• Roadmap for 2024
• Community updates (new contributors or maintainers, new companies involved, people leaving the project, etc)
• Governance updates (high profile changes in policies, newly elected individuals)
• Security updates (if any)
• Fun facts
• Any other news the project would like to share

@e-backmark-ericsson the Jenkins project has a CDEvents project idea for Google Summer of Code but we would really benefit from one or more lead mentors from organizations that use CDEvents. Kris Stern is in the CDF slack channel if you're interested in discussing it further.

Here the updates for Project Shipwright:

Features and release:

Our latest release v0.12.0 marks a significant milestone with the introduction of the Shipwright Beta API. This is the result of accumulated experience operating the alpha API in Production environments, coupled with valuable user feedback.

Adoption updates:

Within RedHat OpenShift, starting with OpenShift version 4.14.

Contribution trends:

While contributions have shown an increase since the second quarter of 2023, we acknowledge that the overall quantity remains modest.

Security updates

In our commitment to ensure the security of Project Shipwright, we've made significant improvements in CVEs handling. Additionally, the adoption of PodSecurity Policies aligns our components with Security Best Practices. We've also implemented a SHIP on release branching backports to address security concerns promptly.

Any other news the project would like to share

We opened a proposal to transition Project Shipwright to CNCF Sandbox.

Thanks for that update @MarkEWaite ! I'm wondering how that would relate to the existing CDEvents plugin contributed by Fidelity: https://plugins.jenkins.io/cdevents/. I'll reach out to Kris to dig deeper into the GSoC proposal.
