Hi @abd-abhisek,

The API has been approved in the last TSC meeting and the onboarding tracker has been created accordingly. In addition, to start the onboarding process, we need to complete the steps in Gate 0, as well as confirm whether there should be more code owners for the API.

Hi @albertoramosmonagas ,
I am Ravi.M from Infosys, the one who proposed this API so please make me as owner of this API repository to take it through the next steps. My github id is ravim95-eng (& not Ravi Sekhar as you have been referring in places related to this API). Thanks

Hi @ravim95-eng, welcome! I have just now invited you to the CAMARA GitHub Organization. Please accept it within the next seven days.

You've invited ravim95-eng to CAMARA Project! They'll be receiving an email shortly. They can also visit https://github.com/camaraproject to accept the invitation.

Hi @ravim95-eng - I have created the mailing list. Please let me know where the wiki page should be located? If it needs to be on its own or if it should be located within another independent sandbox.

https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/sp-in-home-device-management

Best,
Evan

should be located within another independent sandbox.

Hi @eharrison24: should be on same level as the other independent sandboxes.

[hdamker]

@abd-abhisek @ravim95-eng Is it correct that you both will get codeowners of the new repository? (which would be totally ok and even preferred over a single codeownership).

[hdamker]

@ravim95-eng Thanks for accepting the invitation in GitHub. Please do and confirm the other points above in Gate 0 (LF account, subscription to mailing list, EasyCLA). Thanks and great holidays!

@hdamker please make only me as codeowner for this repository, will let know of additional code owner if required.

Hi @ravim95-eng, I apologize for the misunderstanding with the name. Once we complete the steps for gate 0, we can start working on gate 1. Could you confirm that you have validated the remaining three points?

[ravim95-eng]

Hi @albertoramosmonagas,
Have subscribed to all@lists.camaraproject.org.
EasyCLA validation successfully completed earlier, needn't do it again, right?
LF account is active - LF username is ravim
Confluence access granted - what confluence is this & steps to get access? i have access to https://lf-camaraproject.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CAM/pages/14561139/CAMARA+Q+A

[albertoramosmonagas]

That's all @ravim95-eng, thanks. We can continue with the work of the Gate 1. You can start the process by request wiki page and mailing list (email support@camaraproject.org, specify details)
