What is the End User Working Group?

There are two primary goals of the End User Working Group:

  • Foster a sense of vendor-agnostic community for OpenTelemetry end-users to promote learning and adoption. We currently accomplish this through: Organization and facilitation of End User Discussion Group & Administration of a private end-user discussion slack channel.
  • Facilitate the collection and communication of end-user feedback to OpenTelemetry project special interest groups to influence SIG priorities. We currently accomplish this through: Creation and maintenance of end-user research assets such as OpenTelemetry Community surveys & Organization and facilitation of structured end-user interview sessions.

Our group discourages promotion of vendor-specific solutions and desires to keep the focus on OpenTelemetry core technologies, adoption and usage.

Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved in our work! We (End User Working Group) meet every two weeks on Thursdays at 10:00 AM PST. Check out the OpenTelemetry community calendar for the Zoom link and any updates to this schedule.

Meeting notes are available as a public Google doc. If you have trouble accessing the doc, please get in touch on Slack.
