Open Project Rules - OASIS Open oasis-open.org OASIS 13 facts

claimAny person, regardless of OASIS membership status, may participate in an Open Project as a Contributor by submitting comments or bug reports to a Project Repository.

perspectiveOASIS warrants that it will not inhibit open and free access to all material contributed to each Project Repository, though this warranty does not obligate OASIS to maintain its own existence, provide for the perpetual existence of a website, or maintain material it is legally required to remove.

procedureOASIS requires that notices of the Applicable License for each Project Repository be conspicuously visible from both the repository's contribution channels and its home resource pages.

procedureThe Project Governing Board (PGB) is responsible for selecting and replacing Chairs, ensuring there are one or more Maintainers for any Project Repository, consulting with Maintainers on technical decisions, establishing and consulting with Technical Steering Committees (TSC), and approving Draft Project Specifications, Project Specifications, Candidates for OASIS Standards, or external submissions.

claimNon-executable content in an OASIS Open Project Specification, such as guidance, descriptions, processes, or system models, must be composed only of contributions previously made to a Project Repository.

claimAny product of an OASIS Open Project composed from contributions to the Project Repositories is eligible for approval as an official Release.

procedureAn Open Project Charter must specify the number of initial Project Repositories and the Applicable License for each repository.

procedureContributions and the merger of contributions into an OASIS Open Project's work are managed primarily through one or more open source Project Repositories.

procedureIn the OASIS Open Project process, when the Project Governing Board (PGB) or a consensus of contributors identifies a set of contributions as a Release, Group Release, Draft Project Specification, or Project Specification, the Maintainers must organize the material in the Project Repository as a distinct branch known as a Designated Branch.

claimProject Specifications in OASIS Open may carry multiple Applicable Licenses if they are composed of Releases or Group Releases sourced from multiple Project Repositories that have different licenses.

claimOASIS staff support official Project Repositories using selected tools and open the repositories listed in the Project Charter upon the project's launch.

procedureSubsequent Project Repositories within an OASIS Open Project may be opened by a decision of the Project Governing Board (PGB), or if the PGB elects to adopt a Standing Rule that permits it, by a Technical Steering Committee (TSC) or a designated maintainer.

referenceMaintainers serve as the principal editors of a project's technical work, with responsibilities including evaluating pull requests, designating main or recommended branches, and marking deprecated branches or contributions.
