I'm chewing on some ideas on maintainership culture for OSS projects and how it relates to a projects health and long-term viability.<p>My thought is that one can extrapolate a lot about a project from particular discussions. However, my exposure to OSS is quite limited to the projects close to me.<p>Can anyone share canonical public discussions that demonstrate project values and culture? Perhaps that would belong in Erdos's "book" for that project or those that you find yourself referring back to.
A mature open source project may be governed under an open source foundation which usually gives it a charter <a href="https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/charter.md#3-values">https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/charter.md#3-va...</a><p>... and/or set of values: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/community/values/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/community/values/</a><p>There's also a lot of open source guides here <a href="https://todogroup.org/resources/guides/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://todogroup.org/resources/guides/</a> that may help you if you're looking at building mature open source projects.
