Introduction

KubeVela project is initialized and maintained by the cloud native community since day 0 with bootstrapping contributors from 8+ different organizations. We intend for KubeVela to have an open governance since the very beginning and donate the project to neutral foundation as soon as it’s released.

To help us create a safe and positive community experience for all, we require all participants adhere to the CNCF Community Code of Conduct.

This document is a guide to help you through the process of contributing to KubeVela.

The Apache way says “Community Over Code”. Although KubeVela is a CNCF/Linux project, we possess a strong resonance to it. To second and stretch this merit deeper, we regard non-coding contribution as equally important with code contribution for the community’s very existence and its future growth.
