Roles and Responsibilities
Membership in the CST is open to anyone, although we do ask people to commit to being actively involved in discussions and projects that support the community. Joining the calls and taking part in discussions there is one way to do that. If you can't make the calls, taking part in discussions on the community-team mailing list is another way to participate. We also ask that you identify your interest in any of the ongoing projects the group is working on and pitch in to help move that project forward. These meetings are an open forum, so you may also suggest and drive all new projects that you think the group should be focusing on.
