+# DevStream PMC Guide
+
+## The DevStream PMC
+
+The DevStream project management committee (PMC) is a committee with responsibility and governance for DevStream's top-level projects.
+
+While committers on the project can update the code, only the PMC has the authority to vote on formal releases of the project's software. 
+
+The PMC is also responsible for voting in new committers and PMC members to the project.
+
+## PMC Chair
+
+Every PMC has a Chairperson, and so does DevStream PMC. The Chair is the interface of the project.
+
+The term period of the PMC Chair is one year (maximum). The same person can take the Chair position multiple terms in a row. PMC members can ask for a vote before the end of the term period, and the Chair can quit the position voluntarily.
+
+If the PMC wishes to change the Chair, a vote should be held, or a consensus should be reached within the PMC about who the new Chair should be.
+
+If the Chair candidate has more than half of the votes, they become the new Chair.
+
+## PMC Member
+
+A PMC member is a committer who was elected due to merit for the evolution of the project.
+
+They have write access to the code repository, the right to vote on community-related decisions, and the right to propose other active contributors as committers.
+
+The PMC is the entity that controls the project, nobody else. In particular, the PMC must vote to approve any formal release of their project's software products.
+
+## Standards
+
+All PMC members, including the Chair, should participate actively in discussions related to the DevStream project and make non-code contributions such as PR/marketing for the project, community building, and documentation/blog.
+
+Optional conditions are as follows:
+
+- give at least one public DevStream-related talk/speech at conferences, or publish more than 5 DevStream-related blogs;
+- no less than 100 commits or no less than 10,000 lines of code to the DevStream main project;
+- familiar with the market positioning, short/long term roadmap, and core module logic;
+- lead the implementation of DevStream in your own team/company.
+
+## Add a PMC Member
+
+Adding a PMC member requires sending a notice to the PMC of the vote to add someone. The PMC Chair or any other PMC member can send this notification.
+
+Since the PMC isn't a big organization, the nominated candidate must be voted in favor by all current PMC members.
+
+To formally add the candidate to the PMC, the PMC Chair needs to invite the new PMC member formally.
