+Generally speaking we try to follow the [Lazy Concensus](http://lazyconcens.us/) model of development to keep the builds healthy and ourselves happy. 
+   - If you're looking for concensus to make a decision post an issue for feedback and remember to account for timezones and weekends/holidays/work time. 
+   - We want people to be opinionated in their builds so we're more of a loose confederation of repos than a top-down org.
+   - Try not to merge your own stuff, ask for a review. At some point when we have enough reviewers we'll be turning on branch protection.
