Re: Incubation discussion

Brian Grant
 

One thing that occurred to me: CNCF may invest significant resources in a project while it is in incubation. Are we ok with projects walking away after such investment?

Yes that would be implied: so full transfer isn't obligatory on entering Incubation. At least for now.

In my view no project would exit Incubation if the project leads were opposed to continuing. So this rule is arguably an explicit version of a hidden assumption.

Re: prometheus

Brian Grant
 

From the discussion, it sounded like we should add a couple items to the proposal template:

1. A discussion of how the project would complement / integrate with / overlap with other CNCF projects and perhaps the scope of CNCF's mission more generally.

2. A tentative list of the project's needs/asks from CNCF. Especially important if we do make incubation graduation a mutual decision.

Re: Incubation discussion

Jonathan Boulle <jonathan.boulle@...>
 

This proposal is fine in itself, but just to round out the other points made in the discussion: it doesn't quite address the issue of how projects might deal with decisions made by the TOC post-incubation. Something maybe to table now but discuss in future as it becomes clearer what a project being in CNCF means and as the first projects look to leave incubation.

+1 on 1) and 2), anyway.

"What are we looking for in a project"?

alexis richardson
 

Hi

This was raised at the end of today's call.

I attempted to provide a qualitative overview of this question in the presentation at the Linux Collaboration Summit. There is a link to the slides in today's TOC minutes.  Obviously that stuff is super high level. But the board did give positive feedback on it at the f2f so let's take it as a starting point.

A set of qualities doesn't suffice. We also need some project categories. Eg "storage apis".

RFC: Working Group Process v1.0

Chris Aniszczyk
 

From today's TOC call, here's a current draft of how working groups would work.

It would be great if people can comment on it so we can get to consensus by the next meeting, as there's a desire to form working groups around certain topics (e.g., service broker / storage). I think this would be a great avenue to get small groups of people focused on topics, members and non-members alike, with a simple set of rules.

My goal would be to take a vote on this next week so we can get the folks that are interested in forming these to move forward with them. I'll also work on a rough proposal for the first working group so we have something to look at it.
