This page was created at the request of the TSC to provide a list of areas where the Tungsten Fabric Community needs support.
Community needs to Address following category of issues.
Repo Migration:
Repo migration to Tungsten Fabric needs to be completed, allowing community to establish processes and procedures as per LFN guidelines.
This is also one of the important part for community to come out of incubation phase.
Community needs to have a better track of repo move and challenges, which will enable community to establish better transparency and collaboration
Trade Mark:
Repos have a very large context of references to Juniper's Trademark Contrail, which limits participating community members to do their version of distribution for Tungsten Fabric.
Hence limiting the participation in Tungsten Fabric community.
This needs to be address on urgent basis or a stop gap solution needs to be achieved, which will help attracting more community members to participate.
Segregation of private information from technology:
Many of the commits messages in repo have vauge comments or references to urls private to organisations, participating organisations need to ensure segregation of private information from the technology/architecture/gist of the commit made, allow commit message to be complete in itself.
This allows and encourage community members to review and comment on changes if they have any objections.
Discussion of Blueprints and feature development:
development of new features have to follow a process and needs to be transparent with other participating members, giving a chance to have a discussion and to be able to arrive at a better, toughened architecture or solution for the feature proposed.
Participating in Community discussions:
All the Active commiters are expected to participate in community discussion on various channels established for community.
Unblocking pending commits:
Many of the commits were blocked due to non-technical reasons, which have forced submitters to either abandon or take their code changes downstream.
- Repo Migration
- Code development not being done on gerrit.tungsten.io
- Commits not being merged
- Repos that have not yet migrated are having commits being ignored or rejected for non-technical reasons.
- Trademark issues in the Codebase
- Developer Onboarding Guide
- A new Developer Onboarding Guide is in the works, however, additional resources would be very helpful.

- Marek Chwal, the new Community Release Manager will be working with the community to improve our release planning.
- Gerrit to GitHub migration
- docs repo is almost finished migrating
- Currently building documentation on the migration process to look at migrating codebase from gerrit.tungsten.io
