Remain at current stage

Include a link to your project’s LFX 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.

TBD

How many maintainers do you have, and which organizations are they from? (Feel free to link to an existing MAINTAINERS file if appropriate.)

5, all from Dell.

We are expecting contributions from IOTA (Rust SDK) in the near future based on recent adoption described below.

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.)

One project adopter so far. 

  • Canada-Chile Reciclo Orgánicos Program, 2017 – 2021 – Alvarium onboarded into Molina Anaerobic Biodigester facility assigning higher confidence to carbon capture data generated from automation than manual sources.

How has the project performed against its goals since the last review? (We won't penalize you if your goals changed for good reasons.)

  • We satisfied the goal of porting the original Go SDK to other languages (Java and Python)

  • We satisfied the goal of providing an end-to-end implementation for score calculation so that interested parties can see the full solution

  • The above was demonstrated at ONES 2021

  • We did not, however, meet our goals for adoption or engagement across different partners/verticals

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?

In the coming year, our focus is on growing adoption and partner engagement. 

We recognized at the start of the project that our implementation and approach has been very specific to requirements within Dell. We wanted partners to help us evolve toward something that might be more flexible and applicable to use cases beyond IOT.

How can LF Edge help you achieve your upcoming goals?
