# Our pledge to the open source community
|
|
|
|
Kong Gateway is not only an awesome open source project, but also part
|
|
of the product offering of Kong Inc. We have a large team of product
|
|
people, software developers, testers and release engineers working on
|
|
Kong Gateway. We make many of the enhancements to Kong Gateway in the
|
|
Community Edition, so our open source community directly benefits from
|
|
the commercial work that we do.
|
|
|
|
Recognizing that we operate as a commercial entity, we face the
|
|
challenge of balancing our commercial interests with the desire to
|
|
accommodate and support open source users and contributors
|
|
effectively.
|
|
|
|
## Response time to GitHub issues and pull requests
|
|
|
|
In the Kong Gateway team, we're committed to maintaining a rapid and
|
|
timely response to community contributions, promising to acknowledge
|
|
and engage within a dedicated timeframe of 10 working days. It is
|
|
important to note, however, that while we strive to be as responsive
|
|
as possible, we may not always be able to offer immediate solutions to
|
|
every reported problem or incorporate every submitted pull request
|
|
into the product.
|
|
|
|
## Maintaining an active working set
|
|
|
|
We will be closing pull requests or issue reports when we made the
|
|
decision that we will not be able to merge or resolve them in the
|
|
foreseeable future. We do that in the interest of keeping our working
|
|
set manageable, as accumulating pull requests and issues which don't
|
|
make progress does not help improving Kong Gateway in the long run.
|
|
|
|
We automatically close issues and pull requests for which we do not
|
|
get responses to our questions or update requests within 3 weeks.
