Going for Graduation: Crossing the Chasm - Bill Mulligan, Isovalent & Katie Gamanji, Apple

Sandbox, incubation, graduation. These are the three maturity stages for the 147 (at the time of writing) projects under the CNCF umbrella. While the formal process to go from one stage to the next is written down in the TOC repo, it isn’t just a check the box process and each community will have its own journey. This talk from a current TOC member and maintainer of a project applying for graduation will break down, from both sides of the table, what it takes to build a successful project and community to finally cross the chasm to graduation. The audience will learn: 1. What the graduation process looks like 2. When you should get started with the process 3. How to prepare for each of the graduation requirements 4. What resources are available to projects getting ready for graduation
