+## Request of Commit (RFC)
+
+With the release of [Polkadot runtime 1.0](./polkadot-v1.md), Polkadot's codebase is in the hands of
+the community. Anyone can open a
+[Request For Commit (RFC)](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs) to propose and discuss changes
+to the network protocol, runtime logic, and public interfaces, and other technical matters.
+
+To submit an RFC, follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs#process).
+
+RFCs can only be approved and merged by III-Dan members of
+[Polkadot Technical Fellowship](../learn/learn-polkadot-opengov.md#the-technical-fellowship) via
+on-chain voting mechanism. Definitive approval or rejection is done by issuing the
+`RFC_APPROVE(xxxx, h)` or `RFC_REJECT(xxxx, h)` on-chain remark from the Fellowship origin on the
+Polkadot Collectives parachain, where `xxxx` is the RFC number and `h` is the hash of the raw
+proposal text.
+
+For example, the first RFC [RFC-1](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/1) about Agile
+Coretime was proposed by Gavin Wood on the 30th of June 2023 and merged on the 12th of August 2023.
+Subsequently, the
+[code for the Agile Coretime Broker pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14568) was
+added to the Substrate FRAME system.

+The [Polkadot Software Development Kit (SDK)](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk) includes
+all the tools needed to build on the Polkadot ecosystem. The main repositories include:
+
+- Implementation of a node for the Polkadot network in Rust, using the Substrate framework
+- The [Substrate SDK](https://substrate.io/)
+- [Cumulus - Parachain Development Kit](../build/build-parachains.md#cumulus)
+
+The programming language used for development is [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
