Enterprise & Campus Governance

Source: docs/enterprise/governance.md
Generated: 01/09/2026

JoinGrove campus governance covers zero egress, telemetry transparency, open roadmap, and community advisory seats.

Key Concepts

  • What: Governance features let institutions audit network egress, control security modes, and participate in an open roadmap — not opaque enterprise sales gates.
  • Why: Universities and govtech labs require data sovereignty and transparent telemetry before deploying AI IDEs to students.
  • Related: Egress policy (egress.md), Global South overview (../global-south/overview.md), self-hosted campus (../self-hosted/campus.md).
