## Community Standards
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As part of our responsibility to community, we are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment
|
|
|
|
|
in which our community can create great things together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, we've developed a set of [community standards](/community-standards), which all contributors
|
|
|
|
|
are expected to follow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Governance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're currently in the process of establishing a more full-fledged governance model, which we believe must
|
|
|
|
|
be built on engagement with -- and feedback from -- our community. In the interim, decisions are made by
|
|
|
|
|
simple voting, with one vote held by each member of the "[core team](/team)", who are acting as interim
|
|
|
|
|
governance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Engaging with the Community
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best way to engage with the community currently is to **join our Matrix space** -- a decentralized
|
|
|
|
|
chat platform commonly used among open-source projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Lix Matrix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Joining is relatively straightforward -- you can find us on the `lix.systems` Matrix server.
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to connect with us is to join our [Matrix space](https://matrix.to/#/#space:lix.systems),
|
|
|
|
|
which will allow you to see previews of and join the most relevant community rooms.
|
|
