I'm then hugely encouraged and fascinated by how far we are able +to get. + +For Pike, the three core members from three different companies came up with +the basic framework. And for Queens, with more devs joining we will pulled of +our own first implementation of the nested resource provider, a basic +interaction framework between cyborg-conductor and nova-placement, a generic +driver that will be a reference implementation for vendor drivers, Intel FPGA +driver (our first vendor driver !), SPDK driver (the first software +accelerator driver !), cyborg-agent resource tracker, and so on and so forth. +I can't really ask more from this amazing team. + +Moreover for the First Contact SIG initiative, we also established a vibrant +Cyborg China Dev community via Wechat group and held many ad-hoc meetings. +This effort has helped tremendously on our Queens delivery in the making. We +also joined with Nova team to kickoff the Resource Management SIG which will +help align the resource data modeling across OpenStack and other related +open source communities. + +With Queens release work still lingering around, the plan for Rocky was +actually bounced over several times during team discussion, and here are the +items that in my mind are important target: + +(1) Adopt MS based development cadence. Queens was a chaotic process and I + think we learnt a hard lesson from it +(2) Finishing up the implementation for Nova-Cyborg interaction spec. +(3) Quota and multi-tenancy support +(4) FPGA Programmability support +(5) NVIDIA GPU/ARM SoC driver support +(6) Meta data standardization. We might take a lesson from Device Tree. +(7) Containerization support for Kubernetes DPI plugin. + +Thanks for your patience on reading through this long email. Again I want to +express my will to continue serving cyborg project in Rocky and look forward +to your support or any questions you might have. + +-- +Zhipeng (Howard) Huang
