Manifesto Compliance Plan

Values

Open Governance

- We plan to perform discussion via GitLab tickets and kde-devel chatroom.

Free Software

- HomebrewKDE is licensed under BSD 2-Clause License. But due to fact that project is written mostly in special Ruby DSL, which is interpreter-based language, it's hard to imagine that someone even think about making closed source binary based on it.

- HomebrewKDE started migration to KDE's GitLab here: https://invent.kde.org/ykolesnykov/homebrew-kde, need to port more recent commits.

Inclusivity

- Anyone is free to contribute, and anyone can use it.

Innovation

- KDE is still new and very experimental on Mac systems and it provides an easy install process for Mac users. More technical part of Mac users is already have Homebrew installed, which is one best package managers for Mac.

Common Ownership

- Anyone can help out, anyone can contribute, report bugs, active contributors may request write rights.

End-User Focus

- HomebrewKDE tries to make enrollment to it and installation of KDE software as easy as possible and automates all hard routine work under the hood.
