Agenda Items

1. Review of Project Applications

• Jinget
  2/8/24 – include in Seed category
• Emik.SourceGenerators.Choices
  2/8/24 - inform maintainer to submit application in the future once the project is more established and has more adoption
• std.uritemplate
  2/8/24 - submit to BOD for consideration as a Member project (need to provide clarification that the repo does not include only .NET code… and clarify the intent to join via Assignment rather than Contribution).

2. Review of Member Applications in the Project Repo - Nicole to follow up will the requests. Transfer the applications to the Project Committee as needed.

• Vahid Farahmandian
• Dmitrii Slabko
• Saeed Rezaei
• Saeed Mohammadiaghdam
• Hennie Francis

3. Open Discussion items for Members of the Project Committee
   Avalonia – provide feedback to BOD that a project of this stature leaving the .NET Foundation does not send a positive message to the .NET community. If we are trying to improve the reputation of the .NET Foundation this will represent another step backward. Ask if there is any way to retain the project in the .NET Foundation, as there are very few reasons that a project should feel the need to leave (ie. a license change to a non-OS license, etc…).

@nicoleabuhakmeh for std.uritemplate, do you need the maintainers to be present on the call? (@andreaTP and I) or is this more of a discussion between foundation committee members?

[andreaTP]

@baywet do we need to submit also the "Project Application"?

[sbwalker]

@andreaTP you should use the standard issue template to submit your Project Application:

Select Create Issue in the Projects repo and then choose the appropriate option:

This ensures the application follows the workflow.

[sbwalker]

@baywet if new project applications are being reviewed by the Project Committee, then only the Project Committee members should be present in the meeting.

[baywet]

@sbwalker thanks for the additional context here.
@adnreaTP FYI we've already filed the project application #349

[sbwalker]

@baywet issue #349 is not in the correct form - it is missing the majority of key project information which is reviewed by the Project Committee. Please re-resubmit using the Project Application template I included above in the screen shot.

[baywet]

Thanks for pointing this out @sbwalker !! I indeed filed a "Membership request" which I believe was the link I was given during the January call. I'll go ahead I file a Project Application as well (unless we need to wait for the membership request to be approved first?)

[sbwalker]

@baywet the Membership request serves a different purpose in the .NET Foundation - it is for individuals, not projects. So you do not need to wait for the Membership request to be approved.

created the project application issue #353
