Start the Recording
We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Automated build - GitHub actions - Satya to provide an update
PR to add to ebpf.io/projects - WIP
Make a list of topics that we would like to discuss in TSC meetings
- Simplifying chaining
- KF marketplace
- eBPF program chaining in K8S
- Centralized policy management
- LOE to make L3AF cross-platform.
- Socket program types - supporting arbitrary program types
- Support for other languages:
  - Presumably, there may be no perf advantage (in terms of concurrency, mem management, CPU, etc) in running L3AFD in other languages, best to quantify this in the future.
  - Plugin-based model on top of go-based l3afd for user-space programs
