OpenEBS Community

Important

OpenEBS is an umbrella ☂️ project, composed as a federation of individual sub projects (repositories). The project files in this repository apply to the umbrella project, every sub project, repository and file in the OpenEBS organization.

About the community repository

This Community repository is the central location for project info and files (like our GOVERNANCE contract & our CONTRIBUTING guide etc) for the OpenEBS organization. You'll also find a Top level Issues List for Organization related issues that span across products/projects. We also provide a main Discussions forum where everyone can collaborate and discuss anything.

Important documents and contacts:

This repository contains all the project files for the organization, and the following project files are important for understanding the OpenEBS project, and how we operate:

• OpenEBS Vision Defines the vision, mission statement; what is in-scope and out-of-scope for the project
• Governance How the project operates
• Contributing How to contribute, guidelines for being a contributor

Project Leadership team

This Community is managed by the OpenEBS Admins, Maintainers and Senior leaders within the OpenEBS project team. We liaise with the Linux Foundation and CNCF on project, governance and operational matters. We curate the daily operations of the project, product, roadmaps, initiatives, all engineering/code activities and all events (including conferences). Currently our leadership team is...

Vishnu Attur	@avishnu		Admin, Maintainer
Abhinandan Purkait	😎 @Abhinandan-Purkait		Maintainer

Who we are

We are a community of innovative Data Storage engineers that contribute to this project. We are grateful for the major sponsorship provided by DataCore, who donate a large team of dedicated Dev/QA/Engineers, Product Mgmt, Marketing, Business and Operational leadership as well as significant engineering infrastructure resources and financial funding. Without DataCore, Inc... OpenEBS would not be the successful product that it is today. OpenEBS is the result of hundreds of amazing individuals, contributors and storage engineers who provide brainstorming ideas, feedback, code reviews and high-quality code to the project. Anyone who is passionate about storage and data is welcome here.

Note

CNCF Project status: ARCHIVE
In Jan 2024, under the guidance of CNCF TOC, our project moved from Sandbox level to Archive level, enabling us to implement an extensive restructuring initiative. We are actively working to archive legacy sub projects, repositories and dependencies to a CNCF owned GitHub organization called: OpenEBS-Archive, plus updating our governance and operating procedures.
What's changing in the technology stack? The product team is unifying FOUR major sub projects (Mayastor, LocalPV-LVM, LocalPV-ZFS, LocalPV-Hostpath) and their technology stack repos into one core OpenEBS code-base. For more information, see the parent issue in our main repo for more detail.

OpenEBS is a CNCF project and DataCore, Inc is a CNCF Silver member. DataCore support's CNCF extensively and has funded OpenEBS participating in every KubeCon event since 2020. Our project team is managed under the CNCF Storage Landscape and we contribute to the CNCF CSI and TAG Storage project initiatives. We proudly support CNCF Cloud Native Community Groups initiatives.

Thanks for dropping by. // We appreciate everyone in our community and would love to hear from you.
