+# Harbor Incubating Stage Review
+
+Harbor is currently a CNCF sandbox project. Please refer to Harbor's initial
+[sandbox proposal](../proposals/harbor.adoc) for discussion on Harbor's
+alignment with the CNCF and details on sandbox requirements.
+
+In the time since being accepted as a sandbox project, Harbor has demonstrated
+healthy growth and progress.
+
+* [v1.6.0 is the latest
+releases](https://goharbor.io/blogs/harbor-1.6.0-release/), shipped on
+September 7th, marking our 7th major feature release. New features include:
+
+  * [Support for hosting Helm charts](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/issues/4922)
+  * [Support for RBAC via LDAP groups](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/issues/3506)
+  * [Replication filtering via labels](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/issues/4861)
+  * [Major refactoring to coalesce to a single PostgreSQL database](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/issues/4855)
+
+* A [formalized governance
+policy](https://github.com/goharbor/community/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md) has
+been approved and instituted for the project, and two new maintainers from
+different companies have joined the project to help Harbor continue to grow.
+
+## Incubating Stage Criteria
+
+In addition to sandbox requirements, a project must meet the following
+criteria to become an incubation-stage project:
+
+* Document that it is being used successfully in production by at least three
+independent end users which, in the TOC’s judgement, are of adequate quality
+and scope.
+
+  * Adopters: [https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/master/ADOPTERS.md](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/master/ADOPTERS.md)
+
+* Have a healthy number of committers. A committer is defined as someone with
+the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept contributions to some or all of
+the project.
+
+  * Maintainers of the project are listed in
+[https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/master/OWNERS.md](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/master/OWNERS.md). There are 11 maintainers working on Harbor from 3 different
+companies (VMware, Caicloud and Hyland Software)
+
+  * Maintainers are added and removed from the project as per the policies
+outlined in the project governance:
+[https://github.com/goharbor/community/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md](https://github.com/goharbor/community/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md).
+
+* Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions.
+
+  * Releases: 7 major releases ([https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases))
+
+  * Roadmap: [https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/wiki/Harbor-Roadmap](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/wiki/Harbor-Roadmap)
+
+  * Contributors: [https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/graphs/contributors](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/graphs/contributors)
+
+  * Commit activity: [https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/graphs/commit-activity](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/graphs/commit-activity)

+stage as well as use case details from the Harbor community can be found in this

+
+## Security
+
+Harbor's codebase has been analyzed and reviewed by VMware's internal product
+security team.
+
+* Static analysis has been performed on Harbor via
+[gosec](https://github.com/securego/gosec)
+* Software decomposition via AppCheck, Snyk and retire.js with goal of
+discovering outdated or vulnerable packages
+* Manual code analysis / review
+* Vulnerability assessment via multiple scanners
+* Completed threat model
+
+In addition to this security work the Harbor maintainers are partnering with
+the CNCF to schedule a third-party security audit of Harbor.
