Jenkins Governance Meeting

This site is the new docs site currently being tested. For the actual docs in use please go to https://www.jenkins.io/doc.

As per the Jenkins Governance Document, the community holds a regular governance meeting. This meeting is used to make decisions about the project: budget approvals, key decisions sign-off, voting on proposals if there is no consensus, etc. It is open for everyone to participate and vote. The topics are usually discussed in the developer mailing list ahead of the meeting, so contributors can share their feedback and cast votes asynchronously.

This meeting is rarely used for technical decisions, for that purpose we use the developer mailing list and Jenkins Enhancement Proposals. If a decision cannot be made at the governance meeting, the project’s governance board takes priority.

How to join the meetings?

The governance meeting commonly happens every two weeks on Mondays, see the event calendar for exact times and subscription. We hold the meeting as a recorded video call. The meetings calendar with links is available here.

How to propose a topic?

  1. Start a discussion with your proposal in the developer mailing list

  2. Wait for initial feedback in the mailing list. If there is a strong consensus among community members and no formal approval needed, the mailing list thread might be enough.

  3. Suggest a change to the agenda document linked below.
