I’ve Started an Open Source Project – Now What!?!
summary
Created an open source tool that scans codebases for unused classes and variables, creates pull requests and notifies via Slack to reduce tech debt; proposal option is to join an umbrella foundation like the CDF to gain reputation, program management, legal support, cloud credits, marketing templates, blog distribution and community channels. CNCF hosts about 172 projects and uses sandbox/incubating/graduated stages. Proposal and graduation requirements are nontrivial and often take months, so pick several suitable foundations and map the exit criteria before submitting.
