Hi all, Now that our GitHub repository has been successfully migrated to the ASF, we have a number of onboarding tasks to complete. The overall process can be referenced here: https://incubator.apache.org/guides/transitioning_asf.html↳
Below is a summary of the main items we need to take care of: 1. License Header Check and Replacement We need to ensure that all original source files include the standard ASF license header. For any third-party source files, please be extra cautious and refer to: https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#3party To help automate this process (and ideally add a check to GitHub Actions), we recommend the following tools: apache/skywalking-eyes: Flexible configuration, suitable for modern projects. apache/rat: A mature tool widely used within ASF projects. 2. Assembling LICENSE, NOTICE, and DISCLAIMER Files Please make sure the following files are placed in the root of the repository: LICENSE and NOTICE: See the ASF guide for proper content: https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice DISCLAIMER: This is mandatory during the incubation phase. Reference: https://incubator.apache.org/policy/incubation.html#disclaimers Assembling LICENSE and NOTICE files for binary distributions can be a bit tricky. I’ll provide more detailed guidance on that once the basic groundwork is complete. In the meantime, I strongly encourage everyone to read these guides carefully — they are very informative and helpful. 🙂 3. Release Infrastructure Preparation If we plan to publish Maven artifacts or Docker images in the future, we’ll need to coordinate with the Infra team to set up accounts and permissions on the required platforms. https://incubator.apache.org/guides/distribution.html Would anyone in the community be interested in taking this on? The process is similar to what we've done before — just submit an Infra ticket. I’m happy to provide a template or example if needed. I’ll cover branding, website setup, and release-related topics in a follow-up email — this one is already quite long (and admittedly a bit delayed 😅). If any mentor would like to jump in and help with that, feel free! -- Best wishes! CalvinKirs
