The Power of Collaboration: How Cross-Community Collaboration Benefits Both CNCF and OpenStack

Open source values collaboration. The collaborations take place within a community, and across communities. The collaboration between CNCF and the broader OpenStack community eliminates boundaries, and members of both groups participate in design collaboration to produce a more responsible development process. Although the cross-community collaboration is usually difficult in practice, the developers working in the mentioned communities make it work seamlessly with a shared common focus on solving technical problems. In this panel, you will hear developers involved with Kolla-Kubernetes and OpenStack-Helm talking about their first-hand experiences of working with the Kubernetes/Helm project by identifying operator’s gaps and communicating requirements through live design sessions targeted at the development of Kolla-Kubernetes and OpenStack-Helm. We want to cover approaches that have worked for both sides, and also cover some lessons learned for future collaborative efforts.


What can I expect to learn?
  • Why is such a collaboration beneficial to both communities
  • What collaborative approaches were used to form a communication pipeline between the two communities
  • Examples of tangible results from the collaboration

        - Issues

        - Pull Requests

        - Design (paths made possible)

        - Upstream Approach Validation
