These files are required as part of the incubation checklist, created them with the help of Claude agents and kept it high-level.

@nimbinatus could you please approve this again? After the meeting on Friday, I made a few changes. There are 2 open questions that will be addressed eventually.

Document bootc's release process, versioning strategy, and support
policies for CNCF incubation (Issue bootc-dev#36). Covers semantic versioning,
weekly release cadence, the automated release workflow, release assets,
GPG-signed tags, pre-releases, security releases, and stability
guarantees.

Reflects decisions from the August 2026 community meeting: releases are
tagged from main with no release branches or backporting, deprecations
are announced in minor releases, and feature releases use minor version
bumps. Support duration and the deprecation advance-notice window remain
open questions pending broader maintainer input.

Add ROADMAP.md following the containerd model, using GitHub issues as
the "what" and milestones as the "when" rather than a static list that
quickly goes stale. Includes bootc's strategic direction and guidance
on how the community can contribute to the roadmap (Issue bootc-dev#35).
