**Lix** is developed by a community of passionate users! We have no "benevolent dictator for life",
nor a small foundation board that governs the community. Instead, we rely on teams of our developers
and users to carry the burdens of maintenance and governance.
## Core Team
The **core team** are the developers most directly responsible for the Lix project. While the project
is in its "soft-release" period, these folks are responsible for project governance. One of their main
tasks is to establish a lasting governance model -- and other teams to handle things!
Members (in alphabetical order):
- **hexchen ([@hexchen](https://github.com/hexchen), she/her)**
hexchen is working primarily on mantaining and extending the Lix project infrastructure.
- **Irenes ([@IreneKnapp](https://github.com/IreneKnapp), they/them)**
2024-04-28 21:41:07 +00:00
Irenes are an outside-context problem. They are fond of cats.

- **jade ([@lf-](https://github.com/lf-), they/them)**
jade is working on packaging, testing, infrastructure, tooling, review, stability, and a large amount of
the writing in Lix. They recently graduated from a Computer Engineering program at UBC in Canada.
- **Kate Temkin ([@ktemkin](https://github.com/ktemkin), she/her [singular] or they/them [plural])**
A performance art piece written live by a collective of hardware hackers & low-level engineers.
Kate works on Lix as part of a commitment to helping you do cool things, and is seriously considering
rewriting every bit of documentation ever to cross paths with Nix.

- **Lunaphied ([@Lunaphied](https://github.com/lunaphied), she/her [singular] or they/them [plural])**

When they're not working on Space Stuff, they consider doing the same for Nix regressions.

Build system experts who delve way, way too deep into tooling -- so you don't have to.
- **raito ([@RaitoBezarius](https://github.com/RaitoBezarius), he/they)**
Raito is working on nixpkgs packaging, infrastructure, and review in Lix.
They are a Tvix developer focusing on the store and the evaluator.

We all hang around in [community spaces](/community), including on Matrix. Feel free to pop into
the Lix channels and say hello -- we'd love to hear what you think of Lix!
## Conflict of Interest Statements
As a community project, it's important that project decisions are made **exclusively for the
benefit of the community**, and don't serve any other interests -- including personal or corporate gain.
If a team member is unable to do so in any context, they are **required** to disclose the _conflict of interest_
and to recuse themselves from any leadership decisions affected.
As transparency is important, we've included declarations from each core team member regarding any possible
conflicts of interest.
- **hexchen** <mark>TODO</mark>
- **Irenes** <mark>TODO</mark>
- **jade** <mark>TODO</mark>
- **Kate Temkin** is the CEO and one-third owner of **Tactile Metrology LLC (TMLLC)**, a company that currently
sponsors Lix development. TMLLC declares that it has no financial stake in the future of Lix or Nix,
no ties to the military-industrial-complex, and a strong commitment to avoiding such ties. TMLLC is
owned by individuals, and not VC investors. Kate accordingly declares she has **no conflicts of interest**
regarding governance of Lix.
- **Lunaphied** declare that they have **no conflicts of interest** regarding the governance of Lix.
- **pennae** <mark>TODO</mark>
- **puck** <mark>TODO</mark>
