OpenInfra Summit Edge Forum session proposal for review
by Ildiko Vancsa 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Hi All, We’ve discussed to submit a session proposal into the OpenInfra Summit Forum CFP with the intent to utilize the Forum to reconnect with the OpenInfra projects and ecosystem in person. And talk about edge! I wrote up a session proposal using what we discussed on our weekly meetings this year. Please let me know what you think! Also, please let me know if you would be interested in moderating the session! Thanks, Ildikó Title: So we talked a lot about edge computing… What’s next?! Abstract: The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group spent the past few years to dive into defining and untangling the edge infrastructure space. Taking a closer look at the edge and the road that takes there, we identified orchestration and automation as crucial components of any end-to-end edge deployment that seeks success and longevity. We’ve also started to explore application design challenges through the lens of the requirements set towards infrastructure services. The group is looking to (re)connect with users as well as developers in this space to understand challenges and solutions that users or developers face. We would like to learn about new use cases, production deployments and projects in various areas from private mobility to industrial automation, with the goal of finding and filling gaps in the open source solutions to fulfill the users’ requirements. ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Edge Forum session at the upcoming OpenInfra Summit
by Ildiko Vancsa 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Hi, The next OpenInfra Summit will be in Vancouver, BC on June 13-15. Similarly to previous Summits, we will have the Forum again! The Forum is an interactive part of the main event with working sessions to discuss specific topics and challenges. The sessions also provide a great opportunity to connect the contributors of OpenInfra projects with users to ensure a feedback loop and good communication between those who create and those who use the software. The Forum proposal process is still open. Grabbing a session would be a great opportunity to learn the latest challenges and discuss solution ideas in the edge computing space. We can also reach out to a wider audience and can find new contributors to our group. Would you all be interested in proposing a Forum session? If so, do you have preferred topics to discuss with the attendees? Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Edge sessions at the virtual PTG in March

Hi, I’m reaching out about the upcoming virtual Project Teams gathering event, which will be held March 27-31. We had one session during the last PTG with great conversations about topics in areas such as orchestration, automation or environmental sustainability. It would be great to utilize some time during the upcoming event and discuss some of our topics further as well as to talk about plans and roadmap with regards to what our working group is set to achieve this year. What do you all think? What topics would you like to discuss at the PTG? I created a planning etherpad to collect ideas: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-march-2023 Please add your thoughts to the etherpad so we can better plan the time to book for the event. __The team signup deadline is February 19__. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation
