Hey Folks, Tomorrow, May 25th, we'll have our weekly CC community meeting at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. We'll start with out regular release [1] updates and sync, but we may spend a bit more time on it than usual, as we want to discuss about delaying it a bit. We'll also talk about Kubecon NA and China, and then Peter will give a follow up on the Amber attestation service and its integration with CoCo. The agenda [2] is yours, feel free to reach out for future topics or amend it directly. See you all tomorrow! Cheers, Samuel.

OpenInfra Project Update Videos - Community Comms
by Treva Williams 22 May '23

22 May '23

Greetings Kata Herders, Historically, the OpenInfra Foundation has been collecting video recordings to capture project updates from each OpenInfra community. These videos were initially collected leading up to each OpenInfra Summit to showcase the accomplishments of each project in the past year/release. This year we are implementing a change to the cadence of collecting this video content, to better fit with the communities' timeline, milestones and achievements. It will also help us better promote the new content, without it getting lost among the news and buzz around the OpenInfra Summit. Moving forward, the community will need to make decisions about items, such as the cadence and format of recording the project updates. Cadence: There are various options to pick from. The community can define a stable cadence, stick to bigger milestones, like major releases, project anniversaries, and more. Format: The community can produce pre-recorded content, which can include slide materials, and share that with us. If there is enough content and volunteers, the community also has the option to talk about the latest project news and updates during an OpenInfra Live episode. We will post all recordings on the OpenInfra Foundation YouTube channel and promote them in relevant social media channels. Timeline: The new process will start after this year's OpenInfra Summit, which will happen on June 13-15 in Vancouver, Canada. After the event, we can discuss the above items in the Architecture Committee meeting following the event and take next steps in the process. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime. Have a lovely week.

Confidential Containers Community Meeting - 2023/05/18
by Samuel Ortiz 17 May '23

17 May '23

Hey Folks, Tomorrow, May 18th, we'll have our weekly CC community meeting at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. We received some valuable feedback about the CoCo TSC so we'd like to start the meeting with that topic. We'd like to make the TSC role clearer, and make it more visible and transparent to rest of the community, so we'll talk about how we're planning to get there. Next we'll go through the usual release sync and updates [1], which is important as we're getting pretty close to 0.6.0. Finally, Peter and Haidong will present our main technical topic: the Amber attestation service, and its integration with CoCo [2]. As usual, the agenda [3] is all for you to amend. See you all tomorrow! Cheers, Samuel.

Fwd: Extending the Forum
by Kendall Nelson 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hello Everyone, We received feedback that critical Forum conversations were not able to make the schedule due to the intentional work on our part to avoid PTG / Forum overlap which ended up restricting the number of Forum discussion proposals we were able to accept. To mitigate this, we have opened up the Forum room for a third day. We have created a form to collect critical Forum proposals. We will leave the form open for one week to give all timezones fair representation. The deadline to submit a proposal for a forum discussion is Thursday May, 18th at 7:00 UTC. Shortly after, the OpenInfra Foundation will make final decisions and program the Forum on Thursday. -Kendall Nelson [1] https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/forum_expansion

Kata snap releases are not being updated: Please migrate to an alternative installation method asap!
by Hunt, James O 05 May '23

05 May '23

Hi All, ## TL;DR If you are running the Kata Containers snap installation [1], please migrate as soon as possible to an alternative installation method [2]. The snap build is broken, and has been for some time it seems [3]. Version summary: latest stable Kata release: 3.1.0 (https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/releases/tag/3.1.0) latest snap release: 2.4.2 (https://snapcraft.io/kata-containers) ## Details The snap build is currently broken and seems to have been for some time, but we didn't get notification. This means that the newest snap build (version 2.4.2) is much older than the newest Kata stable release (version 3.1.0). Since the snap build takes a lot of effort to maintain and debug when it does fail, and since we don't have enough resource to maintain it currently, it was agreed in the Architecture Committee meeting on Tuesday 2nd May that we will stop maintaining the Kata snap [4]. We've documented a plan for how we plan to do this on [3]. If you'd like to be involved (or indeed if you want to offer to pick up snap maintenance), please comment on the GitHub issue as soon as possible.

KubeCon EU Recordings + Call for Proposals - KubeCon US Chicago
by Treva Williams 03 May '23

03 May '23

I hope this message finds you well. As your friendly community manager, I am excited to share with you a list of talks on Kata Containers & Confidential Containers delivered at KubeCon EU[1]. If you missed the event, don't worry! You can listen in on the latest Kata+CoCO news by watching the recordings. Here are the links to the videos: • Experience with "Hard Multi-Tenancy" in K8s using Kata Containers (Shuo Chen)[2] • Confidential Containers Made Easy (Jens Friemann, Fabiano Fidencio)[3] • The Next Episode in Workload Isolation: Confidential Containers (Jeremi Piotrowskit)[4] Speaking of KubeCon, I wanted to remind you that the call for proposals for KubeCon US[5] is now open. The event is happening from November 6-9, 2023 in Chicago, Il. At KubeCon EU, presentations on Kata & CoCo were very popular. I predict that there will be even more interest in hearing about innovations made by the community in Chicago with the Cloud Native community. If you have an interesting topic related to Kata Containers or Confidential Computing, I strongly encourage you to submit a proposal[7]. The CFP is open until June 18, 2023, so you still have some time. Please visit the KubeCon website[6] to learn more about the submission process. Thank you for your attention, & I look forward to hearing about your proposal!
