@willtsai regarding this task:

Submitted a Pull request to add your project as a sandbox project to https://landscape.cncf.io - @willtsai

I think "sandbox" is a mistake and should instead be added to the "incubating" projects.

@willtsai regarding this task:

I think "sandbox" is a mistake and should instead be added to the "incubating" projects.

I can already see Dapr as Incubating under the Serverless/Framework sections.

[msfussell]

For this issue
Ensure your project meets the CNCF IP Policy: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/charter.md#11-ip-policy
@artursouza or someone please do this dapr/dapr#3911
@orizohar - Could you do this dapr/docs#1963

yes, looks like this was already done as a part of cncf/landscape#2346. I will check off the task and add a comment in the parent issue.

Have added your project to https://github.com/cncf/contribute - @willtsai

@yaron2 @msfussell - can you please validate that this info is accurate, especially the CLA? And Dapr doesn't have a developer list/forum, correct?

EDIT: replaced with Apache 2.0 license and DCO as legal requirements per conversation with @msfussell. This is aligned with what Helm has as well.

"The Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) provides APIs that simplify microservice connectivity. Whether your communication pattern is service to service invocation or pub/sub messaging, Dapr helps you write resilient and secured microservices. By letting Dapr’s sidecar take care of the complex challenges such as service discovery, message broker integration, encryption, observability, and secret management, you can focus on business logic and keep your code simple." - Dapr - dapr.io

• Project Repository: https://github.com/dapr
• Contributor Guide: dapr.io/contributing
• Chat: Dapr Discord Server
• License: Apache 2.0
• Legal Requirements: DCO

Not applicable:

• Developer List/Forum: [ ][${PROJECT}-dev-list]

[msfussell]

This is what Dapr will adopt, not what it is now with MS. Licence is Apache 2.0 I suspect the CLA will need to be https://developercertificate.org/ .

UPDATE: @greenie-msft you may check off this item as the PR was just merged

[willtsai]

@greenie-msft - you can check off this task too: Understand the license allowlist

We discussed it in the call, but in essence, the requirement is that any dependencies or libraries we use in Dapr need to either be under the Apache2.0 license or else under one of these licenses:

• BSD-2-Clause
• BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD
• BSD-3-Clause
• MIT
• ISC
• Python-2.0
• PostgreSQL
• X11
• Zlib
• Google patent license for Golang (https://golang.org/PATENTS)

[msfussell]

Closing. cncf/sandbox#228 we're officially onboarded
