Invitation to Participate in Open Source Governance Survey and Policy Specification

[Adem AIT-MIMOUNE FONOLLA]

Dear Container Storage Interface team,

 

My name is Adem Ait, and I’m a PhD student at the University of Luxembourg. My research focuses on governance policies in open-source software development, especially when AI agents can contribute and participate in governance decision-making.

 

We’re currently analyzing governance practices across a range of open-source projects. Since you help maintain container-storage-interface/community project that includes a governance.md file, we would like to invite you to complete a short survey about your project’s governance model.

     - Survey (≈10 minutes): https://forms.gle/1emCAk5wUXH3anZM6

We would also like to invite you to test our web editor to formalize your governance policies and, potentially, enabling their automatic enforcement.

 

     - Web editor: https://besser-pearl.github.io/GovernanceDSL/

 

Of course, we would be more than happy to make you a demo of the editor and/or explain more in detail our research ideas on this topic. For additional background, you can also check our published work at: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.14465

 

Participation is voluntary. Responses will be kept confidential and used only for research purposes. If you have any questions about the study, I’d be happy to help.

Please note that, due to the survey's anonymous nature, we are unable to identify who has already responded. Therefore, we plan to send a reminder email in approximately two weeks. If you have already completed the survey or do not wish to participate, please reply to this email so we can exclude you from future reminders.

Thank you in advance for your time,

Best regards,

Adem Ait
