EdgeX Foundry Technical Steering Committee
The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) is a committee composed of technical leaders from the open source project responsible for oversight of the technical codebase, the technical community and release process.
The TSC is responsible for:
coordinating the technical direction of the EdgeX Foundry Project, including the architecture and projects to achieve the Mission and Scope of the EdgeX Foundry Project;
approving project proposals (including, but not limited to, incubation, deprecation and changes to a project’s charter or scope) in accordance with a project lifecycle document to be developed, approved and maintained by the TSC;
designating top level projects, Umbrella Projects and facilitating synergy, collaboration and technical coordination (API, data Models etc.) across all projects;
creating sub-committees or working groups to focus on cross-project technical issues or opportunities;
coordinate technical community engagement with the End User (as defined in Section 6 of Project Charter) community with respect to requirements, high level architecture, implementation experiences, use cases, etc.;
communicating with external and industry organizations concerning Project technical matters;
appointing representatives to work with other open source or standards communities;
establishing community norms, workflows or policies for releases;
discussing, seeking consensus, and where necessary, voting on technical matters relating to the code base that affect multiple projects; and
establishing election processes for Maintainers or other leadership roles in the technical community that are not within the scope of any single project.
