FATE is an inclusive and open community. This repository stores the documentation related to the activities of the FATE community. It serves as a place for community members to collaborate together.
FATE is an open source project hosted by Linux Foundation. The Technical Charter sets forth the responsibilities and procedures for technical contribution to, and oversight of, the FATE (“Federated AI Technology Enabler”) Project. GOVERNANCE.md defines the governance model of the project.
The Technical Steering Committee (the “TSC”) is responsible for all technical oversight of the FATE open source project. The TSC consists of the TSC Board and the TSC Maintainers. The roles and resposibilites of the TSC Board and the TSC Maintainers are documented in the Technical Charter.
Under the leadership of the TSC, the Development Committee sets up democratic, open and public processes for the community to collaboratively develop the project. The Development Committee forms a few Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to discuss, review and determine the strategies of topics in a specific domain, such as security, interoperability and architecture design.
The TSC Board, TSC Maintainers and Development Committee meet regularly mostly through online meetings. The meeting minutes can be found here.
The Security Response Committee (SRC) follows the disclosure and response policies formulated in the Security Release Process to ensure that key security concerns and issues are addressed promptly and responsibly.
Community members who have security concerns should follow the Security Release Process to report their issues to the SRC for verification and obtain any remediation measures if needed.
The FATE project strives to abide by generally accepted best practices in open source software development. The maintainers of the FATE project welcome the contribution from the community. If you are interested in contributing to repositories or projects of the Federated AI organization, please refer to the guidelines in the document CONTRIBUTING.md about how to make contribution.
