Application for moving levels from Sandbox to Incubation
Are there any sub-projects, plugins, and related?

Governance model
Our new governance model consists of a governing board of 2 maintainers, 2 end users, and 2 community users. End users represent people who actively use Pixie. The community users are active members of the Pixie community, but do not have maintainer responsibilities.
The goal of the governing board is to make decisions of the high level vision and direction of the project. For example, many users request to run Pixie in non-K8s environments, whereas Pixie's focus has always been on K8s.
Other governance duties, such as making decisions on architecture/design or pull requests falls to the maintainers of the project.
However, we would like to move away from the BDFL model now that we have matured. We would like to maintain the governance board, as we believe it is easier to make high-level decisions across a small group of people from different backgrounds.
Any specific aspects of your governance structure are you seeking feedback on?

Hi! I'll be reviewing this, but I will not be able to start until early June. If this review becomes the one thing holding up Incubation, please alert the TAG.
@jberkus when this is up for review a couple of considerations:
the governance was recently updated to move from BDFL model to a dual governance model
the new governance outlines two leadership groups, board and maintainers but does not articulate how these two groups work together or provide representation/feedback to one another

Governance Execution Examples
We have just recently changed to this new governance model, so do not yet have examples.
Governance Evolution
We originally open sourced Pixie under the BDFL model: https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie/blob/490e08266649267fd8ff34e27192e0da7e6f55c6/GOVERNANCE.md
However, we would like to move away from the BDFL model now that we have matured. We would like to maintain the governance board, as we believe it is easier to make high-level decisions across a small group of people from different backgrounds.
