| Example CI job at e.g. [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-disks/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml plasma-disks CI] and [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-disks/-/jobs plasma-disks reuse jobs]

| | |
| == Process ==
| |
| === Candidate ===
| |
| Create a project on invent.kde.org and import the existing code. This can be in a personal space on invent. You might need to ask sysadmin to import the code.
| |
| | |
| Create an issue on the invent project with a label of "Incubation Request". Copy and paste the checklist above into the issue and include background on the project: a description of the project to be incubated, include a list of the people committing to the project, and have a plan to be in compliance with the [https://manifesto.kde.org/index.html KDE manifesto]. For example, it must be hosted on KDE infrastructure (or have an action plan that ensures continuity) (e.g. not on Github).
| |
| | |
| Send an email to kde- [email protected] and other relevant lists requesting a sponsor pointing to the issue and including the same background description. | |
| | |
| === Incubating ===
| |
| During this phase, the sponsor actively works toward getting the project set up by doing the following:
| |
| * Make sure the project developers have developer accounts
| |
| * Contact sysadmin to get git repos (in the playground area) set up for the developers
| |
| * Keep on top of the process to make sure it's going in the right direction and not getting stalled
| |
| | |
| During this phase, the project cannot yet use the KDE brand or have a top level website on kde.org. If project becomes stalled or does not conform to the manifesto, it gets archived (see below).
| |
| | |
| === Active ===
| |
| During the Active phase, the project enters Playground. When it is nearing a beta release is can be moved to "KDEReview" and follows the process from there (see also [[Policies/Application_Lifecycle|Application Lifecycle]] and [[KDEReview]]. The project team is assumed and expected to behave like other KDE teams and respect the KDE manifesto.
| |
| | |
| === Stalled & Archived ===
| |
| A project is considered stalled when for one year, there is no release, no commits, and no mailing-list activity. Current maintainers are contacted to check what's happening. If there is no activity or no reply from existing maintainers, after a month then a call to new maintainers is done. If a new maintainer shows up he or she gets a six month trial. If after a month no new maintainer showed up, the project gets archived.
| |
| | |
| When a project gets archived, the source repo gets closed, the mailing list disabled, and only last download is available. If someone wants to pick it up, it goes back to the candidate phase.
| |
| | |
| === Notes ===
| |
| Here are [[Incubator/Notes|notes]] which led to the current process.
