|
**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!
|
|

## 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**
|
|
hexchen's employer and its sister companies use Nix/Lix internally and offer Nix-based consulting.
|
|
hexchen has no stake in the company, does not work in the consulting teams and there is no
|
|
expectation for her to contribute to Lix on company time. **Should a governance decision involving
|
|
these or any other financial ties arise, hexchen will recuse herself from decision-making.**
|
|
|
|
- **Irene Knapp** (they/them) is the technology director of Internet Safety Labs (ISL), a US-based 501(c)(3)
|
|
non-profit. To the best of Irene's knowledge, ISL has no financial involvement with any Lix or Nix
|
|
effort or organization, other than its own internal infrastructure.
|
|
Irene is also involved in an advisory capacity with the Coworker Solidarity Fund, a US-based 501(c)(4).
|
|
**Should a governance decision involving these or any other financial ties arise, Irene will recuse themselves
|
|
from decision-making.** Additionally, while the following does not fall within the scope of any reasonable
|
|
conflict of interest policy and is not within the scope of the recusal promise,
|
|
Irene chooses to affirm that they have many personal ties to trans, disabled and
|
|
neurodivergent tech workers, and are involved with providing and encouraging peer support to same.
|
|
Irene views the broader queer, disabled, and neurodivergent communities as the primary people to whom
|
|
they are responsible as an activist, regardless of whatever other affiliations they may have.
