Want to hack on Confd? Awesome! Here are instructions to get you started. They are probably not perfect, please let us know if anything feels wrong or incomplete.
Confd follows the timeless, highly efficient and totally unfair system known as Benevolent dictator for life.
Kelsey Hightower - the creator of Confd - serves as the project's BDFL. Kelsey serves as the final arbiter of any disputes and has the final say on project direction.
Core maintainers are exceptionally knowledgeable about Confd. Core maintainers are responsible for the following:
- respond to github issues, review and merge pull requests
- help shape confd's roadmap
- actively participate in feature development and general maintenance
- answer and help users in #confd
- interview and recruit new members as contributing maintainers
Pull requests which are considered minor or "showstoppers" can be merged with at least one core maintainer's LGTM, otherwise they need approval from the BDFL.
Kelsey.
- make yourself useful by contributing code, bugfixes, support etc.
- volunteer on the irc channel
Don't forget: being a maintainer is a time investment. Make sure you will have time to make yourself available. You don't have to be a maintainer to make a difference on the project!
