RDK offers a series of Working Groups, each of which is targeted at a specific feature, component, or offering in the code. RDK members are encouraged to request to participate in a group that aligns with their interests or expertise. Groups are formed and managed with a specific set of goals and expectations, and will be retired once the goals have been met. Working group members are selectively accepted and expected to be active participants in collaborative meetings and to make design or code contributions toward achieving stated goals.
To inquire about participation in a specific group, contact workinggroups@RDKcentral.com.
USP
The USP Working Group collaborates on a standardized protocol for centrally managing, monitoring, upgrading and controlling connected RDK devices. The goal is to establish and ratify a standard, architect provisions for future extensions, and agree upon implementation. Discussion includes a data model, architecture, and communications protocol.
WAN Manager
The WAN Manager Working Group collaborates on architecture and development of different WAN interfaces on RDK-B devices. It focuses on common abstraction for supporting different SoCs, as well as features for different region deployments and access types.
Telemetry
The Telemetry Working Group was created to discuss various ways to improve data collection and optimize processing in the cloud, specific to the use-cases of this group.
Telco Voice
The Telco Voice Working Group focuses on enhancing the Telco Voice Manager component, originally contributed by Sky, to both generalize the architecture and allow for wider community adoption.
Test Automation
The Test Automation Working Group, aka Automatics, collaborates on enhancing the features of Automatics and test coverage while standardizing execution, reporting, and output.
Browser
The Browser Working Group will discuss and collaborate on RDK browser development, roadmap discussion, upstreaming patches, continuous integration, and testing. Specific topics include the use of a common set of tools, development, and release for RDK WPEWebkit browser features and versioning.
BB App Integration -
coming soon
The BB App Integration Working Group collaborates on architecture and development, focusing on common integration (API standardization, etc. for broadband apps of all types. Specific topics include HAL, API calls, end-user interaction, cloud component architecture, containerization, and security.
