Impact Stage projects are widely used in production environments and have large, well-established project communities with a number of contributors from at least two organizations.

Project Stages Mapping: Criteria and Data

Stage 3: Impact Stage (formerly 'Top-Level')

Criteria

Data

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.


Have a documented and publicly accessible description of the project's governance, decision-making, and release processes.


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.


Demonstrate evidence of interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects).


Adopt the Foundation Code of Conduct.


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.


Have a public list of project adopters for at least the primary repo (e.g., ADOPTERS.md or logos on the project website).


Other metrics as defined by the applying Project during the application process in cooperation with the TAC.
