Nate Waddington
 

Hello everyone!

The LFX Mentorship '22 Summer semester is open now open for project ideas: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/main/lfx-mentorship/2022/02-Summer 

We have compressed the administration schedule to work around the LF All hands and KubeCon events this year. The semester is the same length as it has been in previous years.

Project submission and application timeline:
  • mentorships available on LFX Mentorship: May 8th, 2021
  • applications open: May 9th - May 24th (2 weeks)
  • application review/admission decisions/HR paperwork: May 25th - May 31st

Please share this with any projects you think may be interested in having a mentee work with them over the summer!

Cheers,
Nate

Dear TOC members,

First of all, let's give a shout out to Max and all community members!

Environmental sustainability is a critical matter. CNCF should take this opportunity to lead the open source community to deal with this challenge. Please share your thoughts here and help move this initiative forward. I believe all the interested parties here will appreciate your prompt action and transparency.

Cheers!

Huamin

Hi folks,
This is my first ever CNCF email, as a newbie - and I wanted to clarify how this works regarding another Linux Foundation project, the Green Software Foundation: Green Software Foundation | GSF

I can see some folks have raised a similar question - some of the items in the vision and responsibilities are clearly different from the GSF, but some overlap.

That might be ok, but flagging now. 

Thanks,

Sounds great! I'm in! Where do I sign? 😉

In terms of the next steps - I assume that we have to split who does what and we could start by brainstorming ideas on how to answer the questions posed in your 1-3 points (surveys? outreach? etc.)

I thought that if you will be joining KubeCon EU in May we might try to arrange a meeting just to get to know each other. WDYT?
Before that happens, catching up once a month or two weeks would be good.

Hello all,

thank you for having me at the TOC meeting yesterday and for the chance as well as the discussion on our proposal.
As a result of yesterday's discussion I first would like to put a renaming into the room:
"Environmental Conservation WG"

Following the recommendation, we would start as a working group also we see that there are a lot of jobs to be done, to oversight any project is at this time not part of it/too early and therefore not suitable for a TAG. Might change in the future.

Some of the initial task I see:
  • craft a team for the WG (I got already a couple of private messages and notes of interest)
  • scoping the activities - as mentioned in the meeting we see many dimensions, possibilities and ways of acting. an output here can be a kind of roadmap as well as a cloud native environmental impact map (work in this direction is generally done and need some CN spicing)
  • depending on the size of the team as well as the scoped activities, I would like to have the WG being active actually in to three directions
  • 1. towards the CNCF projects - did they worked already on something for improving their environment footprint? what are the problems they see? what is needed to overcome potential issues? etc.
  • 2. towards the enduser - as mentioned a key for this topic is awareness, and the our enduser are one/some of the strongest multiplicators. What are their current state? How OSS can help? Can we include this topic to the CNCF survey?
  • 3. bridging existing foundations and project - there are many initiatives out there, how we can bring them to our community? where we have a common sense? what is difficult for them to grow adoption? Lets learn from each other and be a vehicle for existing implementations/researches etc.
Sorry for the long email. I'm looking forward to your feedback, and your guidance to get the things started :)

Best
Max

Dear TOC,

we would like to propose you a new TAG. 

Sustainability is a growing and important topic and can be done effectively only if everyone delivers their part to it. The data centers' global energy consumption, and therefore the reason for CO2 emission, is around 2%. That maybe doesn't sound a lot but is equivalent to Canada or Germany, and is also bigger than the emissions caused by airplanes. 

At the same time, open source gets relevant momentum and can be found in many system implementations or is the foundation modern systems are built on. That's why we would like to propose you the TAG Sustainability. We as a community can lay the foundation for sustainable software, sustainable open source projects and best practices to deliver our part for a positive change in the future.

Please find our proposal here:

We would be more than happy to discuss this with you in the next TOC about the TAG. By questions feel free to reach out to us.

Best regards

Re: Proposal TAG Sustainability

Vincent Caldeira
 

In addition to Huamin's recommendations, I would suggest some initial focus about propagating standards for observability and measurement, especially in the area of carbon emissions where having an implementation of OpenTracing for emissions could go a long way to:

- Standardise measurement of emissions data across multiple deployment models and infrastructure (therefore enabling data comparability)
- Help to build trust in the data supply chain
- Help validate that whatever initiative to reduce emissions is actually working

I currently lead the Data Commons group at OS-Climate and one key issue we have been discussing with regulators and industry groups is the building standardisation and trust in the data used in various studies, industry work groups as well as climate risk models to take evidence-based decisions on climate matters. We actually realised it is likely not possible to build an aggregated view of data that would make sense, unless through an open source approach we are able to distribute a common capability for data observability that could be implemented by default in various technical stacks (e.g. Green Kubernetes) and would enable monitoring and aggregation across. 


Re: Questions on OpenEBS Incubation Proposal

Davanum Srinivas
 

Xing,

Thanks for the update and summary of questions.

#1 - looks like CNCF staff will take care of this from the service desk ticket and we should be good to go
#2 - similar to #1 as well.
#3 - many thanks to Liz for already answering with precedent, Here's how the opentelemetry choose to do - https://opentelemetry.io/status/ i would also +1 efforts to deprecate / migrate to alternatives / wrap up things as experiments wrap up and there is not much adoption after a period of time.

Hoping other TOC members chime in as well with their thoughts and ideas as well.

For point 3, we've had similar situations in other projects - OpenTelemetry comes to mind - with different levels of maturity in sub-components / sub-projects. What previous incarnations of the TOC required in these cases was that the level of maturity is clearly signposted to users. Another example: Kubernetes has features in alpha / beta state even though the project as a whole is graduated. We want to encourage projects to innovate, and innovation inevitably means that the new bits are immature.

Great example here of how TOC will need to apply judgement about whether, overall, the level of adoption is sufficient. (I'm also wondering whether the cStor option is widely adopted, or whether, given the performance issues mentioned, it might make sense to encourage users to move to another option so that this approach could be archived?)

Hello all,

 

We brought this up during the TAG Storage update at this week's TOC session and were asked to start this discussion in the mailing list.

 

This is regarding OpenEBS incubation proposal (https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/506, currently sandbox). We have been discussing with the OpenEBS team about next steps. Erin Boyd, our TOC liaison, also attended the last TAG Storage meeting when OpenEBS gave a project update. She suggested we bring this up at the TOC meeting.

 

There are mainly three issues:

 

1. Maya branding: OpenEBS has a storage engine called “MayaStor”. Previously there was a concern that the repo includes “Maya” in the name which was part of the MayaData company name.  Since then MayaData was acquired by DataCore. Maya branding is dropped by DataCore. DataCore is happy to donate the Maya branding to CNCF.

Action Item: OpenEBS team will raise a service desk ticket for CNCF to use Maya branding.

 

2. Another issue is regarding ZFS code used in cStor code base. This was a concern previously raised. Now the user space ZFS code has been moved out of cStor code repo, but cStore still has dependencies on an external repo due to the ZFS license issues. We need CNCF to review this again.

 

3. Question to TOC on how to evaluate various engines with different maturity levels when evaluating OpenEBS Incubation Proposal.

There are 2 types of storage in OpenEBS:

1) Local volumes - this is in good state. Lots of production users. Majority of OpenEBS users are using the local volumes.

2) 3 Replicated volumes engines

    a) Jiva stor: Forked from Longhorn. Stable. Just maintain, not add new features. Jiva is not the focus of the roadmap.

    b) cStor: Stable. Slow improvement. Performance is the biggest concern. cStor also has the ZFS challenge mentioned earlier.

    c) Mayastor: It is GA now. Most dev effort is spent here. However we learned from the presentation at TAG Storage that the first production user is only going live this month. For incubation, there is a requirement for 3 production use cases for reference.

 

The question to TOC is how to evaluate a project with various engines with different maturity levels when evaluating OpenEBS Incubation Proposal. If we are evaluating all of them, some may not pass incubation criteria for various reasons.

 

Thanks,

TAG Storage leads
