Demonstrate that the current level of community participation is sufficient to meet the goals outlined in the growth plan. |
| Our TACs are now attended by more participants (40+ registered) and we expect that they will start to contribute once they have exploited the already many features available. We are working on more awareness as we are still a young project (more events presentations) and we look forward having our sponsors guidance |
Demonstrate a willingness to work with (via interoperability, compatibility or extension) other LF Edge projects to provide a greater edge solution than what can be done by the project alone. |

Intention for the upcoming year (Remain at current stage OR advance towards the next Stage) | we want to advance to growth 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. | Similar to OpenHorizon EdgeLake is the open sourcing of a already developped product therefore the most important functions are there, increased usage will drive more contirbutions from volunteering users. |
How many maintainers do you have, and which organizations are they from? (Feel free to link to an existing MAINTAINERS file if appropriate.) | Most of our maintainers are from Anylog, |
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.) | Since we joined the ‘at large stage’ we have at least 3 companies who deployed in productions and contacted us (Bachelor Consulting, Winniio, AnotherPeak). It has provent no easy to know who downloads and what use case for. |
How has the project performed against its goals since the last review? (We won't penalize you if your goals changed for good reasons.) | Our goals are to deploy production use of our data service for edges. Many awareness actions were done via LF and we are not sure of the efficiency as our current users were not found via the LF |
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 focusing on adoption, Telcos and Energy companies usage should allows to move from small numbers of agents deployed to larger numbers. We are also concentrating on making the adoption easier with approaches like the ‘demo in a kit’ with OpenHorizon |
How can LF Edge help you achieve your upcoming goals? | We need awareness actions visbility to industry groups, presentations opportunities at events, large audiance webinar |
Do you think that your project meets the criteria for the next Stage? | Yes |
Please summarize Outreach Activities in which the Project has participated in (e.g. Participation in conferences, seminars, speaking engagements, meetups, etc.) | We have on our funds presented in multiple US events : IOT ones mostly. We are cooperating with the OpenHorizon team to access other events that are not LF ones |
Are you leveraging the Technical Project Getting Started Checklist? If yes, please provide link (if publicly available). |

Please review, and update if needed, your Project entry on the Existing Project Taxonomy page, modifying the Last Updated / Reviewed date in the header. |
