Topics discussed

  • 5.0.0 coming soon!
    • Several more 4.x releases still coming first.
  • Open Source Friday - organized by GitHub
    • This friday - event on Community Calendar
  • How can we further engage across the community when planning new CHT versions?
    • Feature prioritization, release cadence, etc.
    • Releases are coming quite fast. Only the last three minor releases are officially supported. Some partners find it difficult to remain on a supported version.
    • More targeted conversations are planned for this.
    • Suggested options:
      • Continuous Deployment
      • LTS releases
      • Less frequent release cadence
    • Some large MoH deployments can only upgrade once per year. We are releasing so frequently that a minor release is rarely supported for the whole year.
    • Have not had any reported bugs since 4.8.0 - but sometimes things like integrations break and need core code changed.
  • Question about helm charts
    • Hoping to merge the helm charts used in the automated tests with the charts used when deploying in production.
    • Helm charts get bloated very quicky.
    • Also currently do not have a good way to map a particular version of the prod helm charts with a specific version of the CHT.
    • First, simplify charts and store in cht-core. Then we can look at furthur streamlining the deployment process for CHT on k8s.
