Let's move the community docs to a dedicated repository.

Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file outlining the process for submitting pull requests,
coordination with maintainers, and expectations for contributions.

Include guidance on writing effective commit messages, applying license headers,
and signing off contributions to ensure clarity and compliance in the project's
collaboration workflow.

Summary of Changes

Hello @bergwolf, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've initiated the foundational setup for community documentation by adding key files that will guide contributions, define project governance, and establish a code of conduct. This effort aims to create a clear and structured environment for the ModelPack/ModelSpec project, ensuring transparency and fostering a healthy community from the outset.

Highlights

  • Contribution Guidelines: I've added CONTRIBUTING.md to provide comprehensive guidelines for external contributions, covering successful change processes, commit message standards, license header requirements, and the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).
  • Project Governance: I've introduced GOVERNANCE.md to define the project's operational structure, including core values, maintainer responsibilities, the process for becoming or removing a maintainer, and details on project meetings.
  • Code of Conduct: I've included code-of-conduct.md to formally adopt the CNCF Code of Conduct, ensuring a respectful and inclusive environment for all participants.

Code Review

This pull request sets up the initial community documentation, including contributing guidelines, project governance, and a code of conduct. The documents are comprehensive and provide a good foundation for the project. My review includes several suggestions to improve clarity and consistency, particularly regarding the project's name, meeting schedules, and general wording in the markdown files. Addressing these points will help ensure the documentation is clear and professional for new contributors.

This sentence has a minor typo and an awkward line break. 'environments' should be singular, and the sentence would read better on a single line.

The text for this table of contents entry, 'Code of Conduct Enforcement', doesn't exactly match the corresponding section heading, which is 'Code of Conduct'. For consistency and accurate navigation, it's better if they match.

These notes, this will need quantifying eventually, appear to be internal placeholders. For a public-facing governance document, it's best to remove them. If the criteria are meant to be flexible, the document can state that they are at the discretion of the Maintainer Council.

The 'ET' timezone is ambiguous because it doesn't account for Daylight Saving Time. This can lead to confusion. It's best practice to use a specific timezone identifier like 'America/New_York' or a UTC offset. Since the meeting details below use UTC, it would be best to be consistent and use UTC here as well.

The phrase 'Every second Thursday' can be ambiguous. It could mean the second Thursday of the month, or every other Thursday. Given the 'bi-weekly' description above, using 'Bi-weekly on Thursdays' or 'Every other Thursday' would be clearer.

Suggested change
**Every second Thursday @ 14:00 - 15:00**

# CNCF ModelPack Community Code of Conduct

The CNCF ModelPack Specification project follows the [CNCF Code of Conduct](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md).

There appears to be an inconsistency in the project name used across the documentation. This file uses 'CNCF ModelPack Specification project', CONTRIBUTING.md uses 'ModelPack project', and GOVERNANCE.md uses 'ModelSpec project'. It would be beneficial to standardize on a single, consistent name throughout all project documents to ensure clarity.

Add a GOVERNANCE.md outlining the ModelSpec project's governance structure, values,
maintainer roles and responsibilities, meeting schedules, and code of conduct enforcement.

The zoom meeting info is also updated to use the LFX one.
