Minutes/Updates

• l3af.io Self Management- Update from LF:

  • It sounds like the team wants to move off of Wordpress and onto GitHub or Netlify?  You can certainly do that -- we don't have any restrictions on where/how projects host their websites. However, the LF web team would not be able to support the website during/after the move since we only support Wordpress and Hubspot. 

    FYI - EBPF is actually moving to an LF-hosted Wordpress

Notes for 07.06.2022:

• L3AF.io management

  • eBPF is moving to an LF-hosted Wordpress managed site.

  • What is the process by which we the community would submit updates?

  • What is the LF recommendation?

    • On an LF managed site we open a ticket with the creative services group.

    • No preview. Just submit the change and it goes public.

  • Need someone with GitHub or Netlify experience to maintain this.

    • Jason: We don't have the cycles to take it on.

  • Let's keep the site maintenance with LF now.

    • LF networking budget pays for this

  • Still worth asking around about Netlify.

  • LFX team might be able to help with hosting.

• Welcome Charles Liu!

  • Welcome to L3AF!

  • Working on Data Plane and L3AFd

• Governing board election: LBGMCR

  • Nominations are in progress.

  • How frequent are the meetings?

    • Once per quarter. Ninety-minute meetings.

    • Moving back to an on-site model.

      • Can still attend remotely if needed.

• OneSummit

  • CFPs extended to July 15th

  • Can L3AF get on this agenda?

    • There are a lot of people interested.

• DTF - Novemeber

  • Cross-community. L3af would have a lot of interest.

• Storage strategy

  • Are we still parking this?

  • Would the blob alone allow us to move forward or will we need AKS as well?

    • We don't have external artifacts to upload right now so maybe not.

  • We should leave this parked for a while and then swing back to have another look later.

• Release plan:

  • Jill Lovato. Media for release

  • What kind of release plan do we have?

    • It's in L3AF-arch

  • Time frame?

    • RBAC is the P0. Timeframe: 

    • Next TSC for PoC

    • Estimate: 1 Month

      • Need release notes, code, documentation

    • Lj to talk with Jill about media.

    • OneSummit.

  • FYI: Going back to ~4 major events per year

  • eBPF for Windows - still in progress

  • XDP root for Windows - compiles, not tested.

    • In theory it might work, but we don't know.

    • It's possible within the next month, but we cannot make guarantees.

    • Let's make this non-blocking for the release.

    • How is XDP for Linux tested?

      • It's not. Manual testing is used.

      • Who does the manual testing for release?

        • We need a testing story for the root program.

      • It's okay to release with manual testing as long as someone signs off on it.

      • We might have auto testing in the eBPF-repo repo.

        • Actually, it's here: https://github.com/l3af-project/eBPF-Package-Repository/actions/runs/2510966218

        • https://github.com/microsoft/ebpf-for-windows/actions/runs/2623770483

  • Start thinking about:

    •  Roadmap

      • Release, eBPF for Windows, etc.

      • Roadmap from LFN Induction:

      • Open

        

• Naming convention for our release

  • Use SemVer for versioning

  • We can also have a "snazzy" naming convention such as an animal or a city.

• Github has an eBPF repo

  • Can we use this?

• PR Review

  • Order for PRs to be merged?

    • Reposupport (#69)

      • Added some tests, @Dave Thaler- approved

      • Ready for merge

  • Implement map name (#78)

    • path for TC, but no path for XDP maps

      • Why the difference?

      • Shouldn't they all be in the default path, or all have a relative path?

        • Why should there be a configuration for TC that is impossible to use for XDP

      • Make both use an absolute path

    • Possibility:

      • What if you only have the bpf default path and have the map name be relative?

      • Works for any type.

      • Works on Windows as well.

• Order of PRs: Reposupport, Map names then APIs
