Hi,

I've submitted this request on behalf of QGIS.org to get a higher rate of
pulls from docker hub (which is necessary for our Travis CI), do you think
we can move forward?

They have some mktg requirements that we should evaluate.

Subject: Your application to the Docker Open Source Program

Hello

First off, a very happy new year to you! Thank you for submitting your
application to the Docker Open Source Program.  We are excited to have you
as a part of our tremendously talented developer community, and we
appreciate that you took the time to fill out this application.  We are in
the process of reviewing your application, and we will get back to you as
soon as we have any updates.  Please bear with us as we go through this
process, since this program has generated a lot of excitement, and we are
moving through the review process as quickly as we can.
Docker New Image Retention and Data Egress Policies

In August, we announced that we are creating new policies for image
retention
<https://www.docker.com/blog/scaling-dockers-business-to-serve-millions-more-developers-storage/>
and data pull rates
<https://www.docker.com/blog/scaling-docker-to-serve-millions-more-developers-network-egress/>.
We made these changes to build Docker into a sustainable business for the
long term, so that we can continue supporting our community and our
ecosystem.  We got great feedback from our extensive user base, and adjusted
<https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-hub-image-retention-policy-delayed-and-subscription-updates/>
our policies to suspend the policies on image retention.  The plan for data
pull rates is moving forward, and on Nov 2, we have started to gradually
change the existing pull rates to the new limits

   - Unauthenticated users will be restricted to 100 pulls every 6 hours
   - Authenticated free users will be restricted to 200 pulls every 6 hours

Docker Open Source Policy

Docker remains highly committed to providing a platform where the
non-commercial open source developers can continue collaborating,
innovating and pushing this industry into new directions.  For the
approved, non-commercial, open source namespaces, Docker will suspend data
pull rate restrictions, with no egress restrictions applying to any Docker
users pulling images from those namespaces
Open Source Qualification Criteria

To qualify the Publisher namespace for the Open Source Program status, the
Publisher namespace -

   - Must be shared in public repos
   - Is not funded by commercial company or organization
   - Meets the Open Source Initiative definition (defined here
   <https://opensource.org/docs/osd>), including definitions for
   - Free distribution, source code, derived works, integrity of source
   code, licensing and no tolerance for discrimination
   - Distributes images under an OSI approved open source license
   <https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical>

Review and Approval

The process for applying for Open Source status is summarized below -

   - The Publisher submits the Open Source Community Application form
   <https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application>.
   - Docker reviews the form, and determines if the Publisher qualifies for
   open source status.
   - If Docker approves the Publisher’s application, Docker will waive the
   pull rate policy for the Publisher’s namespace, for a period of one year
   - Every 12 months, Docker will review the Publisher’s namespace, to
   verify that the Publisher continues to qualify with the Docker Open Source
   Program criteria, and will extend the Open Source Program status for
   another 12 months.
   - Docker may, at its discretion, also review eligibility criteria within
   the 12-months period, and, depending on the changes of Publisher’s
   compliance with program criteria, revise the Publisher’s Open Source
   Program status
   - The Publisher may have other namespaces, that either partially comply
   or do not comply with open source policy requirements, and therefore, will
   not qualify for open source status

Joint Marketing Programs

While the Publisher retains the Open Source project status, the Publisher
agrees to -

   - Become a Docker public reference for press releases, blogs, webinars,
   etc
   - Create joint blogs, webinars and other marketing content
   - Create explicit links to their Docker Hub repos, with no ‘wrapping’ or
   hiding sources of their images
   - Include information about Docker on the website and in documentation

Please let me know if you have any questions on anything in this letter.

Please reply to this email if your open source project complies with the
above criteria, and you would like to move forward with the review and
approval of your Open Source Program.

Thank you for all your support for Docker and the Docker community.

Many thanks
