Short answer: with pull requests to the docker repository.
Short answer: with pull requests to the Docker repository.
Docker is an open-source project with an open design philosophy. This
means that the repository is the source of truth for EVERY aspect of the
project, including its philosophy, design, roadmap and APIs. *If it's
part of the project, it's in the repo. It's in the repo, it's part of

part of the project, it's in the repo. If it's in the repo, it's part of

As a result, all decisions can be expressed as changes to the
repository. An implementation change is a change to the source code. An
API change is a change to the API specification. A philosophy change is

yours truly, Solomon Hykes, in the role of BDFL. This means that all
