2026-10-24 Participants and access – who proposes and approves (provisional)
Decision
For the time being, the following applies to who can be part of the GitHub organisation samt-x:
- Anyone can propose new participants.
- The core team approves new participants and removes those who are no longer part of the work. Anyone in the core team can do this.
- The owners of the organisation are referred to by role, not by name, on the public site. Members can see the names in GitHub.
The arrangement is provisional.
Background
Until now, access has been granted as needed, without anything written down about who can propose or approve new participants. The core team now has a member list that is checked against GitHub, and that calls for a clear arrangement for who decides.
Further work
A shared overview of roles and tasks in the governance and administration of the ecosystem is to be put in place. For now we assume that SAMT-BU is one such ecosystem, but the term needs a closer definition. The work is followed up in samt-bu-architecture#34. Once the overview exists, it replaces this arrangement.
