[PROJECT ONBOARDING] Devfile

[amye]

Welcome to CNCF Project Onboarding!
This is an issue created to help onboard your project into the CNCF after the TOC has voted to accept your project.
We would like to complete onboarding within one month of acceptance.

From the project side, please ensure that you:

• Understand the project proposal process and reqs: https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/project_proposals.adoc#introduction
• Understand the services available for your project at CNCF https://www.cncf.io/services-for-projects/
• Ensure your project meets the CNCF IP Policy: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/charter.md#11-ip-policy
• Review the online programs guidelines: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/online-programs-guidelines.md
• Understand the trademark guidelines: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/trademark-usage/
• Understand the license allowlist: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/allowed-third-party-license-policy.md#approved-licenses-for-allowlist
• Is your project working on written, open governance? see https://contribute.cncf.io/maintainers/governance/
• Slack: Are your slack channels migrated to the Kubernetes or CNCF Slack? (see https://slack.com/help/articles/217872578-Import-data-from-one-Slack-workspace-to-another for more details)
• Is your project in its own separate neutral github organization?
• Submitted a Pull request to add your project as a sandbox project to https://landscape.cncf.io
• Create maintainer list + add to aggregated https://maintainers.cncf.io list by submitting a PR to it
• Have added your project to https://github.com/cncf/contribute
• Artwork: Submit a pull request to https://github.com/cncf/artwork with your artwork
• Transfer your domain(s) to the CNCF if they exist. The "LF Stakeholder email" is projects@cncf.io. The "Project" is CNCF.

Things that CNCF will need from the project:

• Provide emails for the maintainers added to https://maintainers.cncf.io in order to get access to the maintainers mailing list and ServiceDesk
• Transfer any trademark and logo assets to the Linux Foundation via the Contribution Agreement.
• GitHub: ensure 'thelinuxfoundation' and 'caniszczyk' are added as initial org owners, this helps us make sure we have continuity of GH ownership
• GitHub: ensure DCO or CLA are enabled for all GitHub repositories of the project
• GitHub: ensure that hat the CNCF Code of Conduct (or your adopted version of it) are explicitly referenced at the project's README on GitHub
• Website: ensure LF footer is there and website guidelines followed (if your project doesn't have a dedicated website, please adopt those guidelines to the README file of your project on GitHub).
• Website: Analytics transferred to projects@cncf.io
• CII: Start on a CII best practices badge https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en

Things that the CNCF will do or help the project to do:

• Devstats: add to devstats https://devstats.cncf.io/
• Insights: add to LFX Insights https://insights.v3.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/
• Marketing: update relevant intro + slide decks
• Events: update CFP + Registration + CFP Area forms
• ServiceDesk: confirm maintainers have read https://www.cncf.io/services-for-projects/
• CNCF Welcome Email Sent to confirm maintainer list access, welcome email has monthly project sync details
• Create space for meetings/events on https://community.cncf.io, e.g., https://community.cncf.io/pravega-community/ - (https://github.com/cncf/communitygroups/blob/main/README.md#cncf-projects)
• Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk
• Add project's groups.io maintainer list to maintainers@cncf.io

Thank you @amye. We will work on that list in the coming days.

[amye]

Excellent! One of the biggest helps for us is getting that maintainers file in (and getting me emails for you all!)

[elsony]

Created and migrated to the "devfile" slack channel (https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C02SX9E5B55) in the Kubernetes workspace.

DevStats page added.

@l0rd - checking in here, anything you need our help with?

[l0rd]

@amye yes I have one question about maintainers: is there a limit on the number of maintainers? What does the maintainer role entail? How is it related to GitHub repositories privileges?

So the projects can determine who their maintainers are and submit a PR to maintainers.cncf.io. For us, this limits who has access to the maintainers mailing list and Servicedesk.
