Hi All, We're now adding a "size" label automatically to all PRs raised in the main Kata Containers repo (see [1]). Please "keep an eye" on these labels as we may need to adjust the thresholds slightly [2]. If you notice any oddities, please raise an issue or a PR to tweak. # Additional - I've added the size label to all existing open PRs in the main repo. - Once [3] gets a final ack (hint, hint!), the same will apply to the tests repo.

Confidential Containers Community Meeting 3/2/22
by Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hello, As usual we have a CC Community Meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM UTC - 9 AM EST - 10PM CST. As usual we have a lot to talk about. We will start with some community updates including the status of the CCv0 branch, the CI effort, and more. We will also look back at some of the goals we set at the beginning of the year and see if we are on track (spoiler: sort of). We will take some time to catch up on support for secure storage, which was one of our goals that has not been discussed as much in the last few weeks. Time permitting we will also introduce Samuel's question about creating a general purpose attestation server and invite further discussion on GitHub. As usual if you would like to add anything to the agenda feel free to do so. [1] See you tomorrow, Tobin [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GLCzNgrcigUlgWAZYlgqNTdVwiMwCRTJ0QnJh…

RFH: Help us reduce the PR backlog!
by Hunt, James O 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hi All, TL;DR - Read [1] and help review the backlog ;) # Details I brought up the issue of the PR backlog in the AC meeting (yet again) yesterday [2]. Seeing so many PRs being raised is great and a sign of a healthy project. However, we need help getting these PRs landed as the current review team [3] doesn't have the bandwidth to do this alone. ## Plea Please consider helping review the backlog. Why? Here are a few reasons: - It will help you learn more about Kata. - You will get noticed and earn kudos from the community for helping. - You will help the project land important improvements, features and bugfixes. ## Proposals I've made a couple of proposals on [3] which I'll paste here for easy reading: ### "Raise 1, review 2" If you raise a PR, please consider reviewing _atleast two other PRs_. Every PR raised is of benefit, but you should also recognise that every PR raised also results in more work for the (very small) review team. ### Present at the AC meeting If you have specialist knowledge that could be shared with the community, please consider presenting at the Architecture Committee meeting. This will help others to help you as others will be able to help review PRs "in your area". Cheers, James [1] - https://github.com/kata-containers/community/issues/253 [2] - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/Kata_Containers_2022_Architecture_Committee_… [3] - https://github.com/kata-containers/community/wiki/Review-Team-Rota --- https://katacontainers.io/ | https://github.com/kata-containers Open Source Technology Center Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Co.
