Hi Everyone, I hope you are all doing well! I'm reaching out to let you know that the weekly calls will be suspended for the next few weeks. During Summer on the Northern hemisphere the weekly calls tend to get lower attendance, as people take vacation at different times. To be mindful of everyone's time, the core group decided to take a short break and suspend the weekly calls for August. We will still keep discussion up here on the mailing list, as topics come up. __We will resume the weekly meetings on September 8th at 1500 UTC.__ You can find more details about the Edge Computing Group and weekly meetings here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community OpenInfra Foundation

Hi Everyone, We've just had the Edge Computing Group weekly call earlier today. We finished editing a new article to submit to an IEE publication, based on our latest Edge AI whitepaper. We are still discussing what is coming next, and made progress to decide: - To prioritize writing a series of blog posts/articles as opposed to a new whitepaper - The topic of our first blog post will be: How to Implement Edge AI infrastructures with OpenInfra and other open source projects? - Following areas we will explore: + How to implement use cases we identified for the Edge AI whitepaper with OpenInfra and open source projects? + How to use AI to do performance improvements? + Reference architecture and infrastructure recipes for a cookbook What would you like to work on as a next step? For further notes, please see the brainstorming etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-ai-brainstorming In case you missed it, you can access the Next Generation Edge: Edge Computing Architectures for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Use Cases whitepaper here: http://openstack.org/use-cases/edge-computing/next-generation-edge-edge-com… Our next ECG call is on Monday (August 04), 2025 at 1500 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Looking forward to seeing you on the next meeting! Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community OpenInfra Foundation

What's next for the OpenInfra Edge Computing Group? - Weekly meeting recap
by Ildiko Vancsa 14 Jul '25

14 Jul '25

Hi All, In case you missed it, the the OpenInfra Edge Computing Group published a new whitepaper to explore the intersection of Edge Computing and AI! Learn more about the effort: https://openinfra.org/blog/where-do-next-generation-edge-and-ai-intersect Access the Next Generation Edge: Edge Computing Architectures for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Use Cases whitepaper directly: http://openstack.org/use-cases/edge-computing/next-generation-edge-edge-com… On today's working group call we talked about next steps to figure out what the working group is going to work on next. We were exploring areas such as: - Reference architectures with OpenInfra and other open source projects - Data privacy and security - HW at the edge - New paper capturing the stateof-the-art To capture more ideas, I created an etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-ai-brainstorming __Please add topics and activities you would like to work with the Edge Computing Group onwards!__ __Our next working group call will be next Monday (July 21)!__ For more details, please see our wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community OpenInfra Foundation

Next Generation Edge: Edge Computing Architectures for AI and ML Use Cases whitepaper - now LIVE!
by Ildiko Vancsa 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Hi All, I'm reaching out to you to draw your attention to a new whitepaper, published by the OpenInfra Edge Computing Group. The working group has been set out to explore the technology area of the intersection between edge computing and AI, to understand the demands, needs, requirements and start building the architecture models that can support them. This whtepaper serves as a technology foundation for the Edge AI space for anyone who's considering, or already using AI at the edge. Check out the Next Generation Edge: Edge Computing Architectures for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Use Cases whitepaper here: http://openstack.org/use-cases/edge-computing/next-generation-edge-edge-com… Are you already using AI at the Edge or planning to? Have you built your Edge AI architecture with OpeInfra projects, or in the process of? We want to hear from you! Get involved in the OpenInfra Edge Computing Group and share your use case, requirements and stories about building and operating Edge Ai infrastructure: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Group_Resources Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community OpenInfra Foundation

Hi Everyone, The working group participants are currently focusing on writing a new whitepaper. Along with that goal we spent today's call as a working session to go through content and comments that people contributed to the document so far. During our conversation today we focused on areas such as strategy to define terms like 'edge' and 'AI'. We also went into a bit of detail on our desire to cover hardware considerations, and the group gravitated towards having follow-up articles to do deep dives on certain topics that the paper doesn't have the bandwidth to cover. Our next ECG call is on Monday (March 03), 2025 at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Looking forward to seeing you on the next meeting! Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

Hi Everyone, Thank you to all of you who were able to attend the call today. The group focused on the Edge & AI whitepaper on the weekly call today. We are still in the brainstorming and information gathering phase, which is open for one more week, and we threw out some more thoughts, ideas and preferences for the paper. We had a great discussion on the call. we touched on the following topics: - ELASTIC EU project and how to relates to edge * https://elasticproject.eu - Our preferences on providing recommendations and concrete guidance vs keeping the paper more theoretical - New EU Commission Telco + AI whitepaper * https://smart-networks.europa.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ai_ml_white-pap… - HW at the edge, including cost considerations and tradeoffs - Starting on our next call, we will focus on the whitepaper's scope, timeline and next steps For more detailed notes, please see the meeting etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-computing-group Our next ECG call is on Monday (February 17, 2025) at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Hi Everyone, We' had a great call this Monday where we kept focusing more deeply on the new whitepaper in the topic area of the intersection of edge computing and AI. We are still in the brainstorming and information gathering phase, which will be followed by setting a scope and timeline. We've spent most of our time this Monday on the following items: - Use cases * AI-enabled private edge clouds * Use of federated learning for automotive and aviation - Definitions to include in the paper - keep them short and for the purpose of setting context for the paper * Edge, fog, extreme edge * AI, ML definitions - We also talked about the group's preferences on how to approach security and privacy in the whitepaper * Standalone chapter * Part of the use cases For further notes, please see the meeting etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-computing-group Our next ECG call is on Monday (February 03, 2025) at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
