Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).

OpenServerless

19 Mar 2025

Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.

19 Feb 2025

OpenServerless is an open source, cloud-agnostic, serverless platform. It
offers a complete environment for serverless applications development, based
on Kubernetes. With Apache OpenWhisk as its FaaS engine, it provides an
unified developer experience with a plethora of services (SQL or noSQL
databases, key-value stores, object storage, LLMs services, function
schedulers) managed by the platform's core: the operator, along with tooling
(the CLI) to simplify (and interact with) deployments, integrated ide and
starter application and optimized runtimes integrated with the staters.

OpenServerless has been incubating since 2024-06-17.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. Community Building
 2. Review the status of all subprojects and align documentation
 3. Assess the requirements for the First Release

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
 No

### How has the community developed since the last report?

 1. We tried, through posts on various social networks, to give visibility
 to the project
 2. We organized and publicized a training course focused on the use of
 Apache OpenServerless and IA.
 3. Started a Discord channel to support people learning OpenServerless
 with the AI course

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 1. The porting from the community version of Nuvolaris has been completed
 2. We have therefore focused on making the system stable, making the CLI
 more robust and the openserverless-tasks sub-project that collects the
 automation and integration scripts more organic
 3. We have brought the test suite to verify the functioning of the
 Kubernetes operator on all supported versions (k3s, k8s, docker, aks, eks,
 gks, openshift)
 4. We have published the site with the official documentation and made
 various updates to it
