archive `kubeflow/fate-operator` repository

[thesuperzapper]

This repository has not had a code commit since Jun 2, 2021, therefore I propose we archive it to reflect that it is no longer in development.

Today during community call we discussed if Fate Operator should be archived. @kubeflow/wg-training-leads @tenzen-y @kuizhiqing @zw0610 @owlet42 @LaynePeng @jiahaoc1993 Do we want to adopt Fate Operator to Kubeflow Training Operator ? Currently Kubeflow doesn't have any story around Federated Learning and it might be nice to see features around this area.

I can see that FATE project has KubeFate component: https://github.com/FederatedAI/KubeFATE. @owlet42 @jiahaoc1993 @LaynePeng @hainingzhang Should we have a discussion around collaboration between FATE and Kubeflow communities to see if there are any benefits that Kubeflow can provide to adopt running FATE on Kubernetes ?

I am looking forward to your suggestions!

It would be nice if someone from FATE community could join our next Kubeflow Training and AutoML WG Community Call on this Wednesday at September 6th 5pm UTC (10am PST), so we can discuss topics around Fate Operator in Kubeflow.

What do you think @LaynePeng @nemirorox @talkingwallace @owlet42 @hainingzhang ?

Do we want to adopt Fate Operator to Kubeflow Training Operator ?

I don't have strong motivations to consolidate fate-controller with training-operator.

I don't have strong motivations to consolidate fate-controller with training-operator.

+1 archive it would be OK.

[LaynePeng]

I need to confirm if a project has been achieved, it still can be accessed, downloaded, and cloned, right? If yes, we are okay to archive the fate-operator project.

[andreyvelich]

it still can be accessed, downloaded, and cloned, right?

That's correct, similar to kfctl: https://github.com/kubeflow/kfctl, users can access and fork it.

@LaynePeng Would you like to attend any of our Kubeflow community meetings to discuss potential collaboration between KubeFate and Kubeflow projects ?

[LaynePeng]

So it looks good because we still have some users of the fate-operator.

and for attending the community meeting, absolutely good. I will check the community meeting calendar and get back.

[andreyvelich]

Thank you @LaynePeng! @jbottum Please can you allocate some time during one of our Kubeflow community meetings to discuss FATE & Kubeflow potential integrations.

[jbottum]

I will put it on the agenda

Hi Folks, do we have any updates here @LaynePeng @nemirorox @talkingwallace @owlet42 @hainingzhang ? We are planning to archive this repo in 2 weeks if we don't hear back from you. cc @kubeflow/kubeflow-steering-committee
