Description

.NET Interactive combines the power of .NET with many other languages to create notebooks, REPLs, and embedded coding experiences.

What are you hoping from the foundation

The .NET team has made the decision to drop support for this project, but it is mature and stable and has a core dedicated group of users who hope that it can continue to provide value for them and their organizations. Support by the .NET Foundation could provide continuity, community trust, and perhaps infrastructure for the project to continue with community support.

CLA

• If already an OSS project, was a Contribution License Agreement in place for contributions accepted?

How does the project check who has signed one?

The current CLA process is the standard .NET Foundation CLA for .NET OSS projects:

Contribution License Agreement
This Contribution License Agreement ( “Agreement” ) is agreed to by the party signing below ( “You” ),
and conveys certain license rights to the .NET Foundation ( “.NET Foundation” ) for Your contributions to
.NET Foundation open source projects. This Agreement is effective as of the latest signature date below.

Eligibility Criteria

• The project is built on the .NET platform and/or creates value within the .NET ecosystem.
• The project produces source code for distribution to the public at no charge.
• The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible (preferably on GitHub).
• The project contains a build script that can produce deployable artifacts that are identical to the official deployable artifacts, with the exception of code signing (Exception may be granted for strong name keys, though strongly encouraged to be committed. Exception relies on OSS signing being in the build script for public builds).
• When applicable, project must use reproducible build settings in its toolchain.
• The project uses Source Link.
• The project uses either embedded PDBs or publish symbol packages to NuGet (if applicable).
• The project code signs their artifacts as appropriate.
• The project organization has 2FA enabled. Requiring 2FA must be done as part of onboarding if not already enabled.
• Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project are offered under a standard, permissive open source license which has been approved by the .NET Foundation (exceptions include a dependency that is required by the target platform where no alternative open source dependency is available such as the .NET Framework or a hardware specific library).
• Committers are bound by a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and/or are willing to embrace the .NET Foundation's CLA when the project becomes a Member.
• The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented.
• The project has a public issue tracker where the status of any defect can be easily obtained.
• The project has a published Security Policy.
• The project has a home page which provides high level information about its status and purpose.
• The project has a public communication channel where community members can engage with maintainers.
• The project has a publicly available location where members can review and contribute to documentation.

Describe why you are applying for Project Membership.

Our goal is to provide continuity for the project and its users, currently estimated to be around 50k 2-day engaged users, and to potentially allow the project to grow beyond its current .NET-specific mission to address a broader gap in polyglot data tooling.

Infrastructure Requirements Summary

Initially, build servers and code signing to replace the Microsoft-provided infrastructure would be helpful. There are no web servers or hosted services currently supporting this project.
