The SODA Eco Project Program provides services to projects to help them develop, grow and be adopted by end users. It helps projects join the SODA ecosystem, integrate with the SODA Open Data Framework (ODF), and introduce them to end users and the SODA community.

We welcome independent projects developed by companies as well as projects hosted by open source foundations such as Linux Foundation, CNCF, OIF, Apache etc. and industry organizations.

WHY JOIN THE PROGRAM?

Being a SODA Eco Project increases the willingness of developers from enterprise software companies, start-ups, and independent developers to collaborate, contribute, and become committers. It also gives end users the confidence in adopting the project.

SODA Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) admits and oversees all projects. Projects accepted into SODA by the TOC is an endorsement of your project’s standing in the data and storage industry.

For projects accepted into the program, the existing governance model, trademark ownership, and maintainers (or committers)  stay the same.
