## The Substrait Project

The Substrait project consists of the code and repositories that reside in the [substrait-io GitHub organization](https://github.com/substrait-io), the [Substrait.io website](https://substrait.io), the [Substrait mailing list](https://groups.google.com/g/substrait), MS-hosted teams community calls and the [Substrait Slack workspace]({{versions.slackinvitelink}}). (All are open to everyone and recordings/transcripts are made where technology supports it.)

### Contributors

A contributor is a user who contributes to the project in the form of code or documentation. They take extra steps to participate in the project (loosely defined as the set of repositories under the github substrait-io organization) , are active on the developer mailing list, participate in discussions, and provide patches, documentation, suggestions, and criticism.

They take extra steps to participate in the project (loosely defined as the set of repositories under the github substrait-io organization), are active on the developer mailing list, participate in discussions, and provide patches, documentation, suggestions, and criticism.

Contributors may be given write access to specific `-contrib` repositories by an SMC consensus vote per repository. The vote should be open for a week to allow adequate time for other SMC members to voice any concerns prior to providing write access.

### Committer

A committer is a developer who has write access to the code repositories and has a signed [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)](https://cla-assistant.io/substrait-io/substrait) on file. Not needing to depend on other people to make patches to the code or documentation, they are actually making short-term decisions for the project. The SMC can (even tacitly) agree and approve the changes into permanency, or they can reject them. Remember that the SMC makes the decisions, not the individual committers.

### SMC Member

A SMC member is a committer who was elected due to merit for the evolution of the project. They have write access to the code repository, the right to cast binding votes on all proposals on community-related decisions,the right to propose other active contributors for committership, and the right to invite active committers to the SMC. The SMC as a whole is the entity that controls the project, nobody else. They are responsible for the continued shaping of this governance model.
