Selenium Project Governance

- The Selenium Project wants as much as possible to operate using procedures that are fair, open, inviting, and ultimately - good for the community. For that reason, we find it valuable to codify some of the ways that the Project goes about its - day-to-day business. We want to make sure that no matter who you are, you have the opportunity to contribute to Selenium. - We want to make sure that no corporation can exert undue influence on the community or hold the Project hostage. And - likewise, we want to make sure that corporations which benefit from Selenium are also incentivized to give back. This - document describes how various types of contributors work within the Selenium project. + The Selenium Project is committed to maintaining fair, transparent, and inclusive governance practices that serve the broader + community's interests. This document establishes the foundational procedures and principles that guide our day-to-day operations + and decision-making processes.

+ +

+ Reciprocal Value +
We create structures that encourage organizations benefiting from Selenium to contribute back to the + project's sustainability and growth. +

+ +
This document outlines the roles, responsibilities, and processes that define how various + types of contributors work within the Selenium project. +
