Nomenclature
Sponsored Project | Official JASIG project governed by an elected steering committee and supported by a community of users and developers |
|---|---|
Incubation Process | The JA-SIG Incubation Process is holistically the activities and mechanism whereby open source software projects are proposed, incubated, evaluated, progressed, and become full-fledged JA-SIG sponsored projects. The incubation process may also be applied to new software contributions related to existing sponsored projects. |
Incubation WG | The Incubation Working Group (Incubation WG) are the people who oversee this process. (Also known as IWG) |
Incubating Project | Software to be incubated, progressing from Candidate Project status through in-incubation Incubated Project status and ideally emerging as a fully-fledged Sponsored Project. A Project may also have a Preincubation status prior to Candidate status. |
Mentor | The Mentor is a particular person assigned by the Incubation Working Group to shepherd a candidate project through incubation |
Board | The JA-SIG Board leads JA-SIG, overseeing and supporting the Working Group and the process they execute |
Contribution - Project related | Software contributed to a JA-SIG Sponsored Project that is not part of the project core. A contribution that relates to an existing project progresses from incubation to governance by the existing project steering committee. |
Contribution - not related Project | In some cases, software may be contributed without a sponsoring project. Such a contribution may exist indefinitely without becoming a Sponsored Project. Periodic review of non-project related contributions is the responsibility of the Incubation WG. |
Sandbox | An area in svn and wiki space where project related experimental work is developed. The IWG does not provide oversight or governance to the sandbox area. |
