I'm not convinced that in people's minds, or practically, v1.0 and Graduated mean similar things. As a concrete example, Kubernetes went to v 1.0 several years before it graduated.  In my mind, version numbers tend to denote the maturity of the software. Graduation levels add to that the maturity of the process and community around the software.

I do however think that there would be value striving for some amount of consistency in the semantics of version numbering across CNCF projects (possibly) to avoid the kind of confusion that Liz ran into.  I don't know exactly what that would look like, but I imagine something along the lines of:

- pre 1.0 denotes "not recommended for production use"

- post x.y denotes "go for it, people are starting to use it successfully in production"

- post p.q denotes "rock solid, widely used in production - almost definitely graduated unless there are extenuating circumstances"

... and so on might make sense.

This detail may well have been debated in depth elsewhere in the CNCF, in which case I apologise for not being up to speed on that :-)

+1 imo a graduated project should have some documented backward compatibility guarantees and semantic versioning helps denote this. It has been a best practice on all the projects I've worked on. I'd be supportive of adding a criteria around stability and defining what that means and recommending using a semantic version to denote this for graduation.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [cncf-toc] What do we mean by “Version 1.0”?

 

Hi folks, 

Someone I spoke with today said something along the lines “if <this project> is stable, why is it still at v0.something?” and that got me thinking - does it make any sense to expect Graduated projects to be at v1.0 or above? 

I know this is easily gamed, in the sense that project maintainers can release any version number they like, but let’s set that aside for now and assume that maintainers are well intentioned. I wonder if the signals that are sent by releasing a v1.0 are similar to what Graduation means?

(I have not checked the version numbers of existing graduated projects)

Thoughts?

It wasn't in the sandbox, they went straight for incubation: https://github.com/datawire/ambassador

I know it can be confusing as they were originally considered a sandbox contribution but decided to go straight for incubation.

We will work with the project and come up with a new name based on this feedback.

The name is an intrinsic part of the project.

Hi Joe, Matt, many thanks for your comments.

@Matt, I remember you raising this in the DD document comments, and @Chris Aniszczyk suggested this would be acceptable under the trademark policy (e.g. "X for Envoy"). He suggested that we use a short name like "IC4E" in the docs and new website that would be created for the project.

We originally looked to ingress-nginx as inspiration, since the community seems to have accepted this as a name even though it’s well-understood it’s not “official”. We also wanted to with a descriptive name instead of an abstract name, because we thought it would be easier for people to understand.

Best wishes,

Daniel

I don't think we have to fully pause everything but it's up to the TOC here, if the TOC is saying "choose another name than IC4EP or something else that wouldn't confuse end users" before we accept the project fully then the project can do that in parallel as we onboard it as part of staff duties. We can work with the project to pick up a name and run it by the TOC again.

IMHO I view this a bit similar to a project coming in that may have to change a license to Apache-2 etc (like grpc did as an example), just part of the onboarding process.
