Notes:

• governance/assessments/projects/flatcar/2023-08-15.md is the report path.
• Since these reports might be referenced in other reports (future governance review reports, due diligence, etc), we might want to take our time and think if this is a good directory structure and a file name. Changing later might result in broken links.

Approved by me, now it goes to our TOC liaisons

@t-lo this is still a draft, but there's one must-fix in it, so I wanted you to see it as soon as possible so that you can create a couple PRs.

The following repos do not have a code of conduct; please refer to the reasoning as to why. Please provide guidance on whether we should add a code of conduct nonetheless.

• https://github.com/flatcar/reports: repository only contains auto-generated content (package freshness stats for Flatcar vs. Gentoo)
• https://github.com/flatcar/.github: repository contains github organisation specific settings and defaults, like e.g. templates
• https://github.com/flatcar/gentoo: mirror / development copy of Gentoo Linux' upstream repo used to upstream patches to Gentoo. Not used in Flatcar directly.
• https://github.com/flatcar/ignition - mirror of upstream https://github.com/coreos/ignition used for patch development before upstreaming. Not used in Flatcar directly.
• https://github.com/flatcar/jitsi-server: infrastructure automation; used to deploy https://meet.flatcar.org
• https://github.com/flatcar/grub: mirror / development copy of grub's upstream repo used to develop and to upstream patches to Grub

@aliok @jberkus PRs for adding the CNCF code of conduct created and merged, thanks again for the ping! And huge thanks to @miao0miao, @tormath1 and @invidian for helping with the reviews!

Ali, Josh, could you please give feedback to the exceptions listed above? imho it doesn't make much sense to add a code of conduct there for the reasons stated.

[aliok]

@t-lo I am going to update the report based on your changes, before it gets merged.

[t-lo]

Thank you Ali, that's awesome!

[t-lo]

Please note that I'll be off for the next 3 weeks but @miao0miao and @vbatts will be around as points of contact for this time - please do not hesitate to involve them if you have any questions or concerns.
