### 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.
