- DevOps Chairman is resigning. New leadership is needed to guide this work group. Over the course of the next couple of months, the current chair will hold review sessions during the working group meetings to educate more of the community or current systems and procedures and find a volunteer to guide and steer the direction of this important working group going forward. The target is to identify a new leader by Christmas time 2018.
- EdgeX Go code (inclusive of all development, build and test environments) will move to Go 1.11. https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/issues/764 & https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/issues/765
- EdgeX Go code will use modules in place of Glide. https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/issues/477
- EdgeX will update to Consul 1.2.3 for Edinburgh. https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/issues/836
General Tasks and Notes
- Given Edinburgh will be EdgeX version 1.0, the EdgeX community will adopt a release, support and version strategy to provide guidance around backward compatibility to the development and user community. Additionally, the community will define a long term support policy that defines the communities intended support of the EdgeX Foundry platform.
- EdgeX has used Rocket Chat as the message channel for contributor and user information exchange since the project’s inception. With the upcoming release, the community is going to switch to Slack – a more widely used and accepted form of developer communications.
- With the Edinburgh release, the community has resolved to adopt a “Release Manager” to monitor, guide, document and manage each release. The Release Manager role will rotate through organizations like Dell, IoTech, Intel, and Canonical. Michael Hall will lead efforts to define the duties of the role and Keith Steele (or TSC chair) will coordinate the rotation of the role to the larger supporting organizations.
- EdgeX will have and advertise its support contract/policy to the world with the Edinburgh release.
- The TestQA and DevOps working groups will meet simultaneously in order to stream line efforts that are often intertwined.
