For years, the jQuery Foundation has supported the development, + growth and administration of the jQuery projects as well as non-jQuery + projects like QUnit, Sizzle and Globalize with the goal of making the + open web accessible to everyone. With that goal in mind, the jQuery + Foundation has opened its doors to other open source projects that are + dedicated to that same mission and are vital pieces to the open web + ecosystem. But what does that mean for your project and what would + your project get out of joining the jQuery Foundation? Those are good + questions that we hope to answer here.
+
+
+ +
+
+
+
What do we offer our projects?
+
When your project joins the Foundation, we'll take care of the + administrative, legal, financial, infrastructure and other + tasks so that the development team can focus on the project + and their community.
+ +
+
Administration and Governance
+
---
+
Projects enter the jQuery Foundation in different states. If + necessary, we will help a project determine their team + structure, leadership and communication infrastructure. The + Foundation does not micromanage the technical direction of + the project, leaving direction to the project team and its + community.
+
+ +
+
Community
+
---
+
The jQuery Foundation has years of experience building and + nurturing a community around its projects and we want to + give you access to that experience. Whether your project is + new or established, you can always work toward growing your + community and making sure you are meeting their needs. We + want to help you do that.
+
+ +
+
Infrastructure
+
---
+
Projects will have access to jQuery Foundation hardware and + services as well as a team dedicated to keeping it all + running. The Foundation will provide resources for websites, + documentation, builds, CDN access and more. We also have an + ever growing stock of mobile devices available for project + testing.
+
+ +
+
Financial Management
+
---
+
Whether or not your project currently brings in funding, we + are here to help. All of our projects share in a single + budget. Based on available funds, project goals/needs and + a group prioritization system, we allocate those funds in + the best way possible for all projects. This means that + large projects with a good funding base, like jQuery for + example, receive help in allocating that money most + effectively and they also help smaller or less funded + projects continue to move forward.
+
+ +
+
Legal Assistance
+
---
+
The jQuery Foundation will register and protect any + trademarks and intellectual property belonging to a project + and will protect all projects under jQuery Foundation + copyright. The Foundation will also provide or help with + the creation of a Contributor License Agreement for each + project as well as license selection and management. + Projects have access to our legal team as well if the need + arises.
+
+ +
+
Open Web Forum
+
---
+
Our projects are accepted because we believe they are + important to the open web and its future. With that in + mind, we provide vendor-neutral forums such as mailing + lists and other communication channels as well as in person + meetings and conferences for our projects to collaborate + and work together toward common goals as well as pull from + the experiences and knowledge of those other projects. We + think this is a unique and very important advantage of + being part of the jQuery Foundation. Your project is not + siloed but instead encouraged to be a contributing part of + the Foundation ecosystem.
+
+ +
+
Project Autonomy
+
---
+
The Foundation's goal is to provide Open Source projects with + the financial, logistical, and administrative resources they + need to ensure each project is successful. If a project's + leadership wishes to leave the Foundation at some point in + the future, it is free to do so. The Foundation will transfer + relevant marks and copyrights to a nonprofit organization + that is committed to respecting the open source license of + the project. The jQuery projects made a similar transition + from the Software Freedom Conservancy in 2012 when the jQuery + Foundation was created.
+
+
+
+ +
+
+
How does a project get started?
+
The Foundation offers projects support without micro-managing + their technical decisions, and sets a few basic best practices + for all projects, such as tagging for all releases. Projects + determine their own release schedules, feature sets, team + members, and tool sets.
+
So you've decided that your project would fit into the jQuery + Foundation family, great! We want to hear from you. We don't + have a set application procedure but we do have some guidelines + we follow when accepting new projects. Many projects won't meet + all of these guidelines, and that's ok. It's more about + providing talking points for the Foundation to get to know and + evaluate a potential project.
+ +
+
Does the project "fit" with the other projects?
+
---
+
The Foundation wants to know if the goals and purpose of the + project fit into the community of projects we currently + support. We want our projects to benefit from each other + and provide a wealth of knowledge and experiences that they + can all draw from.
+
+ +
+
Is the project important to other projects and developers?
+
---
+
In many cases this means the project is already widely used, + and needs support so it can continue to grow and serve the + web development community. In a few cases it may mean that, + in the judgement of the Foundation, a small project is + important to the future of web development.
+
+ +
+
Is the project well maintained?
+
---
+
It's great when a project maintains a consistent style and + organization to the code in their project. But more than + that, we want to see that there is a team of people, + large or small, that is willing to continue to grow and + maintain that project with the support of the Foundation.
+
+ +
+
Is the project licensed under a liberal Open Source license?
+
---
+
We prefer a small number of licenses like + MIT + or BSD style licenses. We will consider other licenses but + our goal is to maintain the openness of a project and the + license must reflect that.
