Stage 2: Growth Stage
Stage 3 Projects also requested to complete this section
Stage 2 Criteria (from the PLD) | Meets / Needs Improvement / Missing / Not Applicable | Supporting Data (if needed, include links to specific examples) |
|---|---|---|
Development of a growth plan (to include both roadmap of projected feature sets as well as overall community growth/project maturity), to be done in conjunction with their project mentor(s) at the TAC. | Meets | |
Document that it is being used in POCs. | Meets | Project EVE has been used in various POCs and is in production use. Some production users have made it public that they are using Project EVE as can be seen in https://zededa.com/resources/case-studies/ (Switch Automation, PV Hardware, BOBST, PeopleFlow) while others have presented at https://zededa.com/transform/ (VMware, Emerson, Rockwell Automation, SLB) In addition there is production use by a top-3 automobile manufacturer at car dealers. |
Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions. | Meets | Over the last 10 months we have had 950 commits from 56 contributors across 10 repositories Note that 10 months ago we introduce the eve-kernel repository which is a clone of the Linux kernel with complete git history. LFX Insights picks that up. One can look at less confusing data individually for the other repositories e.g., the main EVE repo. |
Demonstrate that the current level of community participation is sufficient to meet the goals outlined in the growth plan. | Meets | The above level of commits are likely to continue as we continue deliver the items on the roadmap and grow the TSC and committers. |
Demonstrate evidence of, or a plan for, interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects). | Meets | Work with FDO and OpenHorizon to demo a combined EVE, FDO, and OpenHorizon at One Summit 2024 in San Jose. In addition work with other LF projects like CNCF SPOS WG and Margo. Plus separate work to enable the LF Edge Sandbox. |

Stage 3: Impact Stage
Criteria | Meets / Needs Improvement / Missing / Not Applicable | Supporting Data (if needed, include links to specific examples) |
|---|---|---|
Have a defined governing body of at least 5 or more members (owners and core maintainers), of which no more than 1/3 is affiliated with the same employer. In the case there are 5 governing members, 2 may be from the same employer. | TBD | TSC is currently at 3 members across 3 companies |
Have a documented and publicly accessible description of the project's governance, decision-making, and release processes. | Meets | TSC and committer election process, and release process https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md |
Have a healthy number of committers from at least two organizations. A committer is defined as someone with the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept contributions to some or all of the project. | Meets | Currently 4 committers across 3 origanizations |
Demonstrate evidence of interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects). | Meets | See above evidence under stage 2 |
Adopt the Foundation Code of Conduct. | Meets | |
Explicitly define a project governance and committer process. This is preferably laid out in a GOVERNANCE.md file and references a CONTRIBUTING.md and OWNERS.md file showing the current and emeritus committers. | Meets | TSC and committer election process, https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md Owners in https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md |
Have a public list of project adopters for at least the primary repo (e.g., ADOPTERS.md or logos on the project website). | TBD | Need to get agreement to publish names |
