Creating the framework to power the Internet of Things is only possible with contributions across industries. The work done by the AllJoyn® community (and the Technical Steering Group) is organized by area. Working Groups are the coordinating organizations for each major work area. They are responsible for aligning the work of the each group's projects, focused on specific technical deliverables.
The Alliance's Working Groups and Projects are meritocratic and follow open source best practices to produce code within the scope of the policies set by the Technical Steering Committee. Projects are proposed to and approved by the Technical Steering Committee. Every project has one or more committers. These project committers make decisions within the Working Group, and elect the Working Group Chair as a leader to represent the Working Group on the Technical Steering Committee.
