AAIF takes on the non-technical work of running an open source project, so maintainers can focus on the code and the community. What your project gets grows as it moves from Sandbox to Growth to Impact.
Benefits are earned by stage. Some are set up for you automatically, and everything else goes through one service desk.
Sandbox, Growth and Impact projects each get what helps them reach the next stage, plus everything from the stages before.
Automatic benefits are set up without asking. Others are on request, and a few need approval from the TC or the Governing Board.
Raise every request in one place. AAIF staff handle it or pass it to the Linux Foundation.
Each stage gets everything from the stages before it. Stage criteria are objective, so every project at a stage is treated the same.
For early projects finding their footing. Shared tools and services from day one.
