Google Summer of Code 2026: packaging the Kubeflow community distribution as Helm charts, so the platform can be installed and upgraded per component instead of through a single Kustomize overlay. Added as a Kubeflow organization member in organization membership #904.

Restricted Pod Security Standards
Bringing components into compliance with the restricted Pod Security Standard, across repositories: Notebooks sample context #1229, continuous integration user namespace #3487, Trainer runtime security contexts #3702, Katib suggestion contexts #2683, KServe storage initializer context #5855.
Linux Foundation Mentorship 2025: Elasticsearch and OpenSearch storage authentication, plus the OpenTelemetry demonstration deployment.
Storage authentication
- Elasticsearch API Key Authentication #7402
- Basic Authentication moved to the HTTP transport layer #7388
- bearer token reloading across storage backends #7360
GetHTTPRoundTripperrefactor #7313- OpenTelemetry optional type for the Authentication union struct #7316
- CodeQL alert: sensitive file paths removed from log messages #7345
- Elasticsearch authentication table documentation #961
Repository restructuring
Moved packages out of the public pkg/ tree into internal/, and redefined the thrift-gen
types as aliases to jaeger-idl so the interface definitions live in one place.
thrift-gentypes redefined asjaeger-idlaliases #6619- all
thrift-genimports repointed tojaeger-idl#6621 pkg/esmoved tointernal/storage/elasticsearch#6937pkg/kafkamoved tointernal/kafka#6908pkg/metricsmoved tointernal/metrics#6901model/protomoved tointernal/proto#6918- build scripts moved under
scripts/build#6446 - linting checks reproduced in
jaeger-idl#121
OpenTelemetry demonstration and OpenSearch
- deployment, cleanup, and port-forward scripts for Jaeger with OpenSearch #7516
- global image registry for the demonstration #7620
- OKE demonstration Prometheus upgrade #8183
- OpenSearch support in
spark-dependencies#185 - JDK 21 upgrade in
spark-dependencies#183 - Jaeger v2 upgrade in the Helm charts #671
- alerting rules for Jaeger 2.x #6854
- demonstration links in the documentation #991
