The governance framework defines roles including Contributors, Committers, Mentors, and Project Leads, along with a Technical Steering Committee and Vulnerability Group. The initial Steering Committee includes AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle. The announcement follows a year of increased transparency efforts including public roadmap discussions, Early Access releases, and GitHub-based collaboration.

Upcoming community events include a public discussion on July 15 and a Contributor Summit on August 5–6 in Broomfield, Colorado. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
