167+ ### How things get done in the Node.js project
168+
169+ #### Goal
170+
171+ Help people understand that no people are paid to answer their issues or
172+ implement their pull requests. Things get done based on what volunteers work on
173+ and the best way to get something fixed/changed is to submit a Pull request.
174+
175+ Some of the things to highlight include:
176+
177+ * Nobody is paid specifically to answer issues or implement features.
178+ * No company owns/supports Node.js. Most contributions are from individuals
179+ as opposed to organizations.
180+ * The governance of the project is specifically designed to prevent one or
181+ a small number of companies from dominating the project.
182+ * Decisions are made by the active collaborators, there is no single person
183+ who makes a decision for the project on their own. This can slow down
184+ decision making but most often results in better outcomes.
185+ * The project is open and receptive to contributions. If you need something PR
186+ in a fix or feature.
187+ * Maintainers are people just like you, with many priorities and and goals. We
188+ all have the same goal of moving the Node.js project forward but at the same
189+ time we all have other responsibilities that affect how much time we have
190+ available to do so.
191+ * People are volunteering their time to review your PRs and answer questions in
192+ the issues you open. Be mindfull of your asks for their time and acknowledge
193+ the gift of their time.
194+ * While volunteers work to do the right thing for the community, the project
195+ does not owe anybody anything and does not tolerate abusive or
196+ demanding language in issues, discussionis or PRs. A respectful diaglog will
197+ maximize the chances of the outcome you desire.
198+ * If you depend on timely support or an SLA, contract with a company that provides
199+ paid support and will prioritize your issues.
