Technical Projects
Technical Projects are approved by TAC Members per the project lifecycle guidelines. You can learn more about hosting projects at LF Energy and how to propose a project for inclusion as an LF Energy Technical Project here.
Each of the LF Energy projects are open to participation by anyone subject to the governance each project has adopted. If you are looking for a way to contribute to a project, many LF Energy projects maintain a list of issues that are suited for first-time contributors on CLOTributor.
Working groups may be formed by the TAC to focus on specific areas of technical interest or need within LF Energy. They report to the TAC which remains responsible for any formal decisions or voting matters.
Below are the project and working groups supported by the TAC, listed by project stage
