Dear LFN TAC,

The ODIM community is a bold collaborative open source initiative to bring together a critical mass of physical infrastructure management and infrastructure/service orchestration stakeholders to define and execute collaborative work focused on creating new critical open source building blocks, in areas such as composition, aggregation and telemetry, define new models and APIs, as well as influence key extensions to the DMTF Redfish® specifications that ODIM builds upon. This community will coordinate with other key SDOs and open source communities, with a focus on automation, simplification, consistency and interoperability of COTS and OSS infrastructure management solutions resulting in acceleration of infrastructure deployments across segments, while lowering operational complexity and cost.

Since June of 2020 ODIM has been an unfunded LF project and has been steadily building a robust and diverse community. Release 20.01 was released in January 2021, and the next release is on target for August 2021.

This email is formal request for LFN induction review, as a Sandbox project, during the March 10, 2021 Technical Advisory Council (TAC) meeting. The Project Induction Proposal Material is provided for your review.

We look forward to a discussion with the LFN TAC on March 10.

Best,

Alex Vul

ODIM Project TAC representative
