Dear fellow OSS WG participants, following up on my talk today, I'm sending here the BCP draft for further discussion.
Open-source projects SHOULD publish their contribution and credits policy and be open about how (and if) people can contribute. Open-source project maintainers SHOULD adhere to the published policy and update it when circumstances change.
To create such a policy, maintainers can use a [policy guide](https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/policy_guide.md) as a starting point. Maintainers are advised to be as open and friendly as they can.
For reference, you can also [replay my talk](https://ripe88.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/) or [see RIPE 87 OSS WG session](https://ripe87.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/). And here are some previous relevant threads in this list: - [first draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2023-December/000218.h...) - [second draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-January/000236.ht...) - [article at LWN](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-May/000270.html) And that's probably all information you may need for context so please comment and roast this BCP draft.
