4.   Repository Layout

Unity Organization contains individual repositories designated to each distributed package. Central Unity repository references other repositories as sub-modules and hosts development environments for current and feature versions.

All repositories in the organization are open source.

5.   PR Plan

Unity will announce membership in the foundation. It should assure continuity and support for OSS.

6.   Infrastructure Requirements

I am working on converting CI/CD integration to Azure DevOps pipelines. Code signing certificate will be required to sign distributed packages

7.   Additional Notes

Unity Container organization is one of the oldest IoC implementations with 16+ distributed packages and total number of downloads in 60+ millions.

The project requires significant effort for modernization and could use any help it could get.

The main goal of joining the foundation is securing assistance in creating sustainable support from users and consumers of the project.

Hi @ENikS, thanks for your application. Can you please complete the remaining sections (all are required), and then we can take it to the advisory council and board? Happy to answer questions/clarify things as needed.

[ENikS]

@onovotny I need some help with PR part.

[ChrisSfanos]

CLA out for signing

[ENikS]

@ChrisSfanos @onovotny

The CLA you sent requires transfer of trademark (Exhibit A). I would like to keep the ownership and just license it. Could you please change it to Licensed Marks (Exhibit B)?

[ChrisSfanos]

I'll need @onovotny to sign off on that, and then I'll void the old document and resend

[ENikS]

Thank you

[clairernovotny]

I've reached out to our lawyer for input.

[ENikS]

@ChrisSfanos

Could you please delete old agreement, the one with transferred trademark? It floods my inbox with reminders.

@onovotny
Any word from your legal department?

[clairernovotny]

Will follow up, no word back yet from the lawyer.

[ChrisSfanos]

Done - voided the current agreement

[ChrisSfanos]

We will track the remaining onboarding work via this checklist:

Onboarding

• [x] Updating license/copyright in the repo + updating file headers
• [x] Reviewing the .NET Foundation Code of Conduct
• [x] Enable CLA automation for future contributors
• [x] Add Project to the .NET Foundation project list
• [x] Project layout cleanup (as appropriate)
• [x] README Guidance updates
• [x] Project website updates (outside of GitHub)

[ENikS]

I have a question:

I am planning to develop Unity full time. Obviously it would need to generate some kind of income for me to do so. Are there any restrictions on what I can and can't do?

[clairernovotny]

The eligibility criteria for member projects, new and ongoing, is listed here: https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects#eligibility-criteria

Beyond that, you can do whatever you want with it.

[ChrisSfanos]

I've updated the CLA and it's out for signing - please review/sign at your first opportunity so we can move forward with the onboarding

[ChrisSfanos]

CLA is signed. CLA bot config email sent

[ChrisSfanos]

CLA bot complete - post onboarding supplemental email sent

[ENikS]

Might take some time to complete the rest, trying to survive this new, glamorous virus

[ChrisSfanos]

Completely understand - I'll check in in about a week and see how it's going

[ChrisSfanos]

Hey @ENikS - just checking in - have you made any progress with the onboarding?

[ENikS]

Not much progress, sorry. Still don't feel too well.

[ChrisSfanos]

Hey @ENikS - hoping you are feeling better. Have you had an opportunity to make progress?

[ENikS]

I've completed the following:

• Joining the Project leader mailing list
• Joining the Project leader Slack channel
• Reviewing the .NET Foundation Code of Conduct
• Add Project to the .NET Foundation project list

I know CLA automation is now working as well.

[ENikS]

I've updated license in repositories and projects to be:

Copyright © .NET Foundation and Contributors. 
All Rights Reserved

I am not using file headers, is it absolutely necessary to add them?

[ChrisSfanos]

Thanks for the update @ENikS ! Looks like the README updates and the changes to the external website are all that is left to complete the on-board steps!

[ENikS]

Updated external site. (See footer)

[ChrisSfanos]

Verified - thanks!

[ENikS]

I've completed the rest of steps:

• Project layout cleanup (as appropriate)
• README Guidance updates

[ChrisSfanos]

Verified all item - marking this as closed - thanks!!

[ENikS]

So, what is happening now, once all the todos are done?

[ChrisSfanos]

The project has completed the full on-boarding to the .NET Foundation :-)

[ENikS]

Excellent!

@clairernovotny Now that the project is part of the Foundation, how would I apply for the certificate and other benefits we discussed earlier?

[ENikS]

@ChrisSfanos

I do not see myself (ENikS) as a member of foundation, am I not accepted?

[ChrisSfanos]

Actually I don't have any control over that - adding @clairernovotny for input

[ENikS]

@ChrisSfanos

I been trying to ask @clairernovotny questions above but she is filtering out this thread. Could you please contact her in some other way and bring this to her attention?

[clairernovotny]

Sorry, not intentionally filtering anything, just get a lot of GitHub notifications and it's easy to miss them. The membership committee takes care of member related things, did you submit an application to be a member? I can follow up with the committee in that case, they're usually pretty fast about processing things.

[ENikS]

@clairernovotny

I was under assumption that being part of foundation automatically makes me a member. Could you please point me to the relevant info how to apply?

In emails with Oren Novotny we discussed certain benefits the project could apply for. This was the original motivation to became a member of the foundation. Could you provide me with some info on what could be done in this regard?

[clairernovotny]

There's a form to fill out here: https://dotnetfoundation.org/member/become-a-member to become a member. Onboarding a project doesn't automatically make its maintainers members (two different systems/processes), but all maintainers automatically qualify. Just put it in the notes section of the form.
