MVG - Minimum Viable Governance for Your Organization’s Open Collaboration Needs
summary
MVG provides a ready-made governance agreement stored in an organization repo, signed with public signatories, to solve the one plus n problem when projects gain co-maintainers. It defines a steering committee, consensus-first decision making with vote fallback, a trademark policy preventing firms from trading on project goodwill, an antitrust reminder, the Contributor Covenant code of conduct, and project-selection criteria. The template is live in beta on GitHub with a blog post and issue tracker for feedback.
