Thanks for summarizing Alan. I'm in favor of fixing these inconsistencies and will help where I can. Given that the protocol document is stable and also contains apparent contradictions, I'm...

We discussed issues with the OTLP retry spec broadly in the 8/7/14 and 8/14/24 TC meetings. I wrote a [document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/15otXaN_o_nwnTClZIv3PCVwGjF4NqiqlUtL6G7qeBaI/edit#heading=h.l1yvwkeh0j8l) summarizing a number of somewhat overlapping OTLP retry issues, and...

Some things I came across with #357: We have situations like `AttributeLimits`, which is an object type, and if not set or null, implementations should use `attribute_value_length_limit: null` (no limit)...

Stabilizing this is blocked by the spec. This feature is still "in development" at the spec level: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/trace/sdk.md#tracerconfigurator

> @brunobat is there any corresponding incubating or internal API that needs to be deprecated (or was this never exposed at all)? These are available for experimental use via Sdk{Signal}ProviderUtil,...

Discussed in the 8/21/24 TC SIG. This is something we want to see happen, but it needs a sponsor. - API for creating histogram needs to be updated with a...

> 👋 -- Happy to work on this. You'll need to have a [spec sponsor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/community-members.md#specifications-and-proto) volunteer to sponsor you. Are any @open-telemetry/spec-sponsors interested? > If that's correct, I wonder how...

> I would expect this property to be used in configuring JUL in the java implementation, would that not be the case? Is there an alternative configuration property available to...

I didn't realize that php and c++ had implemented this. Cool! That means this feature meets the prototype requirement for stabilization. Curious if anyone has encountered any feedback that would...

Closing as this is resolved with the new OTLP stdout exporters: `OtlpStdoutLogRecordExporter`, `OtlpStdoutSpanExporter`, `OtlpStdoutMetricExporter` Available for reference in `OTEL_{SIGNAL}_EXPORTER` via `experimental-otlp/stdout`.
