Become a CNCF project?

[erikgb]

What

We find this project very useful and well-made, and we think it could be adopted by many more. When we consider adopting and/or contributing to new projects, it's a big plus if the project is a CNCF project. Others might think alike, and I would therefore suggest becoming a CNCF project.

How

If there is an interest in this, I found the following getting started resources:

• https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/project_proposals.md
• https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/sandbox.md

Thank you for the suggestion.
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure if CNCF welcomes this because they have HNC.

This project was started because we found some fundamental problems in the design of HNC,
and we didn't have time to help HNC improve. Accurate and HNC are very similar in their
goals, but the design is different.

We are open to contributing our OSS projects to CNCF or the Linux Foundation,
but do not want to spend time arguing the value of projects compared to existing
projects.

@ymmt2005 HNC has been unmaintained for a long time and is about to be archived (ref. kubernetes/org#5484). Maybe you can reconsider your stand on this? 🥰 CNCF got https://www.cncf.io/projects/capsule/, but while similar to Accurate, it is a lot more intrusive (we have tried it).

@erikgb Oh, thank you for the update.

Based on the news, I personally am fine with donating this to CNCF.
That being said, I'm an inactive maintainer of this project and would like to
leave the decision to the current maintainer and you.

I'll talk to other maintainers.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We discussed this within our team and decided to move forward with it.
Please wait a bit longer while I get approval from my supervisor.

@zoetrope any update on the approval? We're looking for alternatives to move to now that HNC is archived and this would move up the ladder if it were CNCF

@hagel86
Thank you for your interest in this project. We are currently preparing to apply Accurate to the CNCF Sandbox project.
Once we have applied and have any updates on the status, we will announce them here.
