Re: Call for Foundation-supported Project Ideas

+1 on jail management in base…

1.  Can we either shim the jail tooling with CNI or provide CNI support in the tooling so projects requiring containers can leverage jails?

2. Control of BSD network stack via CNI…

3. Would be great if bhyve also leveraged CNI…

I might be advocating for CBSD unintentionally. It is quite impressive what they’ve accomplished, though I prefer the approach vm-bhyve (churches) took which feels like a fluid mechanism for interacting with bhyve more so than CBSD.  Bastille is also a good option or project to evaluate in regards to virtualization/container management of FreeBSD guests.

All that being said, I’m not terribly particular, beyond I think CNI might be a good integration point regardless of the localized tooling design.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello FreeBSD community,

The Foundation is seeking suggestions for new projects to support.  What
gaps in the Project are not being addressed by the broader community?

You can read about past Foundation-supported projects at
https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/projects/ and the Foundation's
four main areas of focus in the 'Technology Roadmap' article at
https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/technology-roadmap/.

Right now we are gathering ideas.  We will send out a call for project
grant proposals soon.  If you prefer to send your project ideas directly
to the Foundation, we will be monitoring responses at
techteam@freebsdfoundation.org.

Hey Joseph,

Thanks for sending this out!

Here's just a few things I'd love to see:

1. wireless mesh support. this would go _a long_ ways for supporting
  human rights efforts.
2. 100% llvm toolchain for base and ports. freebsd seems to already be
  going in this direction.
3. jail orchestration in base. it's great that we have all these
  disparate jail management ports, but we lack a fully
  coherent/integreated solution. I'd love to see jail orchestration
  get the same love as zfs in base.
4. tor browser bundle (port from openbsd?)

That's at least what I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks again,
