Same doubts as https://github.com/cncf/sandbox/issues/164, can you guide me?

[amye]

Biggest next thing: getting emails to us so that we can add you to the maintainers email lists and servicedesk Domains: You can set me as the LF contact, amye@linuxfoundation.org is fine

@amye Maintainers' email list is here: https://github.com/merbridge/merbridge/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md Is this ok?

[kebe7jun]

@amye is this ok?

[kebe7jun]

@amye My side of things should be almost finished, how can I cooperate with you next?

[Xunzhuo]

Hey @amye:

Can I get some help to reinvite me for timeout expired?

[amye]

Hey @amye:

Taken care of! cncf-maintainer-changes@cncf.io is a good email to use for this!

[amye]

Ah, I see this: Trademarks: transfer any trademark and logo mark assets over to the LF -https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements

You'll want to use the 'nonregistered trademarks' if you haven't filed.

Hi, @amye sorry to bother you, but now that Merbridge has applied for a trademark in China and has obtained it, how do we fill out the trademark agreement and get it to you?

I'm sorry I didn't find similar instructions for the process.

Oh cool! We've got a registered trademark agreement in that folder! How neat!

[kebe7jun]

Hi @amye , trademark transfer agreement has sent to you~

Marking trademarks off, one thing that would be helpful: Provide emails for the maintainers added to https://maintainers.cncf.io/ in order to get access to the maintainers mailing list and ServiceDesk

Hi @kebe7jun ! My name is Crystal and I am the new project coordinator in charge of onboarding sandbox projects!

Have you and your team had the chance to review/complete any tasks? There are only a few left to go and I would be more than happy to help in any way I can! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi @Cmierly ,

Thank you very much for helping us complete the remaining tasks.

For Ensure your project meets the CNCF IP Policy, I believe we have already done it. I don't know why it hasn't been completed? For Domain: transfer domain to the CNCF, I have already transferred the domain to CNCF. For Adopt a license scanning tool, we have added: https://app.fossa.com/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fmerbridge%2Fmerbridge?ref=badge_shield

Merbridge progress has slowed considerably since going into the sandbox, with the last commit registered at https://landscape.cncf.io/?selected=merbridge&item=orchestration-management--service-mesh--merbridge in October 2023.

Most of the tasks I have completed, can you guide me through what needs to be done next? Thanks.

[amye]

I see slack as currently outstanding, I see governance, I can check on if we've got your emails (I'm pretty sure we do), and do you have any analytics?

[kebe7jun]

slack channel https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C04GGRWLDLG The email address has already been sent in October 2023.

Hi @kebe7jun ! Can you confirm if your project is working on open governance? We will also need any website analytics you might have! After those two are complete we can finish up your onboarding task!

[windsonsea]

Hi @Cmierly, just wanted to confirm the remaining two tasks:

• [x] Is your project working on written, open governance? see https://contribute.cncf.io/maintainers/governance/ Yes, Merbridge has its open governance policy now.
• [ ] Website: Analytics transferred to projects@cncf.io merbridge.io does not currently have any analytics in place.

[Cmierly]

Thank you for the update, @windsonsea ! Merbridge is now done with onboarding! Congratulations!
