The key to building and running these communities is a well-chosen governance model. In this Birds of a Feather session, we examine the Apache Software Foundation as a governance model for open source scientific software communities. The BOF will discuss both general and specific governance requirements for research software communities through interactive discussions motivated by case study presentations. The outcome will be a summary white paper co-authored by BOF volunteers.
