CNCF member company employee here. The working groups I've paid close attention to are very collaborative and open, they even preface their slide decks with a strict antitrust notice. Redpoint has an investment in and obviously some level of interest in one of their portfolio company's FaaS offering. It's kind of surprising that you prefice your comment on being "left out" while mentioning the aid of Redpoint. Has the CNCF or one of its working groups not been receptive when you or a team member has looked to contribute? How does your "censensus building" differ from what they are doing?
In any case, this thread might be a good place to call out specific differences between StdLib and those other, more established CNCF members.
- keithwhor 9y agoI don’t have any bones to pick with the CNCF: we’ve had opportunities to get connected and become involved, it’s just not in our best interests at this point to be super proactive. There’s so much surface area left to innovate upon and we have a finite amount of resources (we doubled our team size recently and will be doubling again shortly). You’re doing a fantastic job, and this whitepaper is great! I’d love to add in our $0.02 in the future, but that’s probably best done over e-mail: you can email me or I’m happy to reach out. The differences in consensus building we’re doing are specifically around Serverless APIs and Serverless technology as a means to lower the barrier to entry into software development as a whole. There are some moving parts here that I’m not comfortable sharing publicly yet, but they’ll be announced likely by end of quarter.
