Notes from 1/3 - ideas for topics
by Rob Hirschfeld 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

All, >From today, I captured notes from brainstorming topics for discussion this year. Here's my list 1) series about dealing w/ complexity 2) focus on technical architecture / solutions for topics including: hardware, virtualization, kubernetes, networking (IPv4 & IPv6), DNS 3) having a vendor series with startups and established vendors. I had StackPath, VMware, Amazon Outpost, etc. RackN would be happy to present too. 4) build up a reference environment that we could collaborate around. I tried to do this around RPis with EdgeLab but didn't get traction.

Mailing list has moved
by Jeremy Stanley 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

In the process of moving non-OpenStack-specific mailing lists off the lists.openstack.org domain, the Edge Computing mailing list now uses lists.opendev.org instead. The list configuration and subscribers were moved to this new domain, while key redirects and a forwarding alias for the old list address have been installed in order to keep existing hyperlinks and replies to messages from before the move working. If you have any questions or notice problems related to this change, please feel free to follow up here on the list or with me directly. -- Jeremy Stanley
