### How things get done in the Node.js project
170+
171+
#### Goal
172+
173+
Help people understand that no people are paid to answer their issues or
174+
implement their pull requests. Things get done based on what volunteers work on
175+
and the best way to get something fixed/changed is to submit a Pull request.
176+
177+
Some of the things to highlight include:
178+
179+
* Nobody is paid specifically to answer issues or implement features.
180+
* No company owns/supports Node.js. Most contributions are from individuals
181+
as opposed to organizations.
182+
* The governance of the project is specifically designed to prevent one or
183+
a small number of companies from dominating the project.
184+
* Decisions are made by the active collaborators, there is no single person
185+
who makes a decision for the project on their own. This can slow down
186+
decision making but most often results in better outcomes.
187+
* The project is open and receptive to contributions. If you need something PR
188+
in a fix or feature.
189+
* Maintainers are people just like you, with many priorities and and goals. We
190+
all have the same goal of moving the Node.js project forward but at the same
191+
time we all have other responsibilities that affect how much time we have
192+
available to do so.
193+
* People are volunteering their time to review your PRs and answer questions in
194+
the issues you open. Be mindfull of your asks for their time and acknowledge
195+
the gift of their time.
196+
* While volunteers work to do the right thing for the community, the project
197+
does not owe anybody anything and does not tolerate abusive or
198+
demanding language in issues, discussionis or PRs. A respectful diaglog will
199+
maximize the chances of the outcome you desire.
200+
* If you depend on timely support or an SLA, contract with a company that provides
201+
paid support and will prioritize your issues.
