Hi everyone, As you may know, a sub group of the OSF Board of Directors has recently kicked off an effort to draft guidelines on how to confirm OSF pilot projects as full, top-level, open infrastructure projects of the Foundation. The current pilot projects that will be eligible for confirmation review in 2019-2020 are Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX and Zuul. Currently the OpenStack project is the only confirmed project. The discussion about drafting these guidelines is just getting started, but everyone can participate in this effort by reviewing the context and working draft on this etherpad and adding feedback and thoughts at the bottom: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BrainstormingOSFProjectConfirmationGuidelin... There will most likely be some open call scheduled in early 2019 where additional feedback will also be gathered. The goal is to come up with a set of points that the Board can use when reviewing pilot projects for confirmation. This topic has previously been discussed at a very high-level at previous Board meetings, including the September 18th meeting[1] (starting around slide 38).
