Descrizione

administration documentation OpsModel

The current Project lifecycle docs have guidelines for sandbox projects that are being developed within an existing OpenSSF WG, which mention that these projects should be hosted within the WG's Github organization.

The Problem

Based on feedback I've gotten from OpenSSF community members, there's a need for a space (i.e., GitHub organization) where early pre-sandbox projects can live while they mature enough to reach sandbox stage. This would enable community members to develop and collaborate on anticipated/future OpenSSF projects under the OpenSSF umbrella from the start.

A few reasons community members might want such a space:

  1. The project is in early prototype or pre-sandbox stages, and the most suitable host WG can't be identified yet.
  2. Even if a host WG has been identified, a tight coupling with the main WG repo may not always make sense. For example, high-turnover prototype development may pose an undue burden or cause permissioning issues on the main WG repo, especially if the project developers aren't the WG repo maintainers.
  3. The contributors are from different member OpenSSF member organizations. A dedicated OpenSSF GitHub organization avoids having to create random GitHub organizations for the project or hosting the project under one of the member orgs.
The Proposal

Establish an OpenSSF Labs GitHub organization that has a low barrier to entry while providing a clear pathway towards sandbox status under a WG. LF Hyperledger Labs may provide a good model for this.

The Challenges

We want to be careful not to create a way for this new GitHub organization to become a dumping ground for projects that are "being thrown over the fence". So, there must still be baseline requirements for applying for lab status and transitioning either to sandbox or archived status, in the event that the lab project gains traction or needs to be abandoned.

Checklist

Following the TAC's decision to support the creation of this new GH organization, we have the following outstanding tasks:

  • Document new lab proposal process (see: HL labs process)
  • Create proposal template (see HL labs template)
  • Decide if we should establish group of dedicated labs stewards, a group whose responsibility is to vet labs proposals
  • Create dedicated Github Org for labs projects
