**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!

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.
