Oh hai there Apache Mesos Community! Back again with your monthly update on current events in the Mesosverse:
*Working Groups* Below you'll find a brief summary of the group meetings from this past month, as well as some info about related work that's been happening in the project. Working group meetings can be found on the Mesos community calendar <http://mesos.apache.org/community/#events-calendar>, and you should feel free to add agenda items beforehand! *API Working Group* [Agenda Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JrF7pA6gcBZ6iyeP5YgDG62ifn0cZIBWw1f_Ler6fLM/edit#> ] Next Meeting: April 3 @ 11am PST In March we held the first two meetings of the new API working group! This has brought about a revival of our perennial discussion on the preferred Mesos release cadence; you can expect an updated release policy in our documentation shortly. It's looking like the new policy will be in line with what we have been doing in practice for the last few releases, so no big changes there. Zhitao also presented his ongoing work on new operations which will allow the growing/shrinking of persistent volumes. You can find his design doc here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z16okNG8mlf2eA6NyW_PUmBfNFs_6EOaPzPtwYNVQUQ/edit> . *Containerization Working Group* [Agenda Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z55a7tLZFoRWVuUxz1FZwgxkHeugtc2nHR89skFXSpU/edit> ] Next meeting: April 5 @ 9am PST Two big items in the containerization space this month: - Improvements to the Docker containerizer/executor to more gracefully handle bugs in the Docker daemon: MESOS-8572 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8572> - Configurable network namespaces for nested containers: MESOS-8534 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8534> *Community Working Group* [Agenda Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vgi434dYkkZHs49EK4F4eMmM-3JG4f3qg-N5En-4ubg/edit#> ] Next Meeting: April 9 @ 10:30am PST Community working group had a preliminary discussion about the next quarterly doc-a-thon, and discussed the possibility of spinning up a new Releases Working Group. We also discussed plans for the next MesosCon, and how we may want to evolve that event going forward. *Performance Working Group* [Agenda Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/12hWGuzbqyNWc2l1ysbPcXwc0pzHEy4bodagrlNGCuQU/edit> ] Next meeting: April 18 @ 10am PST We now have a performance dashboard <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=238&view=planning> which lets you view tickets in ASF JIRA which have been marked as performance-related - take a look! Some additional copy elimination <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8628> patches have been merged, with more yet to come. The group also discussed the near-term performance roadmap, which includes optimization of authentication/authorization, master state computation, and the libprocess HTTP code; see the agenda document for more details. Until next time, -Greg
