Projects under the MapLibre umbrella are run by a meritocratic governance model. The overall governance across the projects starts with a lazy/self-elected board and will be replaced by a board elected by contributors. Deadline for implementing the electoral process is the Foss4G conference 2022 (the timespan before this deadline is referred to as the “initial phase”).
