+1 for "review", +1 for learning from ACM & academia

I still think we cannot pretend to be unbiased. Even algos are biased.

Thanks for kicking off this thread, Gareth.

I'm reminded of a couple things when it comes to attribution and bias:

Academic and society papers (e.g., ACM) have author attribution including institution. The ACM template goes so far as to include the department. https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
In journalistic publications associations and their context are documented. Whether they are the reporters (e.g., they have shares in a company they are writing about) or even those of the publication they are writing for (e.g., the publications parent company owns who they are writing about).


I would hope we have a review process for any documentation being produced. We review PRs, editors review books and papers, and we should have a documented process for reviewing documentation produced by the TOC/SIGs.

Would a template for these papers make sense with a template section on the authors leading or requiring them to disclose their organizations be useful?

I know the apps space has A LOT of projects, products, and companies. I've seen numerous people share different ideas of what they think should be in it. Some are looking for any little thing that can be a competitive advantage to differentiate themselves. I would suggest a good process to look out for the best interest of the end users while attempting to limit bias or at least disclose it well.

Sometimes people’s biases might not even be obvious to their co-collaborators, so I think it would be appropriate to have some explicit guidelines that individuals are expected to flag up when they have a COI.

For example if a SIG is doing an assessment on project X, contributors might explicitly say

“project X competes with project Y that I’m a maintainer of / I have contributed substantially to ” or
“project X is potentially competitive with a product from my company”.

And then

“as a result I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take part in this assessment” or
“as a result I am knowledgeable in the area, so I’d like to contribute, but please flag if you think my biases are showing”

We could state that documents coming from CNCF TOC & SIGs are marked
as "Authored by members of the CNCF community", and list all
contributors and affiliations. This would be in contrast to documents
commissioned by the CNCF organisation which are published as official
CNCF docs, authored by the CNCF staff.

Hi All

On a couple of calls yesterday (SIG Security, and discussions about
the proposed SIG App Delivery), the topic of bias or conflict of
interest came up. In discussion we thought it worth bringing to the
ToC, so here is an email.

One of the things being discussed as part of the SIG App Delivery
mission is "develop informational resources like guides, tutorials and
white papers". SIG Security produces recommendations for projects and
the ToC and is also looking at guidance. I'm sure other SIGs have in
mind to do something similar.

Part of the power of CNCF is it's a shared place for folks to
genuinely work together. But I don't think we should deny or otherwise
hide our bias, especially as we get into CNCF branded and published
material. I think most people want to do the right thing, but having
some guidance and discussion would help. Consider a few of the
following:

1. Conducting a private security review of a product associated with a
competitor
2. Guidance on <CNCF project> and <Cloud provider> written by <Cloud provider>
3. Tutorial on <CNCF project> which mentions <non-CNCF project>
4. Comparisons of <CNCF projects> and <non-CNCF projects>
5. Guidance on <CNCF project> which competes with <other CNCF project>
6. Guidance on <CNCF project> which competes with <non-CNCF project>
associated with <authors employee>
7. Organising a <CNCF branded event> which competes directly with
<CNCF member> event

Non of these are simply good or bad, context always matters. A few
things that could be discussed (not concrete suggestions, more to
start a conversation.)

1. All guidance carries authors and contributors and their affiliations
2. Contributors sign some impartiality document (social more than legal)
3. Clear review process which explicitly takes in bias
4. No single-vendor content attributed to CNCF

I think the ToC are probably _very_ aware of this sort of thing, but
as CNCF SIGs expand, more folks probably need to consider the same
things. I think CNCF affiliation is different from project
affiliation. Doing that collectively would be good. What processes do
we need in place? And are they SIG specific or more general? Is this
something folks care about?

Thanks

Gareth

[cncf-enduser] Call for sponsors and speakers: Helm Summit, PromCon, EnvoyCon, and 4 other KubeCon Day 0 events

Chris Aniszczyk
 

FYI for prospectuses around CNCF project related events for organizations that are interested

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Dan Kohn <dan@...>
Date: Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 11:04 AM
Subject: [cncf-enduser] Call for sponsors and speakers: Helm Summit, PromCon, EnvoyCon, and 4 other KubeCon Day 0 events
To: Dan Kohn <dan@...>
Cc: sponsor <sponsor@...>


CNCF is helping to organize 7 project-specific events: Helm Summit (Amsterdam, September 11-12), PromCon (Munich, November 7-8), EnvoyCon, ServiceMeshCon, Observability Practictioners Summit, FoundationDB Summit, and Cloud Native Security Day. The latter 5 are KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Day 0 co-located events, taking place in San Diego on November 18.


To ensure the success of these invaluable events, I’m asking for your help. 


First, sponsorship helps us bring these events to the developers, architects, and technical leaders in the industry. It gets your company in front of this audience. You can download the comprehensive prospectus for details (and it’s attached) and see page 10 for a summary. Please followup to sponsor@... or schedule a call with Kathy to discuss sponsorship opportunities.  


Second, the CFPs for four of these events are still open. Please encourage your team to apply. Below is a summary of the opportunities:


Helm Summit - September 11-12 in Amsterdam  

Sold out last year with 300 attendees and is expected to sell out again this year. Diamond ($15k + 5min keynote) and Platinum ($10k) sponsorships are available. Deadline to sponsor is August 12. 


PromCon - November 7-8 in Munich

Expected to have 200+ attendees. Diamond ($11k), Gold ($3,250), Silver ($1,250), Social, and Diversity sponsorships available. The CFP closes July 31. Deadline to sponsor is October 4.


KubeCon + CloudNativeCon San Diego Day 0 Co-located Events held on November 18: 


EnvoyCon 

Had over 350 attendees last year. Diamond ($20k + 5min speaking opp), Platinum ($15k), Gold ($10k), Silver ($5k), Social, and Diversity sponsorships are available. Deadline to sponsor is September 20.


ServiceMeshCon

ServiceMeshCon is a new event this year. We are anticipating 200 attendees. Diamond (sold out), Platinum ($10k), and Gold ($5k) sponsorships are available. The CFP closes August 30. Deadline to sponsor is September 20.


Observability Practitioners Summit - covering OpenTelemetry/OpenTracing, Prometheus, and Fluentd

There were 220 attendees last year and we are expecting 600 this year. Diamond ($25k + 10min lightning talk), Platinum ($15k), and Gold ($10k) sponsorships available. The CFP closes August 30. Deadline to sponsor is September 20.


Cloud Native Security Day

Cloud Native Security Day is a new event this year. We are anticipating 100 attendees. The sessions are being curated by the CNCF Security SIG.  Diamond ($20k + 5min keynote), Platinum ($15k), and Gold ($10k) sponsorships available. Deadline to sponsor is September 20.


As always, I appreciate your support and involvement in CNCF-organized events.

Re: Project Process flow chart....

Alex Chircop
 

Hi,

Further to this thread, the CNCF Storage SIG has been prepping a simple questionnaire:


The idea was to provide a baseline that would help a project to prepare for a presentation to the SIG, and then helps the SIG share the collated information with the TOC.

All feedback and comments would be appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Alex

Folks,
I'm quite tardy, but I created the proposed flow-chart for the project adoption process as discussed 2 meetings ago:


Comments please!

Thanks

Hi, 

I would suggest the workflow states that the project must exist and have a minimum of adoption, otherwise, it could lead to "elevator pitch" to validate ideas.

Hi Dmitri, here’s a write-up: https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/sigs/cncf-sigs.md 


To everyone: there was a similar-ish question a week or two ago about the roles of user groups, TOC, working groups, SIGs and so on. I wonder if we need a better introductory explanation (illustrated guide, even?) on the main CNCF website? For the TOC parts it could link to the more detailed docs that we maintain on GitHub.

Hi, my name is Dimitri Mitropoulos and I'm an engineer at Weaveworks.

I was talking to my friends the other day about the cool CNCF SIGs that I'd heard mentioned.  Later I tried to find a description of specifically what the SIGs are for.  Where can I find such a thing?

I'm hoping to learn what the ultimate place is of the SIGs in terms of decision making power.  That is to say, do the SIGs make decisions that are then acted upon or do they make informed recommendations that may or may not be accepted by the TOC?

Thanks!
