[PROJECT ONBOARDING] Kubeflow

[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:

• [x] Understand the project proposal process and reqs: https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/project_proposals.md#introduction
• [x] Understand the services available for your project at CNCF https://www.cncf.io/services-for-projects/
• [x] Ensure your project meets the CNCF IP Policy: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/charter.md#11-ip-policy
• [x] Review the online programs guidelines: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/online-programs-guidelines.md
• [x] Understand the trademark guidelines: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/trademark-usage
• [x] Understand the license allowlist: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/allowed-third-party-license-policy.md#approved-licenses-for-allowlist
• [x] Is your project working on written, open governance? see https://contribute.cncf.io/maintainers/governance/
• [x] 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)
• [x] Is your project in its own separate neutral github organization?
• [x] Submitted a Pull request to add your project as a sandbox project to https://landscape.cncf.io

• [x] Artwork: Submit a pull request to https://github.com/cncf/artwork with your artwork
• [x] Domain: transfer domain to the CNCF - https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/theme/portal/2/create/63

Things that CNCF will need from the project:

• [x] Provide emails for the maintainers added to https://maintainers.cncf.io in order to get access to the maintainers mailing list and ServiceDesk - project-onboarding@cncf.io is the best email to send those to
• [x] Trademarks: transfer any trademark and logo mark assets over to the LF - https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements
• [x] GitHub: ensure 'thelinuxfoundation' and 'caniszczyk' are added as initial org owners, this helps us make sure we have continuity of GH ownership that we will onboard to our GitHub Enterprise instance: https://github.com/enterprises/cncf
• [x] GitHub: ensure DCO or CLA are enabled for all GitHub repositories of the project
• [x] GitHub: ensure that that the CNCF Code of Conduct (or your adopted version of it) are explicitly referenced at the project's README on GitHub
• [x] 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).
• [x] Website: Analytics transferred to projects@cncf.io
• [x] OpenSSF Best Practices Badge: Start on an OpenSSF Best Practices Badge https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en

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

• [x] Devstats: add to devstats https://devstats.cncf.io/
• [x] Insights: add to LFX Insights https://insights.v3.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/
• [x] Marketing: update relevant intro + slide decks
• [x] Events: update CFP + Registration + CFP Area forms

• [x] CNCF Welcome Email Sent to confirm maintainer list access
• [x] Book time with the team with http://project-meetings.cncf.io
• [x] Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk

As indicated in https://github.com/kubeflow/community/issues/688#issuecomment-1942096483, Kubeflow Steering Committee has decided to migrate to CNCF Slack. We can mark this item as finished. And there is no need to export Slack data to CNCF Slack at this point.

• [x] Slack: Are your slack channels migrated to the Kubernetes or CNCF Slack?

[zijianjoy]

Update on OpenSSF Best Practices Badge: I am able to get access to the kubeflow badge entry and I have run a pass on the questionnaire: https://www.bestpractices.dev/en/projects/2660.

• [x] OpenSSF Best Practices Badge: Start on an OpenSSF Best Practices Badge

GitHub: ensure DCO or CLA are enabled for all GitHub repositories of the project

@zijianjoy The KSC also decided to use DCO going forward so can we disable CLA check and enable DCO App at org level going forward.

Thanks, I have enabled DCO in kubeflow repos. I will give it a few days to test it out that DCO is being enforced across Kubeflow and people are able to develop using the new approach. Then we will decide on when to disable CLA.

[zijianjoy]

@zijianjoy I've updated the checklist and it should be accurate as of today!

[rimolive]

I believe this item is done.

 Insights: add to LFX Insights https://insights.v3.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/

Based on the following: https://insights.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/foundation/cncf/overview?project=kubeflow

[krook]

@rimolive Thank you. I marked the Insights task complete.

[krook]

FYI, details on Insights now that you're onboarded.

• Insights documentation
• Insights support
• Insights feedback

[krook]

@rimolive @zijianjoy @terrytangyuan,

It looks like we're very close to closing out this checklist. The remaining items are:

• [ ] Domain: transfer domain to the CNCF - https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/theme/portal/2/create/63
• [ ] Book time with the team with http://project-meetings.cncf.io
• [ ] Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk

The first one should be straightforward. You can use projects@cncf.io as the "LF Stakeholder email".

The second one is completely optional but let us know if you want to hop on Zoom to answer any other questions. @castrojo is already available to attend your meeting on Jul 19 to discuss CNCF resources available.

The third @RobertKielty can help you with.

[zijianjoy]

Hello @krook , thank you for following up on this issue.

Regarding transfer domain to the CNCF: I have created https://cncfservicedesk.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/CNCFSD-2127 and is currently pending for Shah Ahmadzai to share an update.

Regarding license scanning tool, KFP (Kubeflow Pipelines) is currently using the following tools for scanning license:

• Frontend: We are using yarn license and license-checker: https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/blob/master/frontend/gen_licenses.js
• Backend: We are using https://github.com/google/go-licenses for license scanning.

[RobertKielty]

There is a Kubeflow Team is now on FOSSA.

Two registered maintainers and one additional contributor have sucessfully accepted invites to join the CNCF Organizaion on FOSSA and I have addedm them to the team as Team Admins.

The maintainers are @rimolive @StefanoFioravanzo @tarilabs has also been added as a Team Admin.

[tarilabs]

Not sure if applicable, but I'd also wire the loop here, we need to find the owner of the "Main" Kubeflow YouTube channel, as the KF community currently can only manage the "community channel (ex-kubeflow dojo)"

Does it make sense to add more people?

[tarilabs]

Does it make sense to add more people?

yes, as was also called out here:

If you are a Kubeflow member reading this issue and you need to be added in the FOSSA tool, you can reach out to myself, @rimolive and @terrytangyuan to be added in the existing group, or ask a SC representative to manage the service desk request for you/your KF project.

You can let me know your FOSSA login, happy to add you to the FOSSA team mentioned in https://github.com/cncf/sandbox/issues/196 Please note I cannot invite for a FOSSA login (that is CNCF Service Desk ticket, for which KF SC representative can manage for you) but happy to do the chore work on the FOSSA side.

@RobertKielty @tarilabs I seem to be on the CNCF FOSSA, but I'm not in the kubeflow team.

Domain: transfer domain to the CNCF - https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/theme/portal/2/create/63

Update: Google has completed domain transfer to CNCF, Rudy Grigar on the CNCF side has confirmed that the transfer is successful.

I believe we can mark this issue as completed. Truly appreciate everyone on contributing their effort to make this happen!

@zijianjoy who then has DNS access to update the domain now?

[Cmierly]

With the domain transfer complete, Kubeflow has now completed Onboarding! Congrats!

[terrytangyuan]

Thank you everyone for helping with this! Truly a team effort!

[thesuperzapper]

@Cmierly just to clarify, we have some DNS changes that we actually need on kubeflow.org, is this now only possible by CNCF staff?
