License

All OpenTelemetry projects are shipped under the permissive Apache 2.0 license as CNCF IP Policy dictates. This blog post explains the reasoning behind choosing this license.

Logos and Brand Guide

The OpenTelemetry logos and brand guide can be found in the CNCF artwork repository.

Community Meetings

We host monthly community video conferences, alternating between times that work for Europe and Asia. These meetings are open to all contributors!

Meeting invites can be accessed from our public Calendar (web, gCal, iCal), and we keep public notes in the agenda document available here.

Special Interest Groups

We organize the community into Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in order to improve our workflow and more easily manage a community project.

Please do not hesitate to contact SIG owners if the proposed time of the meeting or tools used are unavailable for you. For instance, it will be a good practice to alternate morning/evening meetings once SIG has representatives from 3 largely distinct timezones. The best way to report it and suggest an alternative is to file an issue on this repository or discuss it in SIG-specific gitter channel.

Cross-language specification

This is a group for people interested in writing cross-language specifications and participate in high-level design discussions. SIG will be led by the members of a Technical Committee @open-telemetry/technical-committee. It is recommended for all members of @open-telemetry/specs-approvers and open for all.

Meeting will be held every Tuesday at 8 AM pacific time. Meeting notes are held in this google doc.
