OTel Me More: OpenTelemetry Project News – Vol 22

OpenTelemetry Project News

There are now two SIGs for metrics and logs, respectively. If you are interested in joining the weekly meetings, please follow along the public calendar for the most up-to-date scheduling.

The .NET sphere brings a lot of updates this week:

• Steeltoe, a .NET framework that provides libraries for quickly creating cloud-native microservices, is now using OpenTelemetry for its metrics endpoint
• The .NET design team is making a host of improvements around OpenTelemetry integrations

These OpenTelemetry SIGs are looking for extra support! Open source efforts rely on developers like you -- get involved with one of these implementations:

• OTel-Rust is looking for contributors and maintainers
• OTel-PHP is looking for contributors and maintainers
• OTel-C++ is looking for contributors and maintainers
• OTel-Ruby has seen a lot of contributions, but would benefit from having more dedicated maintainers

This week’s Featured Issues:

• OpenTelemetry-dotnet #405: Automate W3C trace-context test suite run
• OpenTelemetry-dotnet #425: Add Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus adapter
