| 169 | + ### How things get done in the Node.js project | ||
| 170 | + | ||
| 171 | + #### Goal | ||
| 172 | + | ||
| 173 | + Help people understand that no people are paid to answer their issues or | ||
| 174 | + implement their pull requests. Things get done based on what volunteers work on | ||
| 175 | + and the best way to get something fixed/changed is to submit a Pull request. | ||
| 176 | + | ||
| 177 | + Some of the things to highlight include: | ||
| 178 | + | ||
| 179 | + * Nobody is paid specifically to answer issues, fix bugs or implement new features. | ||
| 180 | + * No company owns/supports Node.js. Most contributions are from individuals | ||
| 181 | + as opposed to organizations. When an individual becomes a collaborator | ||
| 182 | + the access and priviledges are granted to the indidual, their employer does | ||
| 183 | + not gain any additional rights in the project. | ||
| 184 | + * The governance of the project is specifically designed to prevent one or | ||
| 185 | + a small number of companies from dominating the project. | ||
| 186 | + * Decisions are made by the active collaborators, there is no single person | ||
| 187 | + who makes a decision for the project on their own. This can slow down | ||
| 188 | + decision making but most often results in better outcomes. | ||
| 189 | + * The project is open and receptive to contributions. If you need something PR | ||
| 190 | + in a fix or feature. | ||
| 191 | + * Maintainers are people just like you, with many priorities and end goals. We | ||
| 192 | + all have the same goal of moving the Node.js project forward but at the same | ||
| 193 | + time we all have other responsibilities that affect how much time we have | ||
| 194 | + available to do so. | ||
| 195 | + * People are volunteering their time to review your PRs and answer questions in | ||
| 196 | + the issues you open. Be mindfull of your asks for their time and acknowledge | ||
| 197 | + the gift of their time. Too many issues/PRs in a short period of time may | ||
| 198 | + overwelm maintainers leading to less progress versus more, try to pace your | ||
| 199 | + issues and PRs so that you don't have too many open at the same time. The | ||
| 200 | + same goes for comments in discussions, try to avoid overwelming a discussion | ||
| 201 | + with too many responses, even too much useful data can overwelm a discussion | ||
| 202 | + leading to lower engagement. | ||
| 203 | + * While volunteers work to do the right thing for the community, the project | ||
| 204 | + does not owe anybody anything and does not tolerate abusive or | ||
| 205 | + demanding language in issues, discussions or PRs. A respectful dialog will | ||
| 206 | + maximize the chances of the outcome you desire. | ||
| 207 | + * If you depend on timely support or an SLA, contract with a company that provides | ||
| 208 | + paid support and will prioritize your issues. | ||
