Why stakeholders and contributors can trust StratoWeave's open governance and help shape the platform.
Governance for a durable open collaboration
StratoWeave is an open-source platform released under the BSD 3-Clause License, with governance designed to support operators, vendors, integrators, and individual contributors on equal terms. StratoWeave is a Linux Foundation project, with a neutral home, transparent decision making, and a clear path for the project to grow with the community.
What operators and partners can expect
When you adopt, evaluate, or support StratoWeave, you should expect a project that is governed in the open and built to earn trust. That means:
- a vendor-neutral platform with transparent decision making
- project assets and community infrastructure managed for the benefit of the community
- straightforward open-source licensing and contributor terms
- technical direction developed in public, not behind closed doors
- a collaboration model that welcomes participation from across the ecosystem
Those are not abstract ideals. They are the operating conditions that make a network orchestration platform credible for long-term use. They reduce adoption risk, increase contributor confidence, and make it easier for organizations to invest time, code, integration work, and operational experience into the project.
What contributors can expect
If you want to contribute to StratoWeave, you should expect a project that is worth contributing to.
That means you can work in the open, see how decisions are made, and help shape the technical direction through real participation. It also means your work can land in a platform that is intended to serve a broad community, not a narrow internal use case.
We want contributors building reusable models, transforms, adapters, reference deployments, operational patterns, documentation, and learning material. We want operators sharing real deployment needs. We want ecosystem partners bringing integrations and implementation experience. And we want individual developers to know that strong technical work can have lasting impact here.
