[OpenStack Foundation] [Diversity] Diversity WG - Regular Meeting Poll
by Amy Marrich 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi everyone, I know there are folks out on vacation but wanted to get this out there. The poll's main purpose is to decide if we are on an even or odd week rotation and the day and time for the meeting. Don't worry that the dates are January 1-12, I will leave it open through the holidays and then pick the day and time with the best response. https://doodle.com/poll/ddqt7mai52p23hg2 Thanks, Amy (spotz)

Hi everyone, First thank you to everyone who attended the meeting on Monday. Looking through the older etherpads I wanted to point out this one in particular for having the most amount of detail on the original survey: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/OpenStackDiversity.11 The following google doc was a draft used in the original survey, though I'm not sure if it was the final version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19P117V1OxZgRuPP6S2nwNCH6cC6v0jwwAaFswwLNq… And a last etherpad which has links to the Diversity messaging for Tokyo as well as a slide deck with some of the survey results:

[OpenStack Foundation] Update on Strategic Focus Area Progress since Sydney
by Jonathan Bryce 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Hi everyone, Before the OpenStack Summit Sydney, I sent an update about some new things we wanted to work on and support at the OpenStack Foundation. During Sydney, we agreed on a set of problem domains we wanted to organize communities around that had a lot of overlap with our mission for building open infrastructure. We’re calling these Strategic Focus Areas, and the initial set included datacenter cloud infrastructure (most of the existing OpenStack projects), container infrastructure, edge computing infrastructure and CI/CD infrastructure. We’ve made some progress in these areas in the last few weeks and I wanted to provide an update. Container Infrastructure The Containers SFA is important because there are problems to be solved in the "last mile" of putting containers into production that really matter to cloud operators and that are not yet addressed by the app dev focused tools layer. This SFA is the first to include a pilot project, called Kata Containers, which opened up for broader collaboration this week ahead of KubeCon. This project is being kicked off by code from two existing open source projects: Clear Containers and RunV, which were started by Intel and Hyper and have been in development for 2-3 years. These projects decided they wanted to join forces to build a unified effort to create a secure container runtime. I'm excited to see 22 companies--including many existing OpenStack companies and also some new organizations--have signed on to support the initiative. This is an encouraging sign regarding our early efforts to drive open infrastructure solutions in the container space by focusing on solving problems for cloud operators. Find out more or get involved here: https://katacontainers.io/ This is at the container infrastructure layer, and thus sits beneath (and works well with) application-centric container tools like Docker images and Kubernetes pods and supports standards like OCI and CRI-O. This layer of container tech doesn't get as much hype as the app tools, but is vital to operating secure containers at scale without resorting to full VMs for isolation and is thus a natural fit with our other efforts. Edge Computing Infrastructure We've continued to see huge interest and action around Edge Computing following the succesful OpenDev event in September. We've established a mailing list ( http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/edge-computing ) and are kicking off weekly meetings to start to drive progress. Our first meeting had 40-50 people join and we laid out several work streams and identified teams to help move them forward: - OpenStack Gap Analysis - Cross-community collaboration - New project consideratios (what new tech is needed? how can we help?) If you’d like to get involved in these areas or edge in general, please join the mailing list. We will have additional focus on this at the next Summit in Vancouver. CI/CD Infrastructure Software development continues to be a popular use case for OpenStack, and we've seen an explosion of open source tools in this space. This area is still fairly nascent but one that we are starting to work with the existing teams in our community like ZuulV3, as well as reaching out to our users and other tools and communities to see where we can best help drive open solutions. To accelerate efforts in this area, we are considering focusing the 2018 OpenDev event on the CI/CD space. Stay tuned for more details. Thanks again to everyone who has been participating in these efforts and providing feedback around it. I am very excited to see what 2018 brings for us. As always, if you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to send them my way, Jonathan +1-210-317-2438

Due to a lack of response to the original Doodle I have created a second poll for a date and time for next week. We will hold the meeting on the day/time with the highest response next week as pushing it back would mean holding off until the new year. Poll: https://doodle.com/poll/f4h9es9tfipx9nz8 Etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/diversity-kickoff Agenda: Go over goals Pick a Chair Plan for future meetings Please add anything else you would like to discuss. If you would like to be considered for the Chair or a co-chair and can not attend please add your name. Thanks, Amy (spotz)
