The CEA is a collection of working groups for important Ceramic-related topics. CEA working groups often deliver CIPs.
The CEA IS a grassroots network of Ceramic collaborators. It was created as a way for community members to self-organize into working groups to collaboratively discuss important topics related to Ceramic (such as governance, standards, use cases). To join, follow these steps.
The CEA IS NOT a replacement for Ceramic Core Calls, including Core Community Calls where the broader community convenes to learn more about Ceramic, and Core Devs Calls where Ceramic developers discuss network upgrades. The CEA also is not a replacement for CIPs the process by which the community formally proposes standards or improvements to Ceramic. Rather, the CEA serves as a focused vehicle for interested parties to zoom in on important issues, organize into topic-based working groups, and share outcomes amongst the group. A working group will often produce one or more CIPs.
The CEA has three levels of participant structure:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Members | All participants. Expected to participate in working groups. |
| Working Groups | Collections of members tackling specific areas of interest, such as Ceramic governance or identity. |
| Stewards | Members that run CEA meetings (not working group meetings) and ensure overall integrity of process. |
The entire CEA gathers every six weeks for a meeting (attendance is optional). In this meeting, members:
- Share progress from existing working groups
- Propose the creation of new working groups
Since CEA meetings are primarily built around sharing progress from working groups, at least 1 member from each active working group is expected to attend.
CEA members self-organize into topic-based working groups. Individual working groups create their own charter, decide their own meeting schedule, and communicate in their own designated channel in the Ceramic discord server. Typically, working groups meet frequently enough to share out at the next CEA meeting (currently every 6 weeks). Use the CEA meetings notes template to take good meeting notes to keep the rest of the CEA aligned.
| Working Group | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
Ceramic Governance |
Active | See charter. |
Identity |
Active | See charter. |
Two working groups will kick off soon: Multichain and Data Interoperability.
- Join the CEA.
- Create a charter for your working group.
- Submit a Pull Request to the CEA repository adding your working group and charter. (See here for examples.)
- Propose your working group at the next CEA meeting. If approved, your PR will be merged, you will get a designated channel in the Ceramic discord, and your working group meeting schedule (specified in the charter) will be added to the CEA calendar.
- Recruit participants for your working group.
