Background

The process for the inclusion of new projects in OpenStack is fully described here. The OpenStack Incubation request is the first step for an external project to become incubated.

Application

To apply, you need to create a wiki page about your project, with at least the following information:

• Project codename
• Trademarks (Does this project contain any trademarks, if so who owns them? List the codenames or other marks for which a trademark search should occur.)
• Summary (one sentence abstract of the project)
• Mission statement (if the project is part of a new OpenStack program)
• Detailed Description (what is the purpose of the project and vision for it? describe the relevance of the project to other OpenStack projects and the OpenStack mission to provide a ubiquitous cloud computing platform)
• Basic roadmap for the project
• Location of project source code
• Programming language, required technology dependencies
• Is project currently open sourced? What license?
• Level of maturity of software and team
• Proposed project technical lead and qualifications
• Other project developers and qualifications
• Infrastructure requirements (testing, etc)
• Have all current contributors agreed to the OpenStack CLA?

Then you need to send an email to openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org for community discussion. That email should at least contain a link to the above-mentioned wiki page. You should also post a separate email to the Technical Committee at openstack-tc@lists.openstack.org pointing to the -dev discussion.

Technical Committee review of your application

Your application will be considered in a future Technical Committee meeting.
