Roles

The SatNOGS project embodies a non-hierarchical approach to project management and development, aligning with self-management principles where volunteers and contributors constantly assume and drop roles and responsibilities based on their interests, skills, and the needs of the project.

Contributors to the SatNOGS project choose their own roles not by assignment, but by aligning their skills, experience, and interests with the tasks that need to be accomplished.

These roles may be limited by time or specific tasks and cease to exist when they are no longer necessary.

Current roles

The table below lists the currently active roles within the SatNOGS project, with each contributor individually maintaining their respective entries.
