This working group builds off the foundation established by the Project Framework WG. |
{% hint style="info" %} This WG falls under the Open Source Committee {% endhint %}
Establish a clear and efficient process for nurturing and advancing open source projects, ensuring they align with organizational goals and contribute meaningfully to the broader community. This initiative aims to foster a collaborative environment, provide necessary resources, and guide projects toward sustained growth and impact in the open source landscape.
The initial output should be as minimal as possible, but should cover:
- Develop a comprehensive document outlining the step-by-step process for incubating open source projects within the organization. This document should include criteria for project selection, guidelines for community engagement, and a roadmap for project advancement.
Since this is a working group, we should end up with an actual artifact representing our first policy draft.
Items to Note: Projects that are incubating have less policies to follow, more mature projects have more items to adopt
This working group has oversight by the Open Source Committee.
- Project Maintainers

- Initiate Stakeholder Engagement:
- Identify and reach out to project maintainers, developers, and other relevant stakeholders. Schedule meetings or workshops to gather input on incubation process requirements.
Incubator Process: Apache has a well-established Incubator project that serves as a gateway for new projects to enter the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The incubation process involves thorough examination of the project's code, community, and governance.
