But my secondary goal, assuming trust relationships would be established, had also been the idea of funding OpenWrt developers via prpl. Why not industry direct? Partly not to skew the project toward one specific vendor, but also because industry-direct funding to individual developers, or even professional services companies out of country of the funder, can be problematic (logistically/legally). I lived through some painful attempts. It is wasteful to see industry re-invent the wheel in custom/proprietary or even open source ways, when there are FOSS solutions to a problem. Sometimes industry isn't aware (shame for not looking harder), but often they worry about lack of "control". If prpl could establish the means to collaborate effectively, then we can discourage industry from either being completely redundant, or from forking FOSS projects such as OpenWrt (and direct kernel hacks) into hard-to-maintain dead ends. Regarding PSSP: 1. Frequency. The PSSP funding cycle as proposed is twice per year, and that timeline includes the process of bringing forward ideas, prioritizing them, and then selecting as many implementers as the cycle of that budget allows. "Big" ideas therefore will need to be broken down into pieces. For example, with a goal of auto-update, it may start with a proposed framework or pre-requisite security feature. An idea for cycle 1 could even be a "study" of various autoupdate frameworks and options -- a thorough due diligence analysis, having a reviewed document as the deliverable. 2. Non-exclusivity. There is nothing stopping a prpl member or non-member business from funding any of the proposed project ideas outside of prpl. Going back to the "relationship" and collaboration goal, prpl organizes weekly calls, participates in related industry meetings, and sponsors face-to-face (plus streamed) OpenWrt Summits. These are useful to expose industry and community developers to each other so that they can better collaborate, openly and/or under contract. 3. Positive feedback. If early funding cycle projects are a big success, highly valued by prpl members (and the community), then I would expect that subsequent funding rounds may increase in scope and budget. 4. Themes. Eric mentioned "carrier grade" features. For example (courtesy of an HGI member): a. Network interface diffs between carrier gateways and retail routers. Multiple WAN, VLANS, hybrid streams, ... b. End-to-end QoS/QoE. IPTV reliability, network discovery, spectrum management for LAN/WLAN optimization, inter AP comms, ... c. Telephony support. VoIP, DECT/Cat-iq, FXS/FXO, ... d. Network acceleration offload. Common framework for hw and/or sw based packet processing and acceleration in order to achieve line rate throughout. e. Remote mgmt and firmware or software upgrades. Securely. Include framework for smart gateway -- downloading 3rd party apps. f. Secure firmware. (Need key management analysis - who holds what keys?) Carriers want to protect certain resources such as networking and root gateway management while allowing openness to 3rd party software and services. Want to convince vendors to enable flexibility for technologists, tinkerers, and innovators to unlock hardware for innovation and research, to include full networking stack. g. Power saving. Newer SoCs have more power control knobs -- invoke a framework to take advantage of reduced power modes. h. Automated testing. Already have a start at github.com/qca/boardfarm. i. Deployment support. Dependency on remote management, but to include confidence that major kernel upgrades can occur over time, for increased performance and decreased security risks. j. App environment.

At the OpenWrt Summit held in conjunction with ELCE last October, the concept of prpl helping fund some development, documentation, and other tasks deemed useful to the community was discussed. In the past couple days, Art Swift (prpl Pres) had the opportunity to obtain high-level feedback from a few carriers and operators who have been participating in the Home Gateway Initiative (HGI).

But beginning to fund some of the "carrier grade features" described in my previous e-mail may attract more members from HGI (which is closing), which would help add to the funding budget available. As we begin this process, it will be interesting to see what sorts of projects are proposed by or become the favorites among the community. Good ideas can come from anyone. A side benefit of attracting product vendors and service providers to deploy and manage hardware running OpenWrt, is that it may also cause them to request that silicon vendors do better at kernel upstreaming and OpenWrt contributions. One can hope. ;) > > Openwrt in the IoT days in my opinion should be put under Linux Foundation. I like the idea of an OpenWrt Foundation under the Linux Foundation too. prpl Foundation != OpenWrt Foundation. We simply initiated a PEG inside prpl to facilitate better communication and collaboration between industry and community. (Since an OpenWrt Foundation did not exist.) Tactically, we want feedback on the funding idea. If there is a resounding thumbs down, no worries, it won't happen.

They may want to be, but may not have the opportunity or can't justify it because prpl is still too much of an unknown brand. Perhaps having an "OpenWrt Foundation" would help justify more engagement, akin to how industry developers are able to participate in Linux Foundation events. Then prpl can have a layer on top of that to help bridge industry to community a bit more from the business requirements side. >> >> To this day I don't know if there is some strategic communication going >> on about this inside prpl that is just not communicated to us, or if the >> prpl members simply don't bother to talk about this stuff and only drop >> off some buzzword lists of high level things they wish for, without >> actually bothering to go into specific details. >> I've heard rumors leaning towards one or the other side, but I don't >> know much about what's actually going on

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I do not see why you cannot apply these same "principles" of openness and transparency to the OpenWrt project. Makes no sense to me to branch the project. That simply divides the resources in the community into fewer numbers working on each fork. Also wearing my hat within the prpl Foundation, which is funded by industry sponsorships that in turn provides financial support for OpenWrt, no one I have spoken to in prpl understands the reason for this spin-off either.

It seems to me that the bigger the company, the less likely they are to give back. One of the goals of the prpl Foundation was to help big industry members to better "see" that problem, and to use prpl to help them do something about it. I see two main reasons for the lack of contributions problem (not developer fault). 1. short-term focus. Industry rushes to meet product release schedules and managers are too often not aware of the downstream maintenance burdens they will face later, by not integrating their changes properly into the Linux kernel (and OpenWrt). 2. legal. I could blab about this problem for days, but mainly there is a fear of open source licensing when compared to the value of giving back. This type of FUD problem is perhaps one that prpl could help address too, through educational efforts. As an example of a contribution, prpl is promoting the OpenWrt "board farm" project, intended to support automated testing (of trunk) on various platforms on a daily basis. The test framework was in fact contributed by industry. Now imagine the new problem that industry faces if they want to give back. Do they have to push changes back into two different/similar project branches? Do they need to setup two board farms or double the test time? Will some companies choose to push to OpenWrt and others to LEDE, leaving the end-user to figure out which project's software will run on their board? In my opinion, the OpenWrt core team members need to setup some policies and procedures (e.g., take ideas from the LEDE objectives) that allow the fairness and flexibility that is desired, so that only one OpenWrt development branch continues to be developed. Reducing the core team to the LEDE subgroup will take away from the diversity of the project at the core, and I don't see that as a good thing. Yes, collaboration in a diverse environment is harder, but research has shown repeatedly that companies with staff diversity perform better. kathy ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

If it is too late to stop the "project" teams from having their independence from each other, can there at least be a common core for both projects, where all the kernel and board support stuff lives for example? And whatever else makes sense not to be duplicated? Let the differences exist at a higher layer, ideally more cosmetic. Share as much as possible. Communicate ideas for the common core openly. Leverage each others skills for a greater overall benefit. Would this idea work? I recommend that both groups propose whatever solutions they can think of to reduce duplication of effort and to avoid further community confusion and frustration. kathy ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

Alexey, Is there a particular reason that this architecture must be submitted to OpenWrt under the terms GPL v3+? I would prefer that OpenWrt stick to GPL v2 in order to maintain better compatibility with the Linux kernel (kernel.org). The kernel is primarily GPL v2 licensed (or something FreeBSD-like which is more, not less, permissive). The OpenWrt distro has only a few GPL v3 package exceptions, such as samba. The OpenWrt core team are doing a good job building a better industry-community relationship for OpenWrt, which I think can be a win-win for overall project improvement (brings in more developer resources, much like kernel development depends on industry developers). Introducing more GPL v3 packages makes it problematic for certain industry partners to be able to fully collaborate. kathy ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

From a PR perspective, I strongly suggest keeping the term OpenWrt as part of the branding of the project moving forward. It can just be cosmetic (web site, etc.) but the name has so much history, and positive connotation, that you don't want to lose that brand attached to the development moving forward. happy holidays all! kg ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

I would agree. Have you all noticed that Kalle Valo (Qualcomm Atheros) took over for John Linville as upstream Linux wireless drivers maintainer? That is a big job, which is on top of the ath10k upstream 11ac Wi-Fi driver he maintains. And technical challenges are not the only hurdles. If you peer inside a large company you'd see how tough it is to promote open source development in general, due mostly to PHB FUD. Despite such roadblocks, there are developers who care deeply about proper upstream and open source development. And although certainly in the minority at large companies, their talent is usually exceptional. Arend Van Spriel is an example of dedication to the community despite the lack of broader open source support from his company. He's a guy we should cheer, not blame. It can be quite painful for upstream developers to deal with engineering managers who "don't get" what they do or why it is so important. I applaud the developers who have the courage to stick with it. Trying to do upstreaming from outside of a semiconductor company (without access to the inside scoop) is really hard, which is why it is important to hang in there. I also don't think poor performance can be tied only to Wi-Fi. System performance "tuning" done to the core Linux networking stack, including bridging and routing functions, can also make a big difference. If only the tweaks used to tune commercial products were applied upstream. :( And finally, I have met several core OpenWrt developers and they rock. Without much in terms of financial resources and even with a small group, their sheer talent and enthusiasm has created an incredibly successful embedded Linux distribution. It is the "go to" distro that enables developers with the source code they need to develop further innovation. kg ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
