Purpose and Objective

Akraino Blueprints benefited from the health upstream projects, such as Kubernetes, Linux, DPDK. In order To bring better values from the Blueprints into broad adoption, it is proposed to establish Akraino regional communities and work with local communities as the Akraino open source Downstream. It is expected this will help Akraino downstream communities in collaborating, integrating and sharing the Blueprints with Akraino Community, and drive additional value by new projects across verticals with Blueprints to accelerate deployment of use cases.

Policy

To better operate the regional communities, each community will need to follow the policies and guidelines from LF Edge and Akraino, including following explicit rules:

• Antitrust Policy - Linux Foundation

• Not participate in any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws.

• Open Policy and Vendor Neutral. Each Blueprints may allow to have limitations in supporting a certain architecture or a certain hardware/software.

Operational Procedures

• Local community lab submits anthe application and web landing page, marked as pending review.
• API and Upstream/Downstream subcommittees assist in initial check on rules and policy
• If passed by subcommittees, the local community lab will be scheduled forto TSC for review and voting approval. If passed by TSC votereview, the local community lab application and landing page will be consideredmarked as approved.
• During ongoingcontinues operations, the local community lab mustwill need to follow allthe Linux Foundation and TSC rules and policies. For significant changes in operation, the TSC must be updatedplease update TSC.
• Violation of the LF Linux Foundation policies or TSC rules may result in disqualification of the local community lab from Akraino.
