Making Quick Progress

There is no substitute for real visible progress

​

Would be great to say at Kubecon “these are the first projects and we are evaluating more”

Draft statement that we are aiming for here: “The TOC has accepted Kubernetes into the CNCF. Google has transferred copyright and trademarks (etc… SARAH N./CHRIS verify) of Kubernetes to the Linux Foundation. Kubernetes is now an Incubated Project (DEFINE) at the CNCF. The TOC is working with the Kubernetes community to finalise the project governance model.”

​

Would be great to say “this is what CNCF means for a new project”

Proposal for Today

Discuss anchor projects today & proposal process

Form workgroups for key pieces:

  • for open source projects, what the CNCF gives you -- (Alexis, BenH, Ken) + Bryan on Cluster
  • proposal process for new CNCF projects (ChrisA, Jon, Camille)
  • draft project development process (ChrisA, Bryan, Ken?)
  • Action: Drafts by next TOC call

​

Workgroup 1: CNCF Project Voting?

  • Should we vote on an initial anchor or set of anchor projects in order to move faster? We can work on the development guidelines in parallel with projects as they get accepted vs crafting the perfect set of guidelines first

​

  • Should we vote on the proposal process to unblock us from accepting projects?
  • Simple proposal (see google doc)
    • Projects get proposed via email: cncf-proposals@lists.cncf.io
      • subject: “[PROPOSAL] project name”
    • Projects get accepted via a 2/3 supermajority vote of the TOC
    • All projects start in an incubator TLP
      • Graduating requires a 2/3 vote from the TOC

​

Workgroup 2: CNCF Development Process

  • Development Process (see google doc)

​

​

  • Who is interested in forming a small Working Group to tackle this? I don’t think it’s possible to do this over the normal TOC call

​

2, cont. CNCF Project Structure

  • How will CNCF projects be structured?
    • Top level projects (TLP) with sub projects?
    • TLPs have a PMC for disputes?

​

  • Should we have an incubator?
    • Should all projects require incubation before becoming an official CNCF project?

​

​

Workgroup 3: “who we are”

  • Defining the technical vision for CNCF?

​

  • How do we attract certain projects to the CNCF?

​

  • How do we handle projects having different development styles?
    • Should we come up with a “CNCF Way”

​

  • How do we make this not suck?

​

  • What else?

CNCF Cluster Governance Proposal

  • As part of Intel’s Cloud For All initiative, Intel is deploying 1000 nodes (500+ nodes in 2015, scaling to 1000 in first quarter of 2016) at Switch, Las Vegas, to be used by the CNCF community. Infrastructure of this magnitude requires heavy capital investment and is typically not available to most organizations. We anticipate heavy demand for servers in the deployment for cloud native development, testing & bug fixing. This document details the intent for deployment, expectation from users, and the process to access the cluster (see Google doc).
  • Bryan Cantrill to volunteer for committee
  • Action: Sarah S. to send out Doodle Poll to committee to kick things off
