to 1 (or more) Core member of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
The role of Steward is mainly an administrative one. Stewards control and maintain sensitive project assets, assist in resolving conflicts, and act as tiebreakers in the event of disagreements.

|
||||
|

In extremely rare cases, a Steward can act unilaterally when they believe it is in the project's best interest and can prove that the issue cannot be resolved through normal governance procedure. The steward must publicly state their reason for unilateral action before taking it.

## Other Roles
|
||||
|
||||
### Staff
|
||||
### Project Teams
|
||||
|
||||
Staff is a special designation for employees of [The Astro Technology Company](https://astro.build/company) that lives outside of our Governance model. The staff role was designed to help those of us working full-time on Astro to work productively without "skipping the line" and circumventing our governance model entirely.
|
||||
Besides our contributor levels described above, there are additional roles and teams available that community members are welcome to join. Roles are a great way to organize around different projects and initiatives in our community. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
The staff role was designed to offer instant **visibility** and **trust**, but not instant **authority.**
|
||||
- `@team-docs` runs the `#docs` channel and organizes the growth and development of Astro documentation.
|
||||
- `@i18n-gang` runs the `#docs-i18n` channel and organizes translations in several languages.
|
||||
- `@support-squad` runs the `#support-threads` channel and helps anyone who needs help using Astro.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of these team roles can be browsed and joined automatically by visiting the `#manage-roles` channel in our Discord. Getting involved with a team is a great way to start contributing to Astro!
|
||||
|
||||
### Moderator
|
||||
|
||||
**Moderator** is a special role available to Maintainers (L2 and above). While all maintainers are granted permissions to moderate for bad behavior across our community, a Moderator actively takes on this the responsibility. For example, a community member may ping moderators (via the `@mods` role) to resolve spam posts or Code of Conduct violations.
|
||||
|
||||
Trivial tasks (like removing spam) can be acted on unilaterally by a Moderator. Other non-trivial tasks (like assisting with or resolving a Code of Conduct violation) should involve the entire Moderator team (and in some cases, the project Steward).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Privileges
|
||||
|
||||
All privileges of the [Core Maintainer role](#level-3---core-mainainer), except...
|
||||
|
||||
- Instead of gaining Discord contributor roles (`@contributor`, `@maintainer`, `@core`) you will receive a special `@staff` role in Discord and GitHub that grants equivalent visibility and permissions as `@core`.
|
||||
- No voting abilities for the first 3 months of staff membership. Then, the role grants equivalent voting permissions as `@core` (see [Voting](#voting) below).
|
||||
- Not eligible for additional contributor levels while acting as `@staff`. You can retain all current contributor levels and can request a new nomination upon leaving `@staff` (See [Leaving Staff](#leaving-staff) below). This rule is designed to prevent a team of contributors/maintainers that is overwhelmingly ex-staff members.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Responsibilities will vary. Most often, a staff member will regularly meet the responsibilites of either the [Maintainer (L2)](#level-2---maintainer) or [Core Maintainer (L3)](#level-3---core-mainainer) role.
|
||||
- `@mods` role on [Discord](https://astro.build/chat)
|
||||
- Invitation to the private `#moderators` channel on Discord
|
||||
- Invitation to the `staff` team on GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nomination
|
||||
|
||||
There is no nomination process for this role. The project steward is responsible for granting and revoking the `@staff` role.
|
||||
Any Maintainer (L2 and above) can self-nominate by messaging the project Steward (`@steward`) on Discord.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Leaving Staff
|
||||
### Technical Steering Committee (TSC)
|
||||
|
||||
When someone leaves the Astro Technology Company, they lose staff privileges and return to their original membership level in our governance structure (whatever level they were at before joining staff).
|
||||
The **TSC** is a special role available to Core members (L3 and above). TSC members are responsible for the growth and maintenance of the Astro codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
If that person wishes to continue working on Astro after leaving, they may request a nomination to become an official L2 or L3 contributor. This nomination would follow the normal voting rules & procedure for that role (see [Voting](#voting) below).
|
||||
TSC members are guardians over the Astro codebase. Their duty is to ensure code quality, correctness and security.
|
||||
|
||||
A TSC member guides the direction of the project and ensures a healthy future for the Astro codebase. TSC members are ultimately responsible for technical decision making when it comes to any changes to the Astro codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
A TSC member has significant sway in software design decisions. For this reason, coding experience is critical for this role. TSC membership is one of the only roles that requires a significant contribution history of code to the Astro project on GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Privileges
|
||||
|
||||
- `@tsc` role on [Discord](https://astro.build/chat)
|
||||
- Invitation to the private `#tsc` channel on Discord
|
||||
- Invitation to the `tsc` team on GitHub.
|
||||
- Ability to merge all GitHub PRs.
|
||||
- Ability to vote on RFCs and technical initiatives (see [Voting](#voting) below).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- Participating in RFC discussions and technical meetings.
|
||||
- Assisting with design and implementation of non-trivial GitHub PRs.
|
||||
- Reviewing and merging larger, non-trivial PRs.
|
||||
- Maintaining and improving overall codebase architecture.
|
||||
- Tracking and ensuring progress of open pull requests.
|
||||
- Mentoring and guiding other community contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nomination
|
||||
|
||||
- To be nominated, a nominee is expected to already be active in technical discussions and performing some of the responsibilities of a TSC member.
|
||||
- You can be nominated by any existing Core member (L3 or above). Note: This includes all existing TSC members as well.
|
||||
- Once nominated, there will be a vote by existing Core members.
|
||||
- See [vote rules & requirements](#voting) for info on how this vote works.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Staff
|
||||
|
||||
**Staff** is a special designation for employees of [The Astro Technology Company](https://astro.build/company).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Privileges
|
||||
|
||||
- `@staff` role on [Discord](https://astro.build/chat)
|
||||
- New name color on Discord: **yellow**.
|
||||
- Invitation to some private channels on Discord, at the discretion of the project Steward.
|
||||
- Invitation to the `staff` team on GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
Staff membership does not grant any additional abilities when it comes to voting and project governance. A Staff member is still eligible for other roles in the community and may still vote as defined by their other roles. For example, a Staff member who is also a part of `@core` will be able to vote as any other `@core` member would.
|
||||
|
||||
### Alumni
|
||||
|
||||
**Alumni** is a special designation for Maintainers (L2 and above) who have stepped away from the project and no longer contribute regularly. See [Retiring a Role](#retiring-a-role-alumni) below for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Privileges
|
||||
|
||||
- `@alumni` role on [Discord](https://astro.build/chat)
|
||||
- New name color on Discord: **light blue**.
|
||||
- Invitation to the private `#alumni` channel on Discord.
|
||||

|
||||
## Retiring a Role (Alumni)
|
||||
|
||||
Contributor roles are granted for as long as the person wishes to engage with the project. However, over time an active community member may choose to step away from the Astro project to work on other things. Moving on from a project is a natural and well-understood part of any open source community, and we celebrate it!

**Alumni** is a special designation and role for any person who was once an active maintainer (L2 or above) but is now no longer actively involved. By retiring and joining Alumni you trade-in your current set of roles, privileges, and responsibilities for a new, special Alumni role (which comes with its own set of Privileges, as described above).
|
||||
|
||||
As a Maintainer (L2 or above) you can retire your role at any time by pinging the project Steward and requesting Alumni status. You can initiate this action yourself if you know ahead-of-time that you need to step away from the project. Or, if you have gone several months without interacting with the Astro community, the project Steward may actively reach out to you to discuss retiring as a way to make room for new contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
As an Alumni member, you are still a part of the Astro community and can continue to be a part of our Discord, GitHub, and anywhere else. You may also request to have your old roles reinstated at any time through the normal nomination & voting process for that role.
|
||||
|
||||
Rejoining the project as a contributor (L1 or above) will automatically remove you from the Alumni role.

Astro features are discussed using a model called [Consensus-seeking decision-making](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus-seeking_decision-making). This model attempts to achieve consensus on all significant changes to Astro, but has a fallback voting procedure in place if consensus appears unattainable.

**Who can vote:** All Maintainers (L2 and above).
|
||||
**Who can vote:** All [TSC](#technical-steering-committee-tsc) members.

1. Anyone can submit an RFC to suggest changes to Astro.
|

2. A trivial change can be discussed and approved entirely within the RFC GitHub issue, as long as there are no objections from Maintainers or Core Maintainers. This is not considered a formal vote.

3. A non-trivial, significant change should be discussed within the RFC GitHub issue and approved during an RFC meeting call.

3. A non-trivial, significant change should be discussed within the RFC and approved during an RFC meeting call. In some cases, an RFC may be approved outside of an RFC meeting using Pull Request reviews as a proxy for votes.

4. During an RFC meeting, the person leading the call will attempt to achieve consensus on the RFC proposal.
|

5. **If consensus is reached:** the RFC is approved.
|
||||
6. **If consensus is not reached:** Maintainers must make all reasonable attempts to resolve issues and reach consensus in GitHub or a follow-up RFC meeting. The process of reaching consensus can take time, and should not be rushed as long as all participants are making a reasonable effort to respond.
|
||||
7. **If consensus still cannot be reached:** The project Steward may initiate the first fallback mechanism by limiting the vote to Core Maintainers.

8. **If consensus still cannot be reached:** The project Steward may initiate a final fallback vote of Core Maintainers, of which an overwhelming majority (80%+) is required to pass.

7. **If consensus still cannot be reached:** The project Steward may invoke [rough consensus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_consensus) to resolve an RFC that has not achieved absolute consensus, as described below (borrowed from the [IETF](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2418)):

||||
|
||||
> Working groups make decisions through a "rough consensus" process. Astro consensus does not require that all participants agree although this is, of course, preferred. In general, the dominant view of the TSC shall prevail. (However, "dominance" is not to be determined on the basis of volume or persistence, but rather a more general sense of agreement). Consensus can be determined by a show of hands, humming, or any other means on which the TSC agrees (by rough consensus, of course). Note that 51% of the TSC does not qualify as "rough consensus" and 99% is better than rough. It is up to the project Steward to determine if rough consensus has been reached.
