We have new adopters but not publicly available yet.







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 have four goals last year:

  1. Graduate to Stage 2 (progressing)

  2. Deliver on the 2022 Roadmap, about one release per quarter with new features. (Almost done. 4 releases with some changes of the content)

  3. Grow the number and diversity of contributors. (Done, double the contributors)

  4. Collaborate with more LF Edge projects and other open-source projects. (Done, continue to work closely with EdgeX. And new integration with EdgeWASM)

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?

We are working mainly on major new features and also try to promote adoptions.

  1. Graduate to Stage 2

  2. Deliver features regarding SQL, streaming and management. Plan and deliver v2.

  3. Grow the community with more contributors, PRs and discussions. 

  4. More documentations for use cases and scenarios.

How can LF Edge help you achieve your upcoming goals?

  • More exposure to companies globally.

  • Chances of outreach activities globally.
