This repository describes the Drupal community's governance process, structure, and policies. If you're interested in specific issues regarding governance, take a look in the

Values and Principles
The Drupal Values and Principles describe the culture and behaviors expected of members of the Drupal community to uphold. These principles inform how technical and non-technical decisions are made, in addition to how contributors and leaders can support both our community and the project.

Governance structure
We have a number of working groups related to various aspects of the community:
Drupal core
, the
Security Working Group
, the
Technical Working Group
, and the
Documentation Working Group
, with the Project Lead as the final decision-maker:

A --> C(Security Working Group)
A --> D(Technical Working Group)
A --> E(Documentation Working Group)
In the case of certain aspects of the community that fall under the Drupal Association's mission, however, it makes sense for this final decision-maker to be the Drupal Association, since they are ultimately responsible for the website, events, legal matters, etc. These include the
Community Working Group
, the
Drupal.org Content Working Group
, the
Drupal.org Infrastructure Working Group
, the
Drupal.org Software Working Group
, the
Event Organizers Working Group
and the
Licensing Working Group
