Hi Thierry, Thanks for bringing this up! Egle and Mark have done very good work and I want to express my gratefulness to them! I have participated in that group before, though unfortunately have not been able to do so in 2019. I am willing and able to participate again, but I don't have the depth that Egle and Mark have. I'm certainly happy to help and be the liaison to the board. And I fully agree that this WG continues to be very important! @Egle: Please share your thoughts how this can work out! Thanks, -- Kurt On 21 February 2020 17:18:14 CET, Thierry Carrez <thierry@openstack.org> wrote:
Hi, newly-elected and returning board members,
During the last meeting, Alan called for new volunteers to join board committees like the Compensation committee or the Finance committee.
While not strictly a committee, the Interoperability working group (formerly known as DefCore committee) is a OSF board working group that
leads the definition of new versions of our Interoperability guidelines, which are used to grant the rights to use various trademarks such as "OpenStack-Powered platform".
The group was previously led by Egle Sigler and Mark Voelker, who as of
2020 are no longer part of the board. Its main task is to get consensus
on which APIs are necessary to be offered and which sections of code are necessary to be run to call your deployment "an OpenStack cloud". Technically, that translates into the definition of a set of Tempest tests matching the required API calls, so that products and deployments
can assert the trademark through a suite of tools called RefStack.
This work is critical in driving interoperability between OpenStack deployments, which is an essential benefit of using OpenStack software in hybrid usage scenarios. Representing all facets of our community, the Board is uniquely positioned to define what that consensus looks like and evolve it over time.
Who is interested in participating in that workgroup ? I'm available to
answer any question you may have about the process, and for questions I
don't have the answer to, I copied Egle on this email so that she can bring additional context if needed.
Thanks!
