Governance Model

For project maintainers, we follow regular PR and review process for adding new features and bug fixes. branches are maintained in main repo. For open-source contributors, they need to fork and submit changes via PR. The PR is then reviewed by maintainers and other contributors who evaluate the changes for quality. Reviews may include feedback, and contributors may need to address comments before the PR is accepted, or maintainer may make last step change if contributors agree.

CLA

• The project produces source code for distribution to the public at no charge.
• The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible (preferably on GitHub).
• The project contains a build script that can produce deployable artifacts that are identical to the official deployable artifacts, with the exception of code signing (Exception may be granted for strong name keys, though strongly encouraged to be committed. Exception relies on OSS signing being in the build script for public builds).

PR Plan Summary

Ursa itself is a well-polished Avalonia control library, it is welcomed by many Avalonia developers. It also strictly follows the best Avalonia development practices. It is a good resource to learn how to build a highly reusable control.

Infrastructure Requirements Summary

• To provide NativeAOT sample for different platforms, we might need different build server infra.
• We need code/pack signing help.

Thanks for reminding. I don't know why this session is displayed as PR Plan Summary. My answer:

Joining the .NET Foundation will benefit both Ursa project and .NET developers.

Joining the .NET Foundation will increase visibility and credibility of Ursa project within open-source community. .NET Foundation also provides resources that Ursa anticipates, including security and legal advices, digital signing, CLA support and so on. We also hope to learn more about managing open-source project and open-source community.

@rabbitism thank you for submitting a project application to the .NET Foundation. Your project was reviewed at the Project Committee meeting today, however there were not enough members present at the meeting to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. We will review the project once again at our next meeting in December.

The Project Committee met yesterday and unanimously agreed that it should be submitted to the Board of Directors for consideration as an official Member project (the final step in the process).
