+ ### 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.
