Hello all Op1st,

Let me open this thread by welcoming Sally O'Malley, who is interested in bringing OpenTelemetry to the Operate First community cloud.

Welcome, Sally! Great to have you here. This forum/mailing list is the new central communication hub for community discussions, as the open access and archives counterpart to the discussions happening around artifacts in the git repositories and in unstructured chat

Speaking of which, here is the issue I opened on the Community Board to help keep track of all the steps and movement involved:

I haven't been involved in onboarding a project yet, so I'm excited to work with Sally on my first one. Sally and I have mostly worked together around DevConf.US, where Sally is event Co-Chair and a great leader to follow. I'm confident inviting her to jump right in and start engaging with everyone, and I'll follow around and keep notes.

For simplicity of keeping all aware of the conversation, let's use this thread and start discussing what and how to bring OpenTelemetry experimental features to Operate First users, and how to begin delivering Op1st environment value back to OTel as an environment user/contributor. I'll reply to this message to take a part of the thread into the "what does this look like for everyone" discussion.

Kind regards,

- Karsten
