Below is a self-assessment submitted by TSC Chair/Maintainers of the Project. Comments/questions/feedback is welcome either a) in the Comments at the bottom of the page or b) during the TAC call when information is presented |
Stage 1: At Large Projects
Stage 2 and Stage 3 Projects also requested to complete this section, as PLD acceptance criteria requires meeting current as well as prior stage requirements

Stage 2: Growth Stage
Stage 3 Projects also requested to complete this section
Stage 2 Criteria (from the PLD) | Meets / Needs Improvement / Missing / Not Applicable | Supporting Data (if needed, include links to specific examples) |
|---|---|---|
Development of a growth plan (to include both roadmap of projected feature sets as well as overall community growth/project maturity), to be done in conjunction with their project mentor(s) at the TAC. | Meets | The project creates a build every two weeks (for every sprint) and an LTS release twice a year. |
Document that it is being used in POCs. | Meets | Project EVE has been used in various POCs and is in large-scale production use. See https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/ADOPTERS.md |
Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions. | Meets | Over the last 12 months we have had 1059 commits from 57 contributors across 10 repositories Note that in Sept 2023 we introduced the eve-kernel repository which is a clone of the Linux kernel with ots complete git history. LFX Insights picks that up, and as a result the total contributors are 25,000! One can look at less confusing data individually for the other repositories e.g., the main EVE repo. |
Demonstrate that the current level of community participation is sufficient to meet the goals outlined in the growth plan. | Meets | The above level of commits are likely to continue as we continue deliver the items on the roadmap and grow the TSC and committers. |
Demonstrate evidence of, or a plan for, interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects). | Meets | Worked with FDO and OpenHorizon to demo a combined EVE, FDO, and OpenHorizon at One Summit 2024 in San Jose. In addition work with other LF projects like CNCF SPOS WG and Margo. Previous worked closely with EdgeX Foundry and Akraino. Plus separate work to enable the LF Edge Sandbox where EVE is a foundation for deploying different LF Edge projects and other software on edge devices. Note that “interoperability” in most of the above cases means that EVE is used as a substrate to deploy and operate these other LF Edge projects. The exception is the FDO integration which involved modifications to EVE. |

Stage 3: Impact Stage
Criteria | Meets / Needs Improvement / Missing / Not Applicable | Supporting Data (if needed, include links to specific examples) |
|---|---|---|
Have a defined governing body of at least 5 or more members (owners and core maintainers), of which no more than 1/3 is affiliated with the same employer. In the case there are 5 governing members, 2 may be from the same employer. | Meets | TSC is currently at 5 members across 3 companies. From https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md:
|
Have a documented and publicly accessible description of the project's governance, decision-making, and release processes. | Meets | TSC and committer election process, and release process https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md |
Have a healthy number of committers from at least two organizations. A committer is defined as someone with the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept contributions to some or all of the project. | Meets | Currently 7 committers across 3 organizations. From https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md
|
Establish a security and vulnerability process which at a minimum includes meeting ("Met" or "?") all OpenSSF best practices security questions and SECURITY.md . | Meets | Passing (164%). See https://www.bestpractices.dev/en/projects/4746 |
Demonstrate evidence of interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects). | Meets | Worked with FDO and OpenHorizon to demo a combined EVE, FDO, and OpenHorizon at One Summit 2024 in San Jose. In addition work with other LF projects like CNCF SPOS WG and Margo. Previous worked closely with EdgeE Foundry and Akraino. Plus separate work to enable the LF Edge Sandbox where EVE is a foundation for deploying different LF Edge projects and other software on edge devices. Note that “interoperability” in most of the above cases means that EVE is used as a substrate to deploy and operate these other LF Edge projects. The exception is the FDO integration which involved modifications to EVE. |
Adopt the Foundation Code of Conduct. | Meets | At https://lf-edge.atlassian.net/wiki/x/BYDyCQ and also referenced in https://lf-edge.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/14583946/Technical Charter -- Enterprise Cyber-Physical Edge Virtualization Engine Project FINAL 2-12-19.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1557623052344&cacheVersion=1&api=v2 |
Explicitly define a project governance and committer process. This is preferably laid out in a GOVERNANCE.md file and references a CONTRIBUTING.md and OWNERS.md file showing the current and emeritus committers. | Meets | TSC and committer election process, https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md Owners in https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md |
Have a public list of project adopters for at least the primary repo (e.g., ADOPTERS.md or logos on the project website). | Meets |
