tag-app-delivery Establishing an Application Development Working Group

Throughout the last year, we have seen an increasing need for a home for Cloud Native Application Development-related projects and topics. To make a start, the TAG Leadership decided to spin up a working group to deal with this topic with the ultimate goal of making this a TAG in the long term (as discussed with @Riaankl).

APIs (https://github.com/cncf/tag-app-delivery/issues/531), SDKs, and development frameworks for cloud-native applications are examples of topics that would be in scope for this Working Group.

Therefore, we defined the following Action Items:

- [x] Finding interested people who want to drive the establishment process
- [x] Work on a charter and the scope of the working group
- [x] Make the working group operational and start working
- [x] Submit Charter / README and Leadership to TOC Liasons for formal approval (https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1311)
- [ ] add WG to website
- [ ] https://github.com/cncf/tag-app-delivery/issues/627
- [ ] add meeting to CNCF calendar

Initially, the TAG Leadership will drive the process together with @salaboy.

The current version of the charter can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QrMlQGg9etKghHkVoQxCB8wUzvq_8Wvq3NEwR1eU2bw/edit?usp=sharing.

We kindly ask the community to express their interest and also help us defining the scope of the WG. To contribute, please join us on the CNCF Slack #wg-app-development

It was great to talk to the TAG App delivery folks at Kubecon. Thank you for driving this initiative. I have created two files that would be the starting point for this initiative. Please collaborate in these files to create a README and Charter for the Working Group. For the moment anyone with a link to the file can edit it. Please use comments and suggestion to collaborate on the docuements.

Please contact me on Slack if you need assistance setting up a kick-off meeting.

Mar 25 '24 14:03 riaankleinhans

Thank you all for commenting out here.. I will work a bit on the files created by @Riaankl , if you want to add comments or use suggestion mode that will be great.

Mar 25 '24 15:03 salaboy

I added goals and non goals, not sure if they are consistent enough. The subject is very broad!

Mar 25 '24 20:03 Titof974

@Titof974 please use suggestion mode or add comments.. if not it gets really hard for me to review and understand changes

Mar 26 '24 08:03 salaboy

Great idea! 100% agree with the necessity since I got the same feedback and requests from many community app developers and architects at KubeCon and open source conferences in the past.
