SQLMesh Project Governance

Overview

SQLMesh is a Series of LF Projects, LLC. The project is governed by its Technical Charter and overseen by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC). SQLMesh is a project of the Linux Foundation.

Technical Steering Committee

The TSC is responsible for all technical oversight of the project, including:

  • Coordinating the technical direction of the project
  • Approving project or system proposals
  • Organizing sub-projects and removing sub-projects
  • Creating sub-committees or working groups to focus on cross-project technical issues
  • Appointing representatives to work with other open source or open standards communities
  • Establishing community norms, workflows, issuing releases, and security vulnerability reports
  • Approving and implementing policies for contribution requirements
  • Coordinating any marketing, events, or communications regarding the project

TSC Composition

TSC voting members are initially the project's Maintainers as listed in CONTRIBUTING.md. The TSC may elect a Chair from among its voting members. The Chair presides over TSC meetings and serves as the primary point of contact with the Linux Foundation.

Decision Making

The project operates as a consensus-based community. When a formal vote is required:

  • Each voting TSC member receives one vote
  • A quorum of 50% of voting members is required to conduct a vote
  • Decisions are made by a majority of those present when quorum is met
  • Electronic votes (e.g., via GitHub issues or mailing list) require a majority of all voting members to pass
  • Votes that do not meet quorum or remain unresolved may be referred to the Series Manager for resolution

Charter Amendments

The technical charter may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the entire TSC, subject to approval by LF Projects, LLC.
