Re: Sandbox Projects included from September 8 TOC meeting
The OpenKruise project agree with the Sig App's assessment completely. We, too, believe while up-streaming some of the features to the core workloads is possible, the majority of the controllers and features is best to remain as a separate project.
Best regards,

Re: Sandbox Projects included from September 8 TOC meeting
We discussed OpenKruise in Kubernetes SIG Apps. I can now answer questions asked of SIG Apps. In the meeting what OpenKruise is building was discussed along with how things could operate between SIG Apps as a sandbox project or K8s SIG sponsored project.
We're happy to see these experiments and want to support them, but we wondered if it makes more sense for them to belong within the purview of the Kubernetes project rather than as a standalone project?
Experiments happen all over. For example, OpenShift's work lead to what we now have as the Workloads APIs. We don't believe they need or should be part of the Kubernetes project. It is perfectly fine for them to be either k8s SIG sponsored projects, CNCF projects, or some other project.
In this case OpenKruise desires to operate as a sandbox project and SIG Apps is supportive of that. We have a path to collaborate as needed.
My understanding is that OpenKruise intends to eventually contribute successful experiments to upstream Kubernetes anyway.
This is more difficult. Upstream Kubernetes won't likely accept every new type of controller. The direction is generally to have them installed as 3rd party controllers. The bar to move something into core Kubernetes is now very high.
Some successful features may make it into Kubernetes core. Others will likely always be recommended to be handled as 3rd party.
OpenKruise can have successful 3rd party CRDs and controllers that do not go into Kubernetes itself. I expect this case to be likely.
If the Kubernetes project would actually prefer these experiments to take place in a separate project, does that make OpenKruise the natural home for all workload-related CRD ideas, or some other scope?
SIG Apps does not believe there should be one home for "all workload-related CRD ideas". They can happen in many places and innovation can happen under many projects. How those projects organize around people and governance may vary.
I hope this helps answer the questions of SIG Apps. If there are more I'm happy to try and chase them down.
And, thanks for pointing OpenKruise at SIG Apps. It lead to a good conversation.
Regards,
Matt Farina

(I am familiar with the team behind the project, and the background of the project).
For any sizable companies using Kubeternetes, it is not uncommon to have tens of generic controllers that are not specific to any particular application.
The motivation of OpenKruise project is to find a subset of these controllers that are commonly useful to a number of users rather than just one company. So we can reduce some duplication, improve collaboration and help the community to grow.
Yes, if some enhancements or workload types are popular enough that everyone wants then, we hope them to be upstreamed to Kubernetes project itself.

OpenKruise is experimenting with a number of workload-related resource definitions, some of which are enhancements to existing core K8s resources. We're happy to see these experiments and want to support them, but we wondered if it makes more sense for them to belong within the purview of the Kubernetes project rather than as a standalone project? My understanding is that OpenKruise intends to eventually contribute successful experiments to upstream Kubernetes anyway.
There's also a question about project scope. If the Kubernetes project would actually prefer these experiments to take place in a separate project, does that make OpenKruise the natural home for all workload-related CRD ideas, or some other scope?
The discussion was recorded (I'm sure Amy can provide the link if she hasn't already circulated it) and that might be worth listening to for more context, if you have the time.

OpenKruise has reached out to Kubernetes SIG Apps and we will discuss the project.
For context, why would the TOC suggest OpenKruise fall under k8s instead of being it's own CNCF sandbox project?

Dataset Lifecycle Framework - next steps: TOC conversation with SIG Storage, Kubernetes COSI KEP
OpenKruise - discussion with Kubernetes Steering Committee needed, SIG Apps - should this be a subproject?
Predator - no clear roadmap, resubmit with clearer roadmap
SchemaHero - no clear roadmap, resubmit with clearer roadmap
Keylime - scheduled for next closed meeting, September 22
As part of this process, we've now added a new question to the sandbox proposal form: "Why do you want to contribute your project to the CNCF? What would you like to get out of being part of the CNCF?"
Welcome to these new sandbox projects!

To your comment, the OPA governance model protects against one organization unfairly controlling any part of the project (including the open-policy-agent/opa repository) by allowing any maintainer (from any repository) to call for an update to the model (this is covered by the "Changes in Governance" section).
The governance doc says "All changes in Governance require a 2/3 majority organization vote from all areas of expertise." The model we have in place balances (i) the desire for experts on a repository to make decisions for that repository and (ii) for the OPA contributor community to take action if one or more organizations starts misbehaving. Sustained contributors for each repository make decisions for what goes into that repository, but if those contributors begin making decisions that are not in the interest of the broader community, the OPA governance model allows maintainers from other repositories to step in and take corrective action. The model is based on the premise that maintainers are acting in the best interest of the community, but it recognizes that exceptions can occur and accounts for that. https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#changes-in-governance

Gatekeeper is not a separate project--it's a part of the OPA project. Microsoft and Google are maintainers of Gatekeeper as well as OPA, meaning all three organizations have the voting rights that go along with maintainership as outlined in our MAINTAINERS.md and GOVERNANCE.md files: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.mdhttps://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md
As far as plans for more organizations go, we have a governance process defined that outlines how new maintainers can be added. It requires a proposal from an existing maintainer and a vote from the other maintainers. That would likely occur after someone has made sustained contributions over a period of time. Note, the governance model allows for individuals to be granted permission to admin repos on GitHub without being granted full voting rights to onboard external efforts within OPA (this is how open-policy-agent/conftest is currently managed.)

Looking at the maintainer status on the project, I wonder if there’s a plan to add more organizations? I believe there’s only one organization (Styra) with maintainer status on the OPA project while Google and Microsoft only maintain the Gatekeeper project (my understanding is that Gatekeeper is a separate project).
I think it will be great to see more than one organization sharing responsibility and leadership for this important project.
Good luck, Maor.

As far as plans for more organizations go, we have a governance process defined that outlines how new maintainers can be added.

Great news and congratulations to the OPA team, great project and a cornerstone for the cloud native enterprise.
Looking at the maintainer status on the project, I wonder if there’s a plan to add more organizations? I believe there’s only one organization (Styra) with maintainer status on the OPA project while Google and Microsoft only maintain the Gatekeeper project (my understanding is that Gatekeeper is a separate project).
I think it will be great to see more than one organization sharing responsibility and leadership for this important project.
Good luck, Maor.

To your comment, the OPA governance model protects against one organization unfairly controlling any part of the project (including the open-policy-agent/opa repository) by allowing any maintainer (from any repository) to call for an update to the model (this is covered by the "Changes in Governance" section).
The governance doc says "All changes in Governance require a 2/3 majority organization vote from all areas of expertise." The model we have in place balances (i) the desire for experts on a repository to make decisions for that repository and (ii) for the OPA contributor community to take action if one or more organizations starts misbehaving. Sustained contributors for each repository make decisions for what goes into that repository, but if those contributors begin making decisions that are not in the interest of the broader community, the OPA governance model allows maintainers from other repositories to step in and take corrective action. The model is based on the premise that maintainers are acting in the best interest of the community, but it recognizes that exceptions can occur and accounts for that. https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#changes-in-governance

| Name | GitHub | Email | Organization | Repositories/Area of Expertise | Added/Renewed On |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ash Narkar | @ashutosh-narkar | anarkar4387@... | Styra | opa, opa-istio-plugin | 2020-04-14 |
| Craig Tabita | @ctab | ctab@... | Google | gatekeeper, gatekeeper-library | 2020-04-14 |
| Max Smythe | @maxsmythe | smythe@... | Google | frameworks/constraints, gatekeeper, gatekeeper-library | 2020-04-14 |
| Patrick East | @patrick-east | east.patrick@... | Styra | opa | 2020-04-14 |
| Rita Zhang | @ritazh | rita.z.zhang@... | Microsoft | frameworks/constraints, gatekeeper, gatekeeper-library | 2020-04-14 |
| Sertaç Özercan | @sozercan | sozercan@... | Microsoft | gatekeeper, gatekeeper-library | 2020-04-14 |
| Tim Hinrichs | @timothyhinrichs | timothy.l.hinrichs@... | Styra | all repositories | 2020-04-14 |
| Torin Sandall | @tsandall | torinsandall@... | Styra | all repositories | 2020-04-14 | We also have non-voting folks w/ write access on certain repos, which is valuable for onboarding
new contributors to admin the project on a day-to-day basis w/o inheriting full voting rights that are essentially a conflict resolution mechanism for when other attempts to reach consensus fail. Here's a summary of contributor organizations w/ write across across major repos under the open-policy-agent org: * open-policy-agent/conftest - DataWorkz, Plex, Red Hat,Snyk, Styra * open-policy-agent/frameworks - Google, Microsoft, Styra * open-policy-agent/gatekeeper - Google, Microsoft, Styra * open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library - Google, Microsoft, Styra * open-policy-agent/opa - Styra * open-policy-agent/opa-envoy-plugin - Styra We're always looking for folks that are interested in making long-term sustained contributions. If you're interested, please get in touch.

Gatekeeper is not a separate project--it's a part of the OPA project. Microsoft and Google are maintainers of Gatekeeper as well as OPA, meaning all three organizations have the voting rights that go along with maintainership as outlined in our MAINTAINERS.md and GOVERNANCE.md files: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.mdhttps://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md
As far as plans for more organizations go, we have a governance process defined that outlines how new maintainers can be added. It requires a proposal from an existing maintainer and a vote from the other maintainers. That would likely occur after someone has made sustained contributions over a period of time. Note, the governance model allows for individuals to be granted permission to admin repos on GitHub without being granted full voting rights to onboard external efforts within OPA (this is how open-policy-agent/conftest is currently managed.)

Great news and congratulations to the OPA team, great project and a cornerstone for the cloud native enterprise.
Looking at the maintainer status on the project, I wonder if there’s a plan to add more organizations? I believe there’s only one organization (Styra) with maintainer status on the OPA project while Google and Microsoft only maintain the Gatekeeper project (my understanding is that Gatekeeper is a separate project).
I think it will be great to see more than one organization sharing responsibility and leadership for this important project.
Good luck, Maor.

Hi Maor,
Gatekeeper is not a separate project--it's a part of the OPA project. Microsoft and Google are maintainers of Gatekeeper as well as OPA, meaning all three organizations have the voting rights that go along with maintainership as outlined in our MAINTAINERS.md and GOVERNANCE.md files: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.mdhttps://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md
As far as plans for more organizations go, we have a governance process defined that outlines how new maintainers can be added. It requires a proposal from an existing maintainer and a vote from the other maintainers. That would likely occur after someone has made sustained contributions over a period of time. Note, the governance model allows for individuals to be granted permission to admin repos on GitHub without being granted full voting rights to onboard external efforts within OPA (this is how open-policy-agent/conftest is currently managed.)
