Joining the .NET Foundation #956
Comments
Yeah, nothing happened here, I'll try to fill the forms again. Since they require copyright assignment, I'm not so sure anymore whether we should really go through with this. |
What's the copyright assignment issue? |
Well, they require us to hand the copyright over to the .NET Foundation (at least as far as I understood). For a project with a lot of individual contributors like this one it's a lot of work to get everyone's agreement to this. I filled the forms again now, if I don't hear back from them again I'll try to make more direct contact. |
A good thread on the steps nunit are going through to join. It seems there is the option of licensing the foundation, instead of assigning copyright. |
Yup, here's the link: https://github.com/dotnet/foundation/blob/master/guidance/new-projects.md
We're in the first bucket, same as NUnit. I added the suggested checklist at the top of this issue.
Unity is already a member of the .NET Foundation, maybe there's a channel I can use to get our application moving. @filmor which forms did you fill out? |
FYI, I went through this process with IronPython. If you need any help with anything, I'd be happy to lend my experience. |
We have joined and are listed, just need to finish the on-boarding activities (adding to our README etc.). That will be done for the coming release. @slide Thanks, turned out to just need some patience :) |
We're getting ready to bring the project into the .NET Foundation, but before we
