Introduction
China Project Sandbox is to facilitate a mechanism for current or potential contributors from China to EdgeX Foundry community, foster or enable them to show case their proposed features or projects widely, solicit feedback easily, advocate values broadly and promote their code to official code base repos finally.
We may now consider both physical or virtual approaches both in different casesonly virtual approach after China Project face to face preparing meeting on Dec 17, 2019.
Virtual sandbox
China Project only provides evangelism support to orchestrate along the process potential contributions are accepted by the community, but we don't provide any actual IT resources to make it happen, including but not limited to: code repo and bug tracking services at Github, dev/test beds, etc.
Examples:
- Kuiper: rule engine in Go provided by EMQ
Physical sandbox
China Project provides both evangelism and engineering support to accelerate potential contributions to be accepted by EdgeX community, including part or all IT resources like code repos in Github, dev/test beds etc.- , integrated in Geneva release
- Helm Chart & Kubernetes Operator support: implementation by VMware, integrated with Geneva release
Accepted contributions
Contributions from China which are already accepted by EdgeX Foundry community, as official features.
