Description

There have been some formalizations with governance for projects in the OpenSSF.
I think these are all for the better, but if you have a concern, PLEASE let me know soon! I plan to wait for 1 month (2024-03-12) before starting down this path.

Here is the full documents

LLC Series. LF Legal would like this project to become a "series" within "LF Projects, LLC". This creates a legal identity for the project & provides various legal protections. We hope to not need legal protections, but it's best to have them. To do that, the TSCs to be listed on the project page on who is in the TSC.
The TSC then needs to vote on the
Technical Charter Draft.

Make sure the mission is accurate.

Choose a delegate to sign the
Contribution Agreement Draft

Then the LF will submit the
Series Agreement Draft on your behalf.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
