Overview

These are groups used by the Carbon Language project, listed here for central tracking. Membership will typically be managed by a team owner or admin; see each group's summary for information on how to join.

Note that some links are admin or member restricted. We're providing public links where possible.

Linked entities

Groups are defined by their linked entities in Carbon's various forums:

• GitHub teams: Used primarily for GitHub ACLs.
  • GitHub organization members: This should only contain people in teams.
• Discord roles: Used to identify team members on Discord, and for ACLs.
• Google groups: Used for a mix of contact lists and ACLs.

Carbon leads

See governance structure for team information.

• GitHub teams: Leads
• Discord roles: lead

Conduct team

• GitHub teams: None

• Google groups: conduct@carbon-lang.dev Used as a contact list.

Moderators

Admins

Maintains infrastructure. Membership changes are handled on an as-needed basis by leads.

Note that while various groups exist, the way admins are actually configured goes a little beyond this.

• Github teams: Admins
  • Canonically, the role:owner search.
• Discord roles: admin
• Google groups: admins: Used for carbon-lang.dev security settings.

Implementation team

This team is responsible for development of Carbon's primary, reference implementation and toolchain. It also oversees other related implementation work within the Carbon project, from tooling of the language spec to test suites. There may be some overlap with admins -- any issue can be resolved by escalating to the Carbon leads. Notably, this team is not responsible for the design of the language itself, only for its implementation.

• Discord role: implementation-team
• Google groups: None

Security
