Propose OpenEBS into CNCF Sandbox #224
Conversation
This PR is to propose OpenEBS into CNCF Sandbox. Here is a link to the presentation we gave about OpenEBS to the CNCF Storage WG. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MEx9EyvFW1cLZhFxUvWVd4bzoRS7PNnMqgmbIZaoulw/edit OpenEBS Community is pretty excited at the prospect of being in CNCF Sandbox and so are some of the users we reached out to with this idea in the past 2 weeks. All of them saw this is a logical next step for an always open source project like OpenEBS. Also we have some traditional storage vendors and cloud service providers as well that will be more able to contribute once OpenEBS is in the CNCF as opposed to being seen as a one vendor project.

We've been using OpenEBS from the start with our project (9 months). Having it part of CNCF would not only boost the relevance of OpenEBS to the community but it would help us in promoting our product to our customers. It's a critical part of our infrastructure and I'm sure it will be a critical part of many projects to come. It's just so damn easy to use! |

| none in the short term. We currently use Travis CI, but we may want to use CNCF resources to deploy Jenkins for node E2E test. |

Do you pay for Travis CI (for more concurrent job for example) or just the free version for now?

We have setup using the free version for now.

openebs would be a great addition to CNCF and would foster a neutral ground for future storage developments in the space. |

I have been playing around with OpenEBS for quite some time. Amazing project with great documentation. The community is very vibrant and helpful. Tight integration with Kubernetes will make it a great addition to CNCF and a big value add to customers. |
As per the review comments, modified the website content to be vendor neutral and open sourced the website code at https://github.com/openebs/website and hosted at https://openebs.org Signed-off-by: kmova <[email protected]>

Confirmed. I have one question though. We can discuss on the TOC call |

OpenEBS Community is pretty excited at the prospect of being in CNCF Sandbox and so are some of the users we reached out to with this idea in the past 2 weeks. All of them saw this is a logical next step for an always open source project like OpenEBS.

Many thanks to the members in the CNCF Storage WG @quinton-hoole, @xing-yang, @chira001 and the TOC members Alexis Richardson and Xiang Li for taking time to listen, coach and help us raise this proposal.
