Technical Committee

The Kratos Technical Committee (TC) is the maximum technical organism of the Kratos project. It either acts on its own initiative or by request of any developer to help on the solution of technical issues or eventually in decision conflicts. The committee will attempt to find a consensus between the developers. In the case in which such a consensus cannot be reached, will ultimately take decisions. The TC will act whenever possible through online communication mechanisms, actively participating in discussions in which it is directly mentioned. Meetings, either in person or virtual will be organized as-needed. The committee has the following composition:

• 2 native members
• 3 elected members
• Industry financed members

Native members

The 2 native members are Pooyan Dadvand and Riccardo Rossi due to their long experience since the beginning of the project. This will help the stability and maintain the accumulated experience in the committee. This status will hold as long as they are actively contributing to the project. In case one of the native chairs leaves the position, a new elected member will take his place.

Elected members

The 3 elected members will be renewed every 2 years. Candidates eligible for these chairs should have been responsible of an application which has been active more than one year in the repository.
