Re: SIG scopes

Good points. I love the content ideas, Michelle.
Alois suggested a SIG chairs f2f at KubeCon to share ideas if it's possible to find a good time

Re: SIG scopes
Joe Beda <jbeda@...>
One other angle/comment: We have a model right now a SIG owning some level over oversight over a project. But the mapping may not be that clean. A project may be primarily in a specific space but there may be aspects of that that cross all the lines. (example is security, but there are others, I’m sure). We need to find the right way to involve the right SIGs at the right times.

Having gone through some of the debates when we first put the SIG charters together, there are a few other considerations I'd like to add to the debate :-)
In general I think SIGs should bias towards having a broader rather than a narrower scope:
This was part of the original governance/operating model for the SIGs: Each SIG was to have a number of co-chairs - specifically to allow load sharing and continuity over time. The focus for specific projects/initiatives is then applied to the tech lead role - of which there can be as many as needed based on the workload/diversity of topics in the SIG scope. This allows the tech leads to be focused on a specific area, whilst the co-chairs help manage & co-ordinate.
Of course, nothing is static and ideas & orgs evolve over time, so there are always changes that can be applied.
Also, agree with the points about getting content around SIGs on the website (which will help participation), better (and more explicit) management of SIG priorities (which I guess should also reflect the TOC priorities).

This is exactly the discussion I hoped to spark, so I definitely don't mind your debate :-)
Michelle and I happened to have a chat about this today, as she mentioned, and will discuss further with the TOC.
In summary, my personal opinion is that we need to:
1. Agree what the scope of the CNCF is. 2. Partition that scope into bite-sized chunks that cover the entire scope (these were the original 7 proposed SIGs). 3. Make sure that each of the chunks is appropriately taken care of. Over time the details of "appropriately taken care of" will clearly change, as hot spots come and go (FaaS, Service Mesh, Secure Containers, Edge, ..... ), projects come and go, etc. In the extreme, a chunk may be completely dormant for a period of time, or temporarily focussed on one specific subset. But it's still a chunk of the logical total CNCF scope.
There are many different ways to execute on the above. The 7 originally proposed SIG's and their scopes are one way. Other ways are fine, as long as they achieve the overall goal over time.
Q
There are several possible ways to implement the above strategy.

Re: SIG scopes
Michelle Noorali
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Liz. I agree with your bullet points especially around acknowledging that there are gaps and that the TOC is responsible when it comes to gaps (was just chatting with Quinton about this today). I'd like to talk further
on that topic of gaps when we meet in person and how to tactically handle them.
Here are some suggestions on getting people involved in SIGs to get the conversation rolling:

Previously we have had a period of general review, and then set a future date for a vote to ensure people make an effort to get comments in. A bit like preparing for an exam I guess. Keep an eye on this list and your GH issue, as community comments may appear.

As a reminder, our goals in moving to incubation include:
* Moving Falco's build and release infrastructure to CNCF provided infrastructure. * Capturing and building on the current momentum of the project. * Publishing of end user case studies. * Further helping customers achieve compliance in Kubernetes/Cloud Native environments.

Propose to add Volcano as CNCF Sandbox
Klaus Ma
Hi team,
We'd like to propose Volcano as CNCF sandbox :) Volcano is a Kubernetes Native Batch System, which provides features to run batch workload (e.g. AI/ML, BigData, HPC) on Kubernetes. Please refer to PR for more detail: https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/318 If any suggestion/comments, please let me know :) -- Klaus

Re: Serverless WG and the AppDelivery SIG
Doug Davis <dug@...>
Quinton - Thanks for mentioning SIG-Runtime - I forgot about this suggestion. Do you think CloudEvents would be under SIG-Runtime? It mentioning orchestration and batch seems like it might fit under there. WDYT? I agee Liz I think serverless app development falls under sig-apps, and serveless runtimes fall under sig-runtime. It's pretty common for work groups to span across a few SIGs. Q

The Serverless WG has already been performing that role of defining the landscape in their space, identifying gaps, writing white papers... The bit we’re missing is the liaison that we have between TOC and SIGs, which I for one think is valuable. After seeing that “Topic 4” diagram I am open to the idea of broadening to SIG App Platform. I foresee some confusion between that and SIG App Delivery with those names, though. Naming is hard. I would love to hear thoughts from more folks on the relationship between Serverless and the new Runtime SIG - we could certainly discuss on the next TOC call. Personally I don’t think SIG Runtime is a natural home for CloudEvents, function frameworks and so on, so I think there is a real gap. But there is some overlap already: Virtual Kubelet falls into Runtime’s charter, but also appears on the Serverless landscape. Runtime feels like the more natural home; is Serverless really the right place for VK on the landscape?

During last week's WG call this topic was discussed and the net result is that the WG members felt that while there is some possible overlap, the scope of the WG is different enough that the SIG would not be an appropriate home for the WG. As a concrete example, it seems as though a project like CloudEvents (which came out of the WG's work) would not be in-scope for the AppDelivery SIG. With that, the WG thinks that a separate SIG might be more appropriate. However, the creation of a Serverless SIG might be too limited in scope. One of the things that we're noticing is that the lines between CaaS, PaaS, FaaS and Serverless are getting blurry. Which means the distinction between the various platforms, or underlying technologies for each *aaS, is becoming less clear. Instead, the differences are becoming more akin to configuration settings rather than entirely distinct platform considerations. As such, the WG felt that an "AppPlatform" SIG might be more appropriate. This SIG could then focus on the underlying hosting technologies leveraged by higher-level SIGs (such as AppDelivery). It would be something along the lines of "Topic 4" in the diagram here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gMhRz4vEwiHa3uD8DqFKHGTSxrVJNgkLG2WZWvi9lXo/edit#bookmark=id.qv45kp7nb29b We can discuss this on a future TOC call, but if the TOC is interested in this we can take the action item to write-up a formal charter to further clarify the proposal that we have in mind. thanks -Doug Davis/Mark Peek/Ken Owens
