Purpose of This Issue

This Project Health Issue has been filed to ascertain the current activity and health of the project so the TOC may identify the appropriate support and guidance for the project to return to an optimal state of health or determination of archival.

It is intended to initiate a public discussion to seek understanding and define a path forward. Perceptions or commentary counter to this are not constructive for the project or the community.

Should maintainers have sensitive, confidential, or private factors and concerns that influence or affect the project, they are encouraged to contact the TOC or TOC Staff directly via Slack, or email.

Project On-boarding issue

https://github.com/cncf/sandbox/issues/408

Concern

This sandbox project has been in the onboarding process for 10+ months and is approaching the automatic archival deadline. The project has not completed the required onboarding tasks within the expected timeframe.

Potential Indicators:

  • Lack of active maintainer engagement
  • Insufficient resources to complete onboarding requirements
  • Project may no longer be actively maintained
  • Need for additional support or guidance from CNCF staff

Timeline:

  • Current Status: 10+ months in onboarding process
  • Archival Deadline: 12 months from onboarding issue creation
  • Time Remaining: ~2 month(s)

Onboarding Issue: #408

Automated Detection: This health issue was automatically created by the CNCF onboarding progress monitoring system when the project reached the 10-month milestone, as part of proactive intervention before automatic archival.

Recent Activity:
Please review the onboarding issue for the current status of completion checklist items and any recent maintainer updates.

Prior engagement

This is an automated health check triggered by the onboarding progress monitoring system.

Prior to this health issue:

  • 3 months: Automated reminder with onboarding/incomplete label
  • 6 months: Automated alert with onboarding/stale label + TOC/projects team notification
  • 9 months: Automated warning with onboarding/warning label + TOC/projects team notification
  • 10 months: This health issue created with onboarding/approaching-archival label

No direct TOC engagement has been initiated for this specific onboarding delay beyond automated monitoring.

Additional Information

About the Automated Monitor:

The CNCF onboarding progress monitor automatically tracks sandbox project onboarding progress and creates health issues for projects that have been in the onboarding process for 10+ months. This ensures timely TOC awareness and intervention opportunity before automatic archival occurs at the 12-month mark.

Suggested Next Steps for TOC:

  1. Review the onboarding issue to assess current completion status
  2. Contact project maintainers to understand any blockers or challenges
  3. Determine if the project requires additional CNCF staff support
  4. Evaluate if a deadline extension is warranted based on circumstances
  5. Provide specific guidance for completing remaining onboarding tasks
  6. Assess project's continued alignment with sandbox requirements

Automated Actions Already Taken:

  • Progressive labels applied at 3, 6, 9, and 10-month milestones
  • Automated comments with reminders at each milestone
  • TOC/projects team tagged at 6 and 9-month marks
  • Weekly warnings scheduled to begin at 11 months
  • Daily warnings scheduled for the final week before archival

If No Action Taken:

  • 11 months: Weekly warnings will be posted (weeks 1-3), then daily warnings (week 4)
  • 12 months: Project will be automatically archived, onboarding issue closed, and this health issue updated

This health issue was automatically created by the CNCF Sandbox Onboarding Progress Monitor. For questions about this automation, please contact CNCF staff or open an issue in the sandbox repository.
