[DISCUSSION] Solution without closed source dependencys · Issue #75 · corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android · GitHub #lineageos, #android, #corona
EDIT: tl;dr: We are working an an open implementation of the Google/Apple protocol (I call it PPCP, which may be wrong).
It's good to see that some fine people are working on an open implementation of the contact tracing API for Android. I hope that this will make it possible to use the Corona contact tracing app usable without the need fro having Google Play Services. My smartphone is Google free (as much as possible) with LineageOS and MicroG and a really do not want to use Play Services to be able to also participate in the contact tracing with the app.

While I guess it's ok to do something against racism, I'm not looking forward to fix all the various technical issues that these mass renaming will bring. It will take a long time to get rid of some names. But let's do it.

elotl/kip: Virtual-kubelet provider running pods in cloud instances #kubernetes, #kubelet, #vm
Kip is a Virtual Kubelet provider that allows a Kubernetes cluster to transparently launch pods onto their own cloud instances. The kip pod is run on a cluster and will create a virtual Kubernetes node in the cluster. When a pod is scheduled onto the Virtual Kubelet, Kip starts a right-sized cloud instance for the pod’s workload and dispatches the pod onto the instance. When the pod is finished running, the cloud instance is terminated. We call these cloud instances “cells”.
