orville-wright commented 4 months ago

The CNCF Sandbox and Incubation application forms are live GitHub Webform.

Incubation is here: (TBD)

We should familiarize ourselves with it and begin preparing & collecting data to fil in each field.

SANDBOX CNCF TOC provided guidance as to how they will review Sandbox applications. See it here: https://github.com/cncf/sandbox#how-applications-are-reviewed

The current CNCF Sandbox Application GitHub Project Board is here: https://github.com/orgs/cncf/projects/14

As of today, there are 54 projects in the queue. I have started doing some analysis on them.

11 projects are currently in HOLD status

These projects have been given explicit feedback by TOC as to why they have not been APPROVED

5 have been postponed and asked to reapply in 6 ~ 12 months
5 have been DECLINED and REJECTED
1 has been advised to MERGE with a CNCF project and become a sub-project of the parent
The above 11 project experienced an average waiting time of 4 months from making the application to getting an Decision

25 new Projects (separate to the ones on HOLD) have passed through the entire process in 2023 / 2024

Maintainers decided that we will apply into the SANDBOX level.

We received advise from Chris A (CNCF) that we are permitted to re-apply as Incubation level. We are now considering this option.
