Eligibility Criteria

• The project is built on the .NET platform and/or creates value within the .NET ecosystem.
• 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).
• When applicable, project must use reproducible build settings in its toolchain.
• The project uses Source Link.
• The project uses either embedded PDBs or publish symbol packages to NuGet (if applicable).
• The project code signs their artifacts as appropriate.
• The project organization has 2FA enabled. Requiring 2FA must be done as part of onboarding if not already enabled.
• Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project are offered under a standard, permissive open source license which has been approved by the .NET Foundation (exceptions include a dependency that is required by the target platform where no alternative open source dependency is available such as the .NET Framework or a hardware specific library).
• Committers are bound by a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and/or are willing to embrace the .NET Foundation's CLA when the project becomes a Member.
• The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented.
• The project has a public issue tracker where the status of any defect can be easily obtained.
• The project has a published Security Policy.
• The project has a home page which provides high level information about its status and purpose.
• The project has a public communication channel where community members can engage with maintainers.
• The project has a publicly available location where members can review and contribute to documentation.

PR Plan Summary

I'm applying to join the .NET Foundation to support the continued development of the Betalgo OpenAI library. This project has been valuable for many developers, and I believe the Foundation's resources and community could help improve it further. Joining would provide stability for the project and potentially lead to useful collaborations with other .NET developers. It's a practical step to ensure the library remains a reliable tool for those integrating OpenAI services into their .NET applications.

The Project Committee will review the application at the Sept 12 meeting

@kayhantolga in your application you have specified "Assignment" for the Project Transfer Agreement model":

The definition for the 2 approaches supported by the .NET Foundation are included below...

Assignment Model

Under the .NET Foundation assignment model, project ownership and other intellectual property is assigned to the .NET Foundation and the .NET Foundation agrees to grantback a license to the contributor(s).

Contribution Model

Under the .NET Foundation contribution model, a project retains ownership of the copyright, but grants the .NET Foundation a broad license to the project’s code and other intellectual property. The project also confirms that the project’s submissions to .NET Foundation are its own original work (there are also instructions for any third party materials that might be included).

Community managed open source projects generally use the Contribution model rather than the Assignment model, as they usually want to retain copyright ownership of their IP. The Assignment model is mainly used for open source projects created by Microsoft.

Can you please clarify which Project Transfer Agreement model you would like to follow.

[kayhantolga]

@sbwalker, I think I made a mistake while filling out the application form. I prefer the Contribution Model. Thanks for pointing out.

CLA onboarding email sent

[kayhantolga]

Hi @ChrisSfanos, I haven’t received a reply to my emails. I’m not sure if they aren’t arriving, getting lost, or if the process is just expected to be slow.

[ChrisSfanos]

Hi @kayhantolga - I'm resending a mail I sent a while ago that I didn't see a reply to. Sorry if I missed it

[kayhantolga]

Hi @ChrisSfanos, I sent you another email. It might be blocked by the spam-filter again 😞 —just FYI.

[ChrisSfanos]

Hi @kayhantolga - sorry I just hadn't gotten to it post the holidays - I replied with the final set of onboarding steps - thanks!
