Abstract
The BigCode Governance Card serves as an overview of the different mechanisms and areas of governance in the BigCode project. It aims to support transparency by providing relevant information about choices that were made during the project to the broader public, and to serve as an example of intentional governance of an open research project that future endeavors can leverage to shape their own approach.
The first section, Project Structure, covers the project organization, its stated goals and values, its internal decision processes, and its funding and resources.
The second section, Data and Model Governance, covers decisions relating to the questions of data subject consent, privacy, and model release.
