Discussions

Governance

Martin provided an update on the progress made regarding the governance update see

Martin brought up the governance provisions for the Core Dev Group, noting that we may soon have no active members. However, some newly active contributors (Sunil and Rory, among others) will need further onboarding. The group agreed that it is essential for the developer community to self-organize, and this conversation should continue on the forum. Rory's onboarding and path to the Core Dev Group are a great starting point for this discussion.
