Description

ILNumerics.ONAL is the open-source numerical language core for .NET, giving C# and Visual Basic developers MATLAB/NumPy-style array programming, managed LAPACK-based linear algebra, FFTs, and industrial-grade portability under the MIT license.

What are you hoping from the foundation

We are hoping to gain signing support and broader visibility by the community.

Repository Layout

The project currently contains some code as the result of an automated translation (from netlib Fortran LAPACK -> ILNumerics .NET C#). This code is not intended to be edited manually. It could be made available as individual package for a more clean repository structure.
Documentation will become a part of the ILNumerics.ONAL repository.

Eligibility Criteria

• The project is built on the .NET platform and/or creates value within the .NET ecosystem.
• The project produces source code for distribution to the public at no charge.
• The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible (preferably on GitHub).
• The project contains a build script that can produce deployable artifacts that are identical to the official deployable artifacts, with the exception of code signing (Exception may be granted for strong name keys, though strongly encouraged to be committed. Exception relies on OSS signing being in the build script for public builds).
• When applicable, project must use reproducible build settings in its toolchain.
• The project uses Source Link.
• The project uses either embedded PDBs or publish symbol packages to NuGet (if applicable).
• The project code signs their artifacts as appropriate.
• The project organization has 2FA enabled. Requiring 2FA must be done as part of onboarding if not already enabled.
• Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project are offered under a standard, permissive open source license which has been approved by the .NET Foundation (exceptions include a dependency that is required by the target platform where no alternative open source dependency is available such as the .NET Framework or a hardware specific library).
• Committers are bound by a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and/or are willing to embrace the .NET Foundation's CLA when the project becomes a Member.
• The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented.
• The project has a public issue tracker where the status of any defect can be easily obtained.
• The project has a published Security Policy.
• The project has a home page which provides high level information about its status and purpose.
• The project has a public communication channel where community members can engage with maintainers.
• The project has a publicly available location where members can review and contribute to documentation.

Describe why you are applying for Project Membership.

ILNumerics.ONAL is the open-sourced core of the commercial ILNumerics.Computing project. Its goal is to allow the community to profit from a mature, stable, convenient language for numerical algorithm development without vendor lock-in. Maintaining this project under open source terms enables users to formulate their numerical algorithms in a common, high-level language without having to create their own math libraries. We give this work to the community and hope for support by the .NET Foundation in terms of increased visibility and (maybe) infrastructure.

Infrastructure Requirements Summary

nothing special. Code signing would be nice, though.
