Sounds great. We're ready to call for a vote then if you'll do the honors @Amye.

Hi Liz, Michelle, all,

The discussion in https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/discussions/620 may run for a while. Current project descriptions for Flux are a little vague (my fault) and don't account for recent developments like Flagger being included; but I don't think they mischaracterise Flux. If they are not quite fit for official communications, we'll happily work with CNCF folks to tighten them up -- or indeed, put more effort into bringing #620 to a conclusion.
As I understand it the idea is to include Flagger as part of Flux in this move to Incubation? It's part of the gIthub.com/fluxcd org. But a couple of notes on the Flagger docs that I would like to see resolved before incubation: * The intro page says "Flagger is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project." but doesn't mention that it's part of Flux * Uses the Weave logo (though I see this is noted as a to-do in the DD doc)
These are now resolved, as Stefan reported. Looks like lots of work went into helping users transition from Flux v1 to v2. Do we know what proportion of end users have made the migration? When the Technology Radar put it in the "adopt" category, would this have referred to v1, v2, or a mixture?
There is good circumstantial evidence that people are migrating from v1, in addition to those coming new to Flux v2:
- there's a steady stream of people asking about using image update automation (a Flux v1 feature that's only recently been added to Flux v2). Some of those people mention holding off migration until they can use the automation, and some people appear to be migrating in two stages (without automation first, and planning to add the automation when ready); - similarly, people asking about updating from Helm operator (v1) to Helm controller (v2) -- this was made more urgent by Helm2 being deprecated, of course;
However, I'm afraid we don't have telemetry or other data from which to calculate the proportion of Flux v1 end users that have migrated.
The CNCF Technology Radar is based on reports from Flux v1 users only -- v2 was at version 0.0.1 at the time the radar was published. I feel that being placed in the "Adopt" category of the radar is not simply a one-off endorsement, but sets the bar to keep measuring ourselves against. In consequence, there's a strong impetus to help people migrate their systems to v2, and give them plenty of time, so they don't feel stranded and let down.
Something of a small aside - I think the first Q&A in this FAQ about Argo / Flux collaboration reflects the current status, but do the subsequent questions reflect what the aspirations were originally in the Flux/Argo collaboration? And those are no longer being worked on together, right?
Thanks for pointing that out -- after the first question, the FAQs there are out of date. Daniel has given things a nudge.
Cheers, Michael
Hello,
Flux is applying for incubation status:
DD has been reviewed by myself and SIG App Delivery. We've also conducted interviews with end
users. We are supportive of Flux going into incubation. We are now calling for the 2 week public comment period
prior to the vote.
Thank you,

Vote - renaming CNCF SIGs to TAGs
In this week's meeting we talked about renaming CNCF SIGs to TAGs (Technical Advisory Group) to avoid confusion with the pre-existing Kubernetes SIGs. As discussed, the current confusion is real, especially where SIGs with the same name exist in both places.
We also talked about holding votes through comments on GitHub. We are using this vote as an experiment of that mechanism, so please cast your vote on this issue (and not as response to this mailing list). https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/549
Thanks, Liz

Re: security & CNCF projects
Luke A Hinds <lhinds@...>
Not on the TOC, so hope it's ok to comment.
I have the same concerns as Liz, quite often metrics are gathered without all factors considered.
Take kubernetes for example, huge code base, huge user base and so many eyes looking to find vulnerabilities, compounded even more by a financial incentive with the bug bounty system. I monitor the hackone queue as a PSC member, and they come in thick and fast everyday (pleased to say most of them are invalids).
This naturally results in a high vulnerability count, but it's not as simple as a high count equals bad project, if just means more have been discovered, not necessarily produced.
I am also sceptical of using code scanners to assess the security posture of a project, great tools to use, but they do get it wrong and unless the false positives are constantly pruned out, they will make a project look much worse than it is. I can say this even after maintaining an OSS scanner project that hits around 100k downloads a week [0]

It's pretty hard to tell, but I think this is telling me that the latest release of Kubernetes has 9 high sev vulns, not 261
These pretty graphs are pointless if they don't convey useful information. IMO, the most useful result for an end user is whether the current release has vulnerabilities. What maintainers need to see is what vulnerabilities exist in the currently-supported set of releases, plus the main branch. Neither of these are currently easy to access, as presented.

Alexis, the tool is freely available just like a variety of other security tools that CNCF projects use, from LFX Security (white labeled Snyk), Snyk, FOSSA, CodeQL, WhiteSource etc, lots of great options out there that we all support and encourage projects to check out. This tool is simply white labeled Snyk so it's nothing necessarily new and properly labeled here: https://github.com/cncf/servicedesk#tools - projects use what is best for them always. We will have it setup for Flux soon for you to experiment with both inside and outside of GitHub.
The LFX Security work is still in "beta" and a work in progress so keep that in mind.

Hi all
Has anyone looked at this?
How do we see project data? I wanted to take a look at flux. I had to create a login. Then, I had to "request" a view, which turned out to mean filing a JIRA ticket. Since then,

Can we have something more open & useful please?

Re: security & CNCF projects

Chris Aniszczyk
Alexis, the tool is freely available just like a variety of other security tools that CNCF projects use, from LFX Security (white labeled Snyk), Snyk, FOSSA, CodeQL, WhiteSource etc, lots of great options out there that we all support and encourage projects to check out. This tool is simply white labeled Snyk so it's nothing necessarily new and properly labeled here: https://github.com/cncf/servicedesk#tools - projects use what is best for them always. We will have it setup for Flux soon for you to experiment with both inside and outside of GitHub.
The LFX Security work is still in "beta" and a work in progress so keep that in mind.

Now that we don’t have FPs, can we just publish the data? Please do not assume that end users will not run their own scans too
+1 to what Liz said here, this should be opt-in for project maintainers like any tool
Can we please just leave this as a per project decision as any other tool as we decided last time this came up, the TOC list is the wrong place for this discussion
Thanks!

We can definitely put a big Beta tag on the service. We are adding code secrets scanning from another vendor partnership in the next couple of months. We are planning to provide a "regex" filter to maintainers to eliminate FPs globally as well.

Can we also more clearly flag that this is a work in progress?

The scan data from Snyk right now is fairly clean as they curate and weed out false positives proactively. In the tool, we do have flags on the bugs to dismiss it (in case it's still a false positive).

Idea: It would be cool if all CNCF projects had the same metadata for representing "maintainers".
If that was standardized, some tool could ingest and compare against LFIDs.
