The Cassandra PMC is tasked with project management—especially technical direction, votes on new committers and PMC members for the project, and sets policies as well as formally voting on software product releases. Our guiding philosophies are to default to the dev list and “decide as a community,” and to favor PMC minimalism. -------- [openblock,flex flex-space-around governance-links my-small py-small] -------- [openblock,governance-link w50 full-800 text-center] ---------- [.block] image:Icons/community-preso.svg[alt=ASF Project Independence Overview,width=100] [.btn.btn--alt] https://community.apache.org/projectIndependence[ASF Project Independence Overview,window=blank] ---------- [openblock,governance-link w50 full-800 text-center] ---------- [.block] image:Icons/community-preso-2.svg[alt=Cassandra PMC Governance Overview,width=100] [.btn.btn--alt] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Cassandra+Project+Governance[Cassandra PMC Governance Overview,window=blank] ---------- [openblock,governance-link w50 full-800 text-center] ---------- [.block] image:Icons/community-users.svg[alt=ASF PMC Overview,width=100] [.btn.btn--alt] https://www.apache.org/foundation/governance/pmcs.html[ASF PMC Overview,window=blank] ---------- [openblock,governance-link w50 full-800 text-center] ---------- [.block] image:Icons/community-users-chat.svg[alt=The Apache Way,width=100] [.btn.btn--alt] https://www.apache.org/theapacheway/index.html[The Apache Way,window=blank] ---------- -------- ------ ---- // end projet governance // start how to contribute [openblock,how-to-contribute grad grad--two flex-center inner white] ---- [openblock,inner text-center py-xxlarge] ------ [#how-to-contribute] [discrete] == How to Contribute // start row [openblock,contribution-row text-left cf] -------- [openblock, float25 full-800] ---------- [discrete] === Becoming a contributor ---------- [openblock, float75 full-800] ---------- Contributors are individuals who contribute patches—source code, documentation, help on mailing lists, website—to Apache projects.
