About zowe/community

Zowe Community is a hub repository that organizes governance, contribution guidelines, and community activities for the Zowe open-source project. The repository itself doesn't contain the main Zowe codebase but rather serves as a central reference for navigating the community structure, including documentation about how to contribute, report issues, and participate in discussions across the various Zowe sub-projects and squads.

The community operates through multiple communication channels including Slack, mailing lists, and forums, with dedicated channels for different sub-projects like the API Mediation Layer, CLI, Explorer for VS Code, Python Client SDK, and Mobile components. The repository houses contribution guidelines that outline pull request requirements, code style standards, and the approval process needed for merging changes. It also provides information about the Technical Steering Committee and Zowe Advisory Council, which guide project governance.

Security and community integrity are prioritized through documented reporting procedures and licensing guidelines. The project maintains a community calendar with open meetings, regular developer discussions, and onboarding resources for new contributors. All code contributions must adhere to established standards and pass smoke tests before maintainer approval, with clear communication expected about testing procedures and any dependencies between pull requests.
