perspective Charter

perspective is a data visualization and analytics component, especially well-suited for large and/or streaming datasets.

Section 0: Guiding Principles

The perspective project is part of the OpenJS Foundation, which operates transparently, openly, collaboratively, and ethically. Project proposals, timelines, and status must not merely be open, but also easily visible to outsiders.

Section 1: Scope

perspective is a data visualization component, any features related to data visualization on any platform are potentially in scope.

Section 2: Relationship with OpenJS Foundation CPC.

Technical leadership for the projects within the OpenJS Foundation is delegated to the projects through their project charters by the OpenJS Foundation Cross-Project Council (CPC). In the case of the perspective project, it is delegated to the perspective Maintainers (the “Maintainers”). The OpenJS Foundation's business leadership is the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

This perspective Charter reflects a carefully constructed balanced role for the Maintainers and the CPC in the governance of the OpenJS Foundation. The charter amendment process is for the Maintainers to propose changes using simple majority of the full Maintainers, the proposed changes being subject to review and approval by the CPC. The CPC may additionally make amendments to the project charter at any time, though the CPC will not interfere with day-to-day discussions, votes or meetings of the Maintainers.

  • Contributors: contribute code or other artifacts, but do not have the right to commit to the codebase. Contributors work with the project’s maintainers to have code committed to the code base. A Contributor may be promoted to a Maintainer by the Maintainers. Contributors should rarely be encumbered by the Maintainers and never by the CPC or OpenJS Foundation Board.

  • Maintainers: Contributors with any kind of decision-making authority in the project.
