Governance

Code of Conduct

Lima follows the CNCF Code of Conduct.

Maintainership

Lima is governed by Maintainers who are elected from active contributors.

As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, Lima will keep its vendor-neutrality.

Roles

Maintainers consist of two roles:

Committer (Full maintainership): Committers have full write accesses to repos under https://github.com/lima-vm. Committers’ commits should still be made via GitHub pull requests (except for urgent security fixes), and should not be pushed directly. Committers must enable 2FA for their GitHub accounts. Committers are also recognized as Maintainers in https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/project-maintainers-.project.csv.

Bugs and feature requests can be submitted via https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues.

For asking questions, use GitHub Discussions or Slack (#lima).

For reporting vulnerabilities, see https://github.com/lima-vm/.github/blob/main/SECURITY.md.

We’re glad to have you here, your contributions make Lima better!

Roadmap

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Instead of using a static text file, Lima uses the roadmap label on GitHub issues to designate features or bug fixes that we plan to implement.

Issues are tagged with the roadmap label when at least one maintainer or contributor has declared intent to work on or help with the implementation.

There are no commitments or timelines attached to the label, and the label may be removed again from an abandoned issue at any time.

Subprojects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Some portions of Lima are useful for other projects too and split out to separate repos:

https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet: vmnet.framework support for unmodified rootless QEMU
https://github.com/lima-vm/lima-actions: run Lima on GitHub Actions
https://github.com/lima-vm/go-qcow2reader: qcow2 reader for Go
https://github.com/lima-vm/sshocker: ssh + reverse sshfs + port forwarder, in Docker-like CLI (predecessor of Lima)
https://github.com/lima-vm/alpine-lima: Create an alpine based image for lima

See also https://github.com/lima-vm for other subprojects.

The maintainership of the subprojects corresponds to the maintainership of Lima itself.
