OpenTelemetry End-User SIG
What is the End-User SIG?
There are two primary goals of the End-User SIG:
- Foster a sense of vendor-agnostic community for OpenTelemetry end-users to promote learning and adoption. We currently accomplish this through: CNCF Slack channel, panels and blog posts.
- Facilitate the collection and communication of end-user feedback to OpenTelemetry project special interest groups to influence SIG priorities. We currently accomplish this through: creation and maintenance of end-user research assets such as OpenTelemetry Community surveys & organization and facilitation of structured end-user interview sessions.
Our group discourages promotion of vendor-specific solutions and desires to keep the focus on OpenTelemetry core technologies, adoption and usage.
Get Involved
There are many ways to get involved in our work! We (End-User SIG) meet every two weeks on Thursdays at 10:00 PT/13:00 ET/19:00 CET. Check out the OpenTelemetry Community calendar for the Zoom link and any updates to this schedule.
Meeting notes are available as a public Google doc. If you have trouble accessing the doc, please get in touch on Slack.
