Characteristics

“Dion Almaer's Being Open is Hard provides a great starting point for describing how all Dojo Foundation projects are "100-point" open source projects:


• 0 points: Say you are open

• 10 points: Choose an OSI license (BSD, AFL, Apache, MIT, etc.)

• 20 points: Define the governance of the code. (Check)

o Does one company hold all of the cards? (No) o Can others participate? (Yes) o For code, who participates? (Committers and contributors) o Can anyone patch? (Yes, with a CLA) o Can you, and if so how do you become a committer? (Yes, follow instructions for contributing patches and getting involved) o At the core: How are decisions made (In the Open)

• 30 points: A reference implementation under an open source license (Check)

• 40 points: Where does the IP stand? (Clean, open, with CLAs). Did you donate it to a foundation? (Yes) “ (http://dojofoundation.org/about/hundredpoint/)
