Project Governance​

Geode is an Apache Software Foundation (ASF) project. As such, the Geode community strives to work according to the Apache Way, and we adhere to the ASF's code of conduct.

Committee​

Governing every ASF project is a Project Management Committee (PMC). Members of Geode's PMC oversee project development and releases. Additionally, Geode committers help maintain the codebase. See Geode's committee roster for a complete list of participants.

Board minutes​

The ASF board regularly reports on Geode project status at board meetings. Review these reports in the meeting notes.
