| The Team | 2024-04-27 | Lix Team |
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.
