Committer Agreement

Participation in the Shibboleth Project as a Committer is subject to agreement with a set of general principles. While this agreement is not legally binding, it sets out the expectations to which the Consortium Board expects Committers on the project to adhere in return for their continued support of the project, and provides the Project Management Committee (PMC) a framework in which to judge the continued suitability of a Committer.

1. All Committers agree to participate in the project subject to the resolutions passed by the Consortium Board, and may choose to withdraw their participation in the event that resolutions are passed with which they do not agree. At the present time, this consists of the following:

5. Any work performed on behalf of the project will be done with full disclosure as to its purpose and its relevance to the Project Roadmap developed by the Committers and continually agreed to by the Consortium Board.
