+Welcome to the TorchGeo Hugging Face community!
+
+TorchGeo uses Hugging Face to redistribute many of its datasets and model weights, providing fast, reliable, and reproducible downloads.
+
+# Adding new datasets/models
+
+If you would like to redistribute a new dataset/model via this community, it must satisfy [a couple criteria](https://github.com/torchgeo/governance/blob/main/CHARTER.md#8-project-criteria):
+
+* Must be under an open source license. This excludes source available licenses like CC-BY-NC or OpenRAIL.
+* Must be under a license that allows redistribution. We can't redistribute your dataset/model unless the authors give us permission.
+
+Priority is given to datasets/models with existing or work-in-progress TorchGeo data loaders/models, but all datasets/models are welcome if they satisfy these criteria.
+
+If your dataset/model follows these criteria, please follow the following steps:
+
+1. Upload the dataset/model to your own Hugging Face account.
+2. Make sure you clearly document the license, where the dataset/model came from, and any changes you made.
+3. Join the `#technical-steering-committee` channel of the [TorchGeo Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/torchgeo/shared_invite/zt-22rse667m-eqtCeNW0yI000Tl4B~2PIw).
+4. Post your request to onboard a new dataset/model. Provide a link to where the original license can be found.
+5. The [TSC](https://github.com/torchgeo/governance/blob/main/STEERING-COMMITTEE.md) will then vote to onboard your dataset/model. A simple majority vote is required.
+6. If the vote passes, we will contact you with instructions to transfer your repository to our community.
+
+If you are unable or unwilling to use Slack, you can also post a request on https://github.com/torchgeo/torchgeo/discussions.
+
+# Updating existing datasets/models
+
+If you would like to make changes to an existing dataset/model (including one you recently added), please open a [pull request](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/repositories-pull-requests-discussions) for the specific repository. You may also need to contact someone on the [TSC](https://github.com/torchgeo/governance/blob/main/STEERING-COMMITTEE.md) on GitHub or Slack, as we may not immediately see your pull request on Hugging Face.
