ZAP Steering Committee

Timotej Ecimovic edited this page May 16, 2021 · 7 revisions

ZAP steering committee is a group of engineers that meet biweekly and discuss requirements and engineering plans for future features of ZAP tool. As ZAP is a tool used by multiple SDKs and applications, the effort for growing of ZAP needs to be coordinated across these multiple users, and the main purpose of the ZAP steering committee is exactly that.

Membership

Members of the steering committee at this point are not "elected" or decided in any formal matter. Until this becomes untenable, the steering committee members are simply people who participate on the biweekly steering committee meeting. Members of steering committee should at all points include all primary contributors to the project, so the nature of the committee is very technical and focuses mostly on technical issues.

Please contact Timotej Ecimovic if you are interested in participating.
