Github Organizations
EdgeX Foundry is an open project with all of its code, documentation and other artifacts stored primarily in Github. Specifically, there are two Github organizations that hold EdgeX related artifacts:
...
Github Repository Creation and Owners
...
New EdgeX repositories can be created in either Github organization.
- Repositories created in edgexfoundry require the majority approval of the TSC as these are considered repositories of artifacts that EdgeX must manage, maintain and otherwise actively administer with the support of the Linux Foundation. New repositories in this organization are created with a request sent through support.linuxfoundation.org (the Linux Foundation’s IT project support system) and must contain the github id of the “owner” and a list of github IDs for the original committers (all approved by the TSC). The owner should be a WG chair. The request for a new repository must also include a reference to the TSC approval (example: link to the meeting minutes containing the approval). Any modification to the repositories (updates on name, deletion, archival, membership changes, or additional administrative changes) require TSC majority approval. The request for any change to the repository must be made through the LF support system and include a reference to the TSC approval.
- Repositories created in edgexfoundry-holding require the approval of any single TSC member. Repositories in this organization are also created with a request sent through support.linuxfoundation.org and must contain the github id of the “owner” and a list of github IDs for the original committers. The owner is the TSC member requesting the holding repository. The request for a new repository should contain a link to this policy for approval. Any modification to the repositories (updates on name, deletion, archival, membership changes, or additional administrative changes) require the repository owner’s approval (not TSC approval). The request for any change to the repository must be made through the LF support system and should contain a link to this policy for approval.
