Excited to see this. The sandbox criteria ( https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/) (point 3 specifically) states:
3. Projects commissioned or sanctioned by the CNCF, including initial code for CNCF WG collaborations, and “experimental” projects
Following this, I would suggest to the TOC we would proceed with moving this through the SIG process as a Sandbox project. Where I would like to understand is what is the graduation pathway for this - does it graduate to being a CNCF Service? An incubating project like any other? Furthermore, if it's a CNCF service, does it follow different requirements to leave sandbox?
I look forward to getting involved in the development and governance of this project. Thanks Dan, Matt, Cynthia, Sergio, and the Operator Framework / Helm teams for the discussion back at KubeCon!

Hub is a web-based application that enables finding, installing, and
publishing packages and configurations for CNCF projects. For example,
this could include Helm charts, Falco configurations, and Open Policy
Agent (OPA) policies.
Discovering artifacts to use with CNCF projects can be difficult. If
every CNCF project that needs to share artifacts creates its own Hub
this creates a fair amount of repeat work for each project and a
fractured experience for those trying to find the artifacts to consume.
The CNCF Hub attempts to solve that by providing a single experience for
consumers that any CNCF project can leverage.
The project, accessible at https://hub.cncf.io,
is currently in development in a pre-alpha state. Support for Helm
charts is in development with plans to support more projects to follow.
Pull requests, especially those to support other CNCF projects, are
welcome.
I look forward to some healthy discussion over the technical bits along with how to proceed positionally with the project. For example, is this something that should be a sandbox project or a service from the CNCF? Or, something else?
For those interested in some more history and context...
At KubeCon/CloudNativeCon SD, last November, a group of us got together. That include Dan Kohn along with representatives from the Operator Framewok, KUDO, and Helm. Note, both the Operator Framework and KUDO are projects that were and are proposed for the CNCF.
After that meeting I was asked to write an initial specification to kick things off. You can read there here. The specification was started to be turned into reality by Dan through Cynthia and Sergio.
For those who might wonder why this was not more public sooner... the plan was to do so but the virus impact on operations, like the movement of conferences, has impacted the schedule.
I want to thank Dan for bringing people together around this topic and working to make the idea a reality.
I'm happy to try to answer any questions. But, as I have only been involved during parts of this process (and often to a limited extent outside of the spec and initial meeting) I may have to defer to others for answers.

Matt Farina

I’m happy to sponsor, and have updated the PR to say so.
As a comment on the process - personally speaking, the recommendation from SIG Runtime was super-helpful and fwiw I found it helpful to watch
the SIG presentation recording. Thanks to everyone involved!
Hi,
Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA) is in process of being donated as a Sandbox project to CNCF and is being recommended by SIG-Runtime.
We are actively seeking TOC sponsors so that KEDA can be accepeted - If you are interested, feel free to reach out to me or head over to our proposal on https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/335

Dear Cloud Native Community:
The health, safety, and wellbeing of our attendees and staff are our highest priority, and we know that what makes KubeCon + CloudNativeCon such a great event is the people who gather there. Thus, after discussions with many community members, we have made the difficult decision to postpone KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Amsterdam (originally set for March 29 to April 2, 2020) to instead be held in July or August, 2020. (We’re finalizing the date and will announce it shortly.) We expect that by mid-summer, there will be more clarity on the effectiveness of control measures to enable safe travel to industry events like this one.
Additionally, we are, unfortunately, canceling KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit Shanghai in July 2020 due to the uncertainty around travel to China and our ability to assemble the speakers, sponsors, and attendees necessary for a successful event. CNCF remains deeply committed to engaging with our Chinese community and we are looking forward to again holding KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit in China in 2021.
Our North America event in Boston will occur as planned, November 17-20, 2020.
These events are important to all of us. Although nearly all the implementation work for CNCF-hosted projects is conducted online, in-person events are invaluable for making and strengthening the connections that enable our technical communities to thrive. Our sponsors, project maintainers, technical audience, and many community members consider it one of the best networking, learning, and marketing opportunities of the year. CNCF reinvests the income from events to directly support CNCF’s hosted projects. Some recent examples include funding the Kubernetes security audit, bug bounty program, and Jepsen testing of etcd. The services CNCF provides to its hosted projects are detailed in the latest CNCF Annual Report.
Thank you for your patience as we work through the issues regarding these changes. Please continue to support each other in the community, wash your hands, and we look forward to seeing you in July/August.
- CNCF staff
Here is an initial FAQ:
I’ve registered for Amsterdam; what do I do?
Your Amsterdam registration is being updated to the July/August date, so if you can attend in July/August, you’re all set for registration.
We are working with our host hotels on a process to cancel current reservations. We will advise attendees on the next steps shortly here and via email. Once the new dates are finalized, we will upload new reservation links, and you can directly make new reservations.
If you are unable to attend in July/August, please cancel your registration online by logging back into your registration using your confirmation number and select “unregister” and you will be refunded in full. You will also need to cancel your hotel directly. Please email events@... if you encounter any issues.
I’m sponsoring in Amsterdam; what do I do?
We sincerely hope that all 180 Amsterdam sponsors will be able to work with the new date in July/August. The sponsor team will be in touch in the next couple of weeks with a contract addendum covering the new date. If you are unable to accommodate the new date, we will work with you to apply your sponsorship to a future CNCF event or, if necessary, provide a refund. This also applies to organizations hosting a Day 0 co-located event.
I’m a diversity scholar, media, analyst, or speaker who received travel funding; what do I do?
We’ll be contacting you directly in the next week to assist in changing your travel plans.
I’m a speaker; what do I do?
We are planning to keep the schedule the same. The co-chairs will work with speakers who need to make adjustments to their topics to cover advances in the intervening six months, but the topic of the talk needs to be the same.
If you are unable to travel on the new dates, and you don’t have a co-speaker who can do the talk, we will backfill your talk from the waitlist. When choosing waitlisted talks, the co-chairs may also pull from the recently-completed CFP to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China.
I’ve registered for a Day 0 co-located event, what do I do?
We are in the process of confirming with the organizers that each of the Day 0 events will go forward as planned. We will inform attendees of any that are being canceled and encourage them to register for a different Day 0 event.
I have other questions

In your response to the annual review request, I just created PR https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/382. We would like to request a slot in the upcoming TOC meeting if available. As part of it, the project team would like to combine the review with a proposal for incubation status.

Re: Postponing KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Amsterdam
While I understand Andreas frustration, I think this was the right call. I just wanted to thank the CNCF and all Board of Directors for their hard work and for taking an incredibly hard choice in the public best interest.
I just wanted to let you know that, at this challenging time, we, as CNCF members and KubeCon EU sponsors, are fully supporting you in this decision.

Andreas, the CNCF Board of Directors and staff have made this call as we reached out to a lot of community members and sponsors to come up with the best solution for the safety of our community. Given recent events across the world and even in the country we are hosting the event, postponing the EU event versus cancelling seems prudent.
Thank you for understanding and we hope to see you at the event in the summer.
Sorry guys…
But somehow i feeling lost now.. How did we just switch from a discussion of a plan B and what kind to use to a sudden movement of the whole event. And all of this after just 2 days when we got an email mentioning,
That everything is fine and we can be informed of the kubecon side that everything will be done to keep all attendees save.
It is not too long since I am a sponsor, but this behaviour somehow seems as pure reaction and panic oriented. I don’t even know how I can see this as cool headed and interpret this as a thorough decision.
It feels like we switch from feeling quite fine, through a discussion and then while originally discussing a plan B we already implemented plan B. But without any concrete situation forcing us to do this.
Has anyone calculated the impact on all day 0 Events, Or sponsors of this event? All the effort already put in place and all the preparations?`
Just to clarify. I am a full supporter of security first and even a cancelation if needed. But for me this is pure panic nothing I can understand and to be honest quite confusing…
What in all this is professional behaviour?
The decision is made and we have to accept this. But as an sponsor/investor to such an event, I really don’t know what to think of such reaction…
Just my 2 cent which hat do be written out of some frustration….

We are in the process of confirming with the organizers that each of the Day 0 events will go forward as planned. We will inform attendees of any that are being canceled and encourage them to register for a different Day 0 event.
I have other questions
Attendees can email events@..., speakers can email speakers@... and sponsors can email sponsorservices@.... We request your patience as we deal with the volume of inquiries.

Re: Postponing KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Amsterdam

Chris Aniszczyk
Andreas, the CNCF Board of Directors and staff have made this call as we reached out to a lot of community members and sponsors to come up with the best solution for the safety of our community. Given recent events across the world and even in the country we are hosting the event, postponing the EU event versus cancelling seems prudent.
Thank you for understanding and we hope to see you at the event in the summer.

Sorry guys…
But somehow i feeling lost now.. How did we just switch from a discussion of a plan B and what kind to use to a sudden movement of the whole event. And all of this after just 2 days
when we got an email mentioning,
That everything is fine and we can be informed of the kubecon side that everything will be done to keep all attendees save.
It is not too long since I am a sponsor, but this behaviour somehow seems as pure reaction and panic oriented. I don’t even know how I can see this as cool headed and interpret this
as a thorough decision.
It feels like we switch from feeling quite fine, through a discussion and then while originally discussing a plan B we already implemented plan B. But without any concrete situation
forcing us to do this.
Has anyone calculated the impact on all day 0 Events, Or sponsors of this event? All the effort already put in place and all the preparations?`
Just to clarify. I am a full supporter of security first and even a cancelation if needed. But for me this is pure panic nothing I can understand and to be honest quite confusing…
What in all this is professional behaviour?
The decision is made and we have to accept this. But as an sponsor/investor to such an event, I really don’t know what to think of such reaction…
Just my 2 cent which hat do be written out of some frustration….

Betreff: [cncf-toc] Postponing KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Amsterdam
Dear Cloud Native Community:
The health, safety, and wellbeing of our attendees and staff are our highest priority, and we know that what makes KubeCon + CloudNativeCon
such a great event is the people who gather there. Thus, after discussions with many community members, we have made the difficult decision to postpone KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Amsterdam (originally set for March 29 to April 2, 2020) to instead be held in
July or August, 2020. (We’re finalizing the date and will announce it shortly.) We expect that by mid-summer, there will be more clarity on the effectiveness of control measures to enable safe travel to industry events like this one.
Additionally, we are, unfortunately, canceling KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit Shanghai in July 2020 due to the uncertainty around
travel to China and our ability to assemble the speakers, sponsors, and attendees necessary for a successful event. CNCF remains deeply committed to engaging with our Chinese community and we are looking forward to again holding KubeCon + CloudNativeCon +
Open Source Summit in China in 2021.
Our
North America event
in Boston will occur as planned, November 17-20, 2020.
These events are important to all of us. Although nearly all the implementation work for CNCF-hosted projects is conducted online, in-person
events are invaluable for making and strengthening the connections that enable our technical communities to thrive. Our sponsors, project maintainers, technical audience, and many community members consider it one of the best networking, learning, and marketing
opportunities of the year. CNCF reinvests the income from events to directly support CNCF’s hosted projects. Some recent examples include funding the Kubernetes
security audit,
bug bounty program,
and Jepsen testing of etcd. The services CNCF provides
to its hosted projects are detailed in the latest CNCF Annual Report.
Thank you for your patience as we work through the issues regarding these changes. Please continue to support each other in the community,
wash your hands, and we look forward to seeing you in July/August.
- CNCF staff
Here is an initial FAQ:
I’ve registered for Amsterdam; what do I do?
Your Amsterdam registration is being updated to the July/August date, so if you can attend in July/August, you’re all set for registration.
We are working with our host hotels on a process to cancel current reservations. We will advise attendees on the next steps shortly here and
via email. Once the new dates are finalized, we will upload new reservation links, and you can directly make new reservations.
If you are unable to attend in July/August, please cancel your registration online by
logging back into your registration
using your confirmation number and select “unregister” and you will be refunded in full. You will also need to cancel your hotel directly.
Please email
events@... if you encounter any issues.
I’m sponsoring in Amsterdam; what do I do?
We sincerely hope that all 180 Amsterdam sponsors will be able to work with the new date in July/August. The sponsor team will be in touch
in the next couple of weeks with a contract addendum covering the new date. If you are unable to accommodate the new date, we will work with you to apply your sponsorship to a future CNCF event or, if necessary, provide a refund. This also applies to organizations
hosting a Day 0 co-located event.
I’m a diversity scholar, media, analyst, or speaker who received travel funding; what do I do?
We’ll be contacting you directly in the next week to assist in changing your travel plans.
I’m a speaker; what do I do?
We are planning to keep the schedule the same. The co-chairs will work with speakers who need to make adjustments to their topics to cover
advances in the intervening six months, but the topic of the talk needs to be the same.
If you are unable to travel on the new dates, and you don’t have a co-speaker who can do the talk, we will backfill your talk from the waitlist.
When choosing waitlisted talks, the co-chairs may also pull from the recently-completed CFP to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China.

Hi Erin,
This particular discussion happened at the beginning of the TOC meeting. We specifically got combined when we were raised for discussion, and then we got skipped after discussing the hub that got raised yesterday. I raised a lot of these expectations during the SIG App Delivery meeting today - there was no private meeting outside of anything known publicly, and was focused around hitting topics that we've presented on in the SIG in the past. Any new content I'll also make sure is publicly available. :)

I know the SIG process is new and we are continually learning and improving but there is a strong desire from the community at large to ensure transparency across the board and I do think it would help make sure SIGs and TOCs are aligned. Thanks, Erin

KUDO also got combined with OF on the SIG App Delivery slide from a discussion perspective and then was never followed up on. I've since talked with Michelle, and have meeting times setup with other TOC members and am finalizing our due diligence docs. Is there anything we're missing? We got completely left out and I'd like to ensure a smooth process so I don't miss anything.

Looking through the PR (indidating it was to come up for the vote) and then to hear there is a secondary conversation with Dan (I assume, Kohn)....I am feeling lost here.
To be clear, I was not a call with Matt and Dan, so I have no reference to what this is about. I was on the discussion with the SIG and I was under the impression they were in support.
Can someone please clearly articulate what "Dan is figuring out." in the PR so it's consumable for the community. I feel we are not being fully transparent with this status and next steps for the project.
Thanks, Erin
