Meeting recap and upcoming calls
by Ildiko Vancsa 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hi All, We had a few great calls in the past few weeks. Below please find some of the highlights of our discussions. * Events - OpenInfra Summit & PTG in Vancouver + The group submitted a Forum session for the event to talk about orchestration, automation and further relevant challenges for edge. = The group is also looking forward to find new members and hear about new use cases + Event details: https://openinfra.dev/summit/vancouver-2023 * Digital transformation - The term is somewhat overused - The focus is shifting towards re-inventing customer experience - Retail is a good example of how digital transformation is changing shopping experience * Does edge actually need a core?! - The group brought up automotive and credit card transactions as related examples - We also discussed to re-phrasing the question to differentiate between a central cloud and a centralized vs distributed control plane - We also had a detour to cover air-gapping * Access - How do you access the edge? + Private vs public networks + Developers have no control or often even insight to how their apps will access and use the network * Data security - There’s a growing motivation to keep as much data local as possible - Only transfer aggregated and processed data —> makes the edge “fatter” * Distributed systems vs Edge - We had a short conversation about how these terms refer to similar things, but they are not the same! There might an article coming about this topic — Volunteers? * Use cases - We mentioned some new ones, like managing grain silos or transportation - There are also a few use cases where raw data gets thrown away after being processed —> Is that “normal”? + We had an extended conversation about metadata in this context; what it is, how it is treated, etc Our upcoming schedule is the following: * February 20, 2023 - Developer support - how can developers build a lab and test environment to mimic edge-like circumstances? * February 27, 2023 - Canceled: due to Mobile World Congress * March 06, 2023 - Private Mobility - The session will be lead by David Paterson For information about upcoming meetings and dial-in details please check out our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

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
by Ildiko Vancsa 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

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
