Dragonfly Community

Dragonfly, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project, is committed to build an open, inclusive, productive and self-governing open source community. Dragonfly community has a mandate to facilitate driving neutral consensus for:

• defining Dragonfly's evolving direction to meet CNCF end-users' demand;
• self-governing Dragonfly project among all kinds of participants;
• facilitating community participants achieving success on technical vision;

Community Meetings

Dragonfly community meetings are held every two weeks (bi-weekly). To propose agenda items for a potential meeting, please open an issue in the relevant Dragonfly GitHub repository (e.g., dragonflyoss/community issues for general community topics, or a specific project repository for project-specific discussions). If there is sufficient interest or a clear need for broader discussion on proposed items, a meeting will be scheduled. Details and announcements for scheduled meetings will be made through appropriate channels (e.g., the relevant GitHub issue, mailing lists, or community communication platforms).

Typical Meeting Agenda (when a meeting is scheduled)

When a meeting is held, the agenda will be based on the proposed items and typically includes:

• Focused discussion on the specific agenda items that prompted the meeting.
• Group discussion on design reviews, code reviews, or other technical topics as needed.
• A brief sync-up on relevant project or community status, if applicable.
• Planning for any next steps or actions arising from the discussion.
• An opportunity for open discussion on other brief topics if time permits.
