Project Truck Factor and Governance

We recognize that the Truck Factor of the Varnish Cache project is low.

As mitigation we have created a Varnish Governance Board (VGB) and implemented procedures so no project asset have a Truck Factor less than 3.

The Varnish Governance Board is the ultimate authority in the project, but does little to nothing on a daily basis.

The important thing is that there is agreement beforehand about who has the authority to step in, if need be.

Appointment to the VGB is by acclamation, and we prefer the members to have enough distance and neutrality to be able to resolve conflicts, should it ever become necessary.

Current members of the VGB:

• Rogier Mulhuijzen

• Lasse Karstensen

• Poul-Henning Kamp
