Dear P4 Members,


As you know, P4 has achieved broad adoption in the networking industry 
with multiple P4 targets and a rich set of open source P4 programs, 
compilers, APIs, tools and test frameworks. P4 continues to grow from 
strength to strength, with technical contributions from a large number 
of companies, universities and individuals. With about 100 member 
organizations, many of whom are making active contributions, P4 has 
reached a point where to grow even more we need the help of a larger 
organization.

On Friday, we announced <https://p4.org/p4/p4-joins-onf-and-lf.html>that 
P4 will become a project under the ONF/Linux Foundation umbrellas. What 
this means is that P4 will continue to be self-contained and 
self-managed project (with the same GitHub repositories and permissive 
open-source license), but it will enjoy many of the benefits of the 
large membership and extensive staff at both organizations. Basically, 
it will help P4 grow and scale more efficiently.

To be clear, there will be no change to the day-to-day activities of 
P4.org and P4 community in terms of Working Groups and technical 
contributors. And importantly, membership for P4.org will remain free. 
We are excited to be working together with ONF and LF to build on the 
synergies brought forth by this collaboration.

I'd like to thank all of the developers who have brought us this far and 
the chairs of our working groups who have provided leadership for the 
community. I'm looking forward to accelerated innovation in networking 
enabled by P4 and our strong and committed developer community.

*

Sincerely,
-N
