Our governance refers to the "Core Principles" of Airship, but we've been lax in formally defining what those are. This patchset adds a general definition, based on discussion from the Working Comittee meeting on 2020-06-29. Change-Id: Ia912d14913dd540d9c3550b40ab22536e40431ab

# Airship Core Principles
|
|
|
|
* [Community Principles](#community-principles)
|
|
* [Technical Principles](#technical-principles)
|
|
|
|
The Airship project follows several technical principles which guide what we build, and community
|
|
principles which guide how we build it.
|
|
|
|
## Community Principles
|
|
|
|
The Airship community is fully committed to the OpenStack Foundation
|
|
[Community Code of Conduct](https://www.openstack.org/legal/community-code-of-conduct). We are
|
|
a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive community, and believe treating one another in this way
|
|
is both the right thing to do and the best way to craft valuable software.
|
|
|
|
Airship is also committed to the [Four Opens](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open) of software
|
|
development: Open Source, Open Design, Open Development, and Open Community.
|
|
|
|
## Technical Principles
|
|
|
|
The Airship project uses the following guiding principles in design and development, to ensure
|
|
that the software we author is valuable and solves the right problems.
|
|
|
|
* Airship is a declarative and automated toolset for the lifecycle management of
|
|
open infrastructure.
|
|
* Airship is Repeatable, Predictable, Approachable, Flexible, Composable, and Reusable.
|
|
* Airship follows
|
|
[cloud-native principles](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/DEFINITION.md)
|
|
and uses standardized, open-source components, avoiding technology lock-in.
|
|
* Airship is small and focused, incorporating best-in-class open-source tooling and employing the
|
|
principles above to integrate it in and make it valuable to operators. The Airship community
|
|
prefers to enhance general-purpose projects, working within their communities, over crafting
|
|
Airship-specific solutions.
