Stage 2: Growth Stage
Stage 3 Projects also requested to complete this section
Stage 2 Criteria (from the PLD) | Meets / Needs Improvement / Missing / Not Applicable | Supporting Data (if needed, include links to specific examples) |
|---|---|---|
Development of a growth plan (to include both roadmap of projected feature sets as well as overall community growth/project maturity), to be done in conjunction with their project mentor(s) at the TAC. | Meets | See Feature Roadmap for the projected feature sets. The community growth and project maturity are discussed in the goals below. |
Document that it is being used in POCs. | Meets | There have been many PoCs and already some commercial deployment using EVE, however not much of them are yet stated publicly. The PoCs can be gleaned from various public commitments and event partiticipation such as: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/zededa.annual_enterprise_license https://www.supermicro.com/solutions/Solution-Brief_Zededa.pdf https://www.lannerinc.com/corporate/strategic-alliances/zededa Some of the interested parties have presented and discussed this at https://zededa.com/transform/ and a talk at RancherCON with the abstract at https://www.accelevents.com/e/edgeconference2020#agenda including: "Join Rancher’s Mikhail Kozorovitskiy, Schlumberger’s Vassilis Varveropoulos, and ZEDEDA’s Seyi Verma to learn about:
|
Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions. | Meets | Over the last 90 days we have 546 Commits from 30 Authors to 5 Repositories LFX Insights-EVE Commits |
Demonstrate that the current level of community participation is sufficient to meet the goals outlined in the growth plan. | Meets | The above level of commits are likely to continue as we deliver the items on the roadmap |
Demonstrate evidence of, or a plan for, interoperability, compatibility or extension to other LF Edge Projects. Examples may include demonstrating modularity (ability to swap in components between projects). | Meets | Joint Demo with Fledge and Akraino Blueprint family and Blueprint(s) LF projects- ACRN and XEN outreached to LF Energy |

Intention for the upcoming year (Remain at current stage OR advance towards the next Stage) | Move to Stage 3 |
Include a link to your project’s CommunityBridge Insights page. We will be looking for signs of consistent or increasing contribution activity. Please feel free to add commentary to add color to the numbers and graphs we will see on Insights. | Over the last 90 days we have 546 Commits from 30 Authors to 5 Repositories A year earlier under the same 90 days we had 340 Commits from 20 Authors to 3 Repositories |
How many maintainers do you have, and which organizations are they from? (Feel free to link to an existing MAINTAINERS file if appropriate.) Note: For EVE, we do not have many branches, so for us we are using the term Maintainer as someone who is has a major part in determining our direction. Namely people who are planning features or producing architectural diagrams that will shape how we move forward. | Contributors: 40 over the last year Committers: 14 (the TSC) Maintainers: 7 Erik Nordmark ZEDEDA Roman Shaposhnik ZEDEDA Avi Deitcher Atomic Jason Shepherd ZEDEDA Stefano Stabellini Xilinx Петр Федченков (Petr Fedchenkov) Vladimir Suvorov (Vladimir Suvorov) Auriga |
| What do you know about adoption, and how has this changed since your last review / since you joined the current Stage? If you can list companies that are end users of your project, please do so. (Feel free to link to an existing ADOPTERS file if appropriate.) | There have been many PoCs and already some commercial deployment using EVE. Currently the public commitments are limited to e.g., https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/zededa.annual_enterprise_license https://www.supermicro.com/solutions/Solution-Brief_Zededa.pdf https://www.lannerinc.com/corporate/strategic-alliances/zededa Some of the interested parties have presented and discussed this at https://zededa.com/transform/ and a talk at RancherCON with the abstract at https://www.accelevents.com/e/edgeconference2020#agenda including: Join Rancher’s Mikhail Kozorovitskiy, Schlumberger’s Vassilis Varveropoulos, and ZEDEDA’s Seyi Verma to learn about:
|
| How has the project performed against its goals since the last review? (We won't penalize you if your goals changed for good reasons.) | This is the first review. |
| What are the current goals of the project? For example, are you working on major new features? Or are you concentrating on adoption or documentation? | Goals for 2021
|
| How can LF Edge help you achieve your upcoming goals? | Upstream: Moby ecosystem, OCI, CNCF (esp. K3S), OSDU Does LF have a relationship with the OpenGroup? EVE is starting to work with the OSDU group. Bringing in more edge application and hardware vendors as members in LF Edge would be helpful not only for EVE but for LF Edge as a whole. |
Do you think that your project meets the criteria for the next Stage?
