chainguard-forks is the official GitHub organization for the Chainguard EmeritOSS project.
EmeritOSS is our approach to provide sustainable stewardship for select mature open source projects:
- Create public forks of abandoned projects
- Maintain projects with minimal updates for security issues only
- Update dependencies when possible
- Release regularly
- No feature development
- No bug fix commitments
- Issues and PRs are turned off
Benefits:
- Continued possibility to use project safely
- Extended time for legacy use
- Ability to work on migration without urgency
- Potential base for separate community forks
