Any new Opensource projects in (go) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.
https://github.com/kumahq/kuma is an CNCF OSS service mesh for Kubernetes and VMs. We're a control plane on top of Envoy proxy. Very actively developed project, some big adopters in the community, and we've just refreshed all of our Good First Issues.

Gotta love Kuma, thank you kind stranger making it !
And not just "Kuma" : https://github.com/kumahq/kuma

Powering Kubernetes in the Cloud with Kuma Service Mesh
Another important change to make is that when you create the cluster, change the Nodes in the "Default pool" to use the COS (not COS_CONTAINERD) image type. There are some underlying issues when using Kuma with GKE, as noted in this GitHub issue, and this is the currently recommended workaround. Otherwise, you will hit pod initializing issues that affect certificate provisioning.

How I Stopped Coding Repetitive Service Components with Kong
Taking things to a broader level, Kuma is another platform agnostic-OSS solution for service mesh and microservice management – with control plane support of Kubernetes, virtual machines (VM), and even bare-metal environments. Kuma was donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) by Kong and still actively contributes to the evolving code base.

Service Mesh - Introduction
Kuma Kuma, from Kong, prides itself on being a usable service mesh alternative. Kuma is a platform-agnostic control plane built on Envoy. Kuma provides networking features to secure, observe, route, and enhance connectivity between services. Kuma supports Kubernetes in addition to virtual machines.

Service Mesh Considerations
If you'd like to go a bit deeper into service mesh technology, be sure to check out the resources listed below then head over to the Open Service Mesh with Azure Kubernetes Service lab to get hands-on and see a service mesh in action! Open Service Mesh is an open-source, lightweight service mesh that is easy to install and operate, so I encourage you to take it for a spin 🚀

osm-edge: Using access control policies to access services with the service mesh
osm-edge forked from Open Service Mesh is a lightweight, extensible, cloud-native, SMI-compatible service mesh built purposely for Edge computing. osm-edge uses lightweight programmable proxy Pipy as a sidecar proxy.

Benchmarking osm and osm-edge data planes
osm-edge is built on top of Open Service Mesh (OSM) v1.1.0 codebase and is a lightweight service mesh for resource-sensitive cloud environments and edge computing scenarios. It uses osm as the control plane and Pipy as the data plane and features high performance, low resources, simplicity, ease of use, scalability, and compatibility (x86/arm64 support).

Announcing osm-edge 1.1: ARM support and more
osm-edge is a fork of open service mesh and we will strive to keep this fork in sync with its upstream and propose back major changes and/or feature proposals to upstream for broader benefits of the community. Both OSM and osm-edge are hosted on Github. If you have any feature request, question, or comment, we’d love to have you join the rapidly-growing community via Github Issues, Pull Requests, or osm slack channel!
