Community
The standard belongs to everyone who adopts it.
POSS is developed in the open and governed by its community. Here is where the work happens — and how to take part.
GitHub
The specification, the reference implementations, and the proposal process. Everything is developed here, in the open.

Announced soonHow to contribute
Three ways to take part.
Improve the standard
Propose a principle, sharpen a verification method, or argue one should change. The reasoning is recorded with the decision.
Build reference software
Contribute to AERIE or build your own POSS-compliant project and help define what compliance looks like in practice.
Help others comply
Document patterns, review self-assessments, and lower the bar for the next project to adopt POSS.
All community spaces operate under a code of conduct. Disagreement is welcome; bad faith is not. The goal is a standard that earns trust — that starts with how we treat each other.
