• Transfer any trademark and logo assets over to the LF - https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements

• Start on an OpenSSF Best Practices Badge https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en

Things that the CNCF will do or help the project to do:

• Add your project to DevStats https://devstats.cncf.io/
• Add your project to LFX Insights https://insights.v3.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/. This is a read-only app added to the GitHub organization once your project is in the CNCF GitHub Enterprise account and we add thelinuxfoundation as an organization owner.
• Update relevant marketing intros and slide decks
• Update event call for papers, registration, and CFP area forms
• Confirm maintainers have read about what's available through the Service Desk https://www.cncf.io/services-for-projects/
• CNCF sends a welcome email to confirm maintainer list access

• Create space for meetings/events on https://community.cncf.io, e.g., https://community.cncf.io/pravega-community/ - (https://github.com/cncf/communitygroups/blob/main/README.md#cncf-projects)
• Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk

https://github.com/connectrpc has been invited to the CNCF GHE. Once the invite is accepted and onboarded, we can then add thelinuxfoundation id as an org Owner and begin the LFX Insights onboarding step.

[idvoretskyi]

@akshayjshah there are multiple items remaining to complete the onboarding process. Anything we can help you with?

@akshayjshah there are multiple items remaining to complete the onboarding process. Anything we can help you with?

Apologies! Nothing except finding me a time-turner :) We'll get on this right away - @bufdev, @perezd, and I are picking up various pieces of this. We'll coordinate here with any questions.

Your Slack channels are migrated to the Kubernetes or CNCF Slack workspace. See https://slack.com/help/articles/217872578-Import-data-from-one-Slack-workspace-to-another for more details)

We've got a #connectrpc channel in the CNCF Slack, but it's currently private. Can an admin make it public?

I can do that. Just invite me to it.

[krook]

Connect is now in GHE with thelinuxfoundation as an owner, and it's onboarded to Insights.

[perezd]

Pending this pull request, I have completed all tasks up to the sandbox maintainers PR which I've filed here: cncf/foundation#801

One exception, working on getting SVG artwork for landscape, that task is still outstanding.

[perezd]

OK I have 3 PRs out to various onboarding tasks ready for review and submission.

[perezd]

We've added an explicit link to the CNCF code of conduct to our project README.md: https://github.com/connectrpc/.github/blob/main/profile/README.md

[perezd]

@krook do you have a CLA application we should install into our org?

[krook]

@perezd We highly recommend just using the DCO and bot instead of a CLA.

[perezd]

@perezd We highly recommend just using the DCO and bot instead of a CLA.

Great! We've installed the DCO app into the repo. Thanks for the feedback!

[perezd]

We've...

• Added and deployed the LF footer on our homepage: https://connectrpc.com/
• Added OpenSSF badge to connect-go: https://github.com/connectrpc/connect-go
• Added the CNCF CoC to our repo README: https://github.com/connectrpc?view_as=public

[perezd]

Provide emails for the maintainers added to https://maintainers.cncf.io/ in order to get access to the maintainers mailing list and Service Desk - [email protected] is the best email to send those to

[RobertKielty]

I have sent out invites to join FOSSA to @eseay @akshayjshah @emcfarlane @jhump @mattrobenolt @rebello95 @bufdev @pkwarren @smaye81 @timostamm @srikrsna-buf

When the invites are accepted I will add the maintainers as new CNCF FOSSA users to the Connect team there.

[RobertKielty]

I have sent out CNCF Snyk invites to @eseay @akshayjshah @emcfarlane @jhump @mattrobenolt @rebello95 @bufdev @pkwarren @smaye81 @timostamm @srikrsna-buf to join the Connect Org I setup on Snyk.

[perezd]

Could someone approve this contribution for us?
cncf/artwork#478

[perezd]

Transfer any trademark and logo assets over to the LF - https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements

This is now done (docusigned)

[perezd]

Transfer website analytics to [email protected]

This is now done (Google Analytics)

[RobertKielty]

The Connect maintainers have accepted the CNCF Snyk invites and are members of the Connect Org there. No code imported yet though? Looks like the FOSSA invites has expired, that's fine.

@perezd let me know when one of the maintainer team have added a repo in Snyk for license scanning.

Any issues you can update me here or DM me on CNCF Slack.

[RobertKielty]

Of @eseay @akshayjshah @emcfarlane @jhump @mattrobenolt @rebello95 @bufdev @pkwarren @smaye81 @timostamm @srikrsna-buf, eight of you have acccepted an invite to join the Connect Organziation on Snyk. Thank you!

When one of you have imported the code repos for scanning we can call this task done.

The reports that we are interested in will be found here

[bufdev]

Hey @RobertKielty apologies for the massive delay here. Could you resend me an invite for Snyk? The invitation expired - appreciate it, and sorry for the bother.

[krook]

Great to meet with you Connect team!

Since we held the meeting and you're on to Synk we can close out those two checklist items can call you officially onboarded to the Sandbox 🎉

@RobertKielty now that they are on Snyk, they did have some additional questions that they will follow up with you on.

[Cmierly]

Congrats on completing onboarding!
