Following up on AI Generated Contribution Discussion
by Julia Kreger 05 May '25

05 May '25

Greetings everyone, During our last board meeting, we revisited the AI Generated Contribution policy discussion and I'm curious if other board members would be interested in having an informal call to discuss possible changes and begin to organize a revision to the current policy. Would 16:00 UTC next Tuesday work for interested parties? Thanks, -Julia

Personally, I generally prefer giving folks as much notice as possible. If the week after would work, I suspect we may have better attendance for a focused discussion. Would 1600 UTC on May 6th work for you? Honestly, I suspect the foundation mailing list not be ideal to solicit such discussion, but your email does float the overall idea of possible change incoming, so it is a logical progression to drive into focused discussions to move such a topic forward. -Julia On Tue, Apr 22, 2025 at 7:31 AM Eoghan Glynn <eglynn(a)redhat.com> wrote: > > > Definitely interested since I brought the topic up ... though I'll be travelling to a customer onsite next week, so may not be able to join.

Revising the AI Generated Content policy
by Eoghan Glynn 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Fellow community members, The Foundation board meeting <https://board.openinfra.org/meetings/2025-04-08> today discussed some potential changes to the OpenInfra AI Generated Content Policy <https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy> that we adopted as a community almost a year ago. For the OpenStack projects at least (these just happen to be the ones I looked at), the current usage of the "Generated-By:" label in landed commit messages is vanishingly low. After some discussion with individual contributors on why it isn't being more widely used, it seems that the tab-completion/predictive style of AI tool usage isn't always well described by the "Generated-By:" label. The suggestive style of tool usage seems to be most prevalent in reality, whereas generating *entire* code artifacts via progressively refined prompts seems to be less common. Contributors may be reluctant to grant co-authorship "credit" to an AI when the code suggested by the tool was subsequently heavily reworked by them, and/or only constituted only a small fraction of the LOCs in the patch series. So the idea has been floated to augment the policy with a further label that has a softer connotation, perhaps "Assisted-By:" or something of that nature. That change might only need to impact a single section of the policy[1]. The goal here would simply be to make it more likely that any usage of AI tools to co-create community code is accurately reflected in our commit messages. We will likely spin up a working group or subcommittee of the board to discuss the proposed policy revision. We will also check what other FOSS communities are doing, since the current "Generated-By:" label was originally inspired by the Apache Software Foundation generative tooling guidance <https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html>. Thanks, Eoghan [1] " - For contributions created using a Predictive AI tool: - If your commit includes substantial suggestions from the tool, add the “Generated-By” label to your commit message and explain in comments or the commit message any context the reviewers might need to understand the change and how much of the change came from the tool. " -- Eoghan Glynn He/Him/His Senior Director, OpenStack Engineering Dublin, Ireland M: +353-86-8175024 <https://www.redhat.com>

OpenInfra Summit Europe Scheduled for October 2025
by Allison Price 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

Hi everyone, I wanted to share the exciting news that we have officially scheduled the OpenInfra Summit Europe for October 17-19, 2025, at École Polytechnique near Paris, France. The event will be targeting 1,000-1,500 attendees. We will be announcing this update in an OpenInfra blog post this morning, but I wanted to share the dates and venue with you in advance. You can read the announcement here: https://openinfra.dev/blog/openinfra-summit-2025. The website will be updated soon, but we wanted to get this information out ASAP so the community and ecosystem can start planning. We are very excited to have over 20 community volunteers who are helping to make this Summit happen. If you have members of your team who would like to participate, please have them email Helena Spease at helena(a)openinfra.dev <mailto:helena@openinfra.dev>. Next week, we will be launching registration, the CFP as well as sponsorship opportunities and plan to promote the event at KubeCon EU. A few things that are still in the works: We are working to add some co-located events, including potential on-site collaboration with the Ceph and Kubernetes communities. We are exploring the possibility of hosting a Virtualization Migration Day for organizations to highlight their VMware migration experience and build more OpenStack awareness as a virtualization alternative given feedback from OpenInfra member organizations and momentum behind this market opportunity. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I look forward to connecting more when the official announcement goes live. Thank you for all of your patience as we pulled these details together. Cheers, Allison Allison Price VP of Marketing & Community p: +1-214-686-6821
