OSS Lifecycle (branch)

OSS Lifecycle is an initiative started by Netflix to classify open-source projects into lifecycles and clearly identify which projects are active and which ones are retired. To enable this badge, simply create an OSSMETADATA tagging file at the root of your GitHub repository containing a single line similar to the following: osslifecycle=active. Other suggested values are osslifecycle=maintenance and osslifecycle=archived. A working example can be viewed on the OSS Tracker repository.
