Author : Natali Vlatko, SIG Docs Co-Chair for Kubernetes Katacoda , the popular learning platform from O’Reilly that has been helping people learn all about Java, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, Go, C++, and more, shut down for public use in June 2022 . However, tutorials specifically for Kubernetes, linked from the Kubernetes website for our project’s users and contributors, remained available and active after this change. Unfortunately, this will no longer be the case, and Katacoda tutorials for learning Kubernetes will cease working after March 31st, 2023. The Kubernetes Project wishes to thank O'Reilly Media for the many years it has supported the community via the Katacoda learning platform. You can read more about the decision to shutter katacoda.com on O'Reilly's own site. With this change, we’ll be focusing on the work needed to remove links to their various tutorials. We have a general issue tracking this topic at #33936 and GitHub discussion . We’re also interested in researching what other learning platforms could be beneficial for the Kubernetes community, replacing Katacoda with a link to a platform or service that has a similar user experience. However, this research will take time, so we’re actively looking for volunteers to help with this work. If a replacement is found, it will need to be supported by Kubernetes leadership, specifically, SIG Contributor Experience, SIG Docs, and the Kubernetes Steering Committee. The Katacoda shutdown affects 25 tutorial pages, their localizations, as well as the Katacoda Scenario repository: github.com/katacoda-scenarios/kubernetes-bootcamp-scenarios . We recommend that any links, guides, or documentation you have that points to the Katacoda learning platform be updated immediately to reflect this change. While we have yet to find a replacement learning solution, the Kubernetes website contains a lot of helpful documentation to support your continued learning and growth. You can find all of our available documentation tutorials for Kubernetes at https://k8s.io/docs/tutorials/ . If you have any questions regarding the Katacoda shutdown, or subsequent link removal from Kubernetes tutorial pages, please feel free to comment on the general issue tracking the shutdown , or visit the #sig-docs channel on the Kubernetes Slack.

I have some unfortunate news to share and there’s no easy way to say it, so here it is. We will not be able to fulfill any remaining Mark II rewards. Since starting here in early 2020 I’ve had to make some of the toughest decisions I’ve ever faced, and none more so than at the end of last year. At the end of November, just after the Mark II entered production, I was faced with the reality that I had to lay off most of the Mycroft staff. At present, our staff is two developers, one customer service agent and one attorney. Moreover, without immediate new investment, we will have to cease development by the end of the month. I first got involved with Mycroft by backing this campaign myself back in 2018. It wasn’t until 2020 that I came on board as an investor and then the CEO. Since then I have poured a lot of my own savings, and additional funding from my foundation into Mycroft because I sincerely believe in its mission. Over that time we’ve always been looking at how we can turn Mycroft into a self-sustaining company, and to honor promises the company has made. When this crowdfunding campaign launched in 2018, the reward tier values were based on hardware that was to be provided by a hardware-focused partner, thereby allowing Mycroft to focus on the software. The details of that have been covered previously, but in short - they were unable to make that hardware stable. The Mycroft executive at the time made the necessary decision to cut those losses and try to recover as much money as possible by reselling the components that had already been purchased. After searching in vain for a new hardware partner that could provide a similar product at a reasonable price point, it became clear that this didn’t exist. There were wildly expensive options, there were wildly underwhelming options, and there were new startups that could not prove their hardware worked. So the team started building a new Mark II using off-the-shelf components. This version of the Mark II proved that what we were doing was possible, however using a range of off the shelf components and manually wiring them together is time consuming, expensive, and fragile. Thankfully this was around the time when I came on board, and hardware is something that I’m very familiar with. So we took what was working and integrated everything onto a single custom board known as the SJ201. Finally we had robust hardware that was ready for mass production. Which brings me back to the reward tier values. When we first spec’d out this revised Mark II design, the cost of the components alone was about $99. But as the supply chain disruption unfolded our costs rose about 50%, and by the time we added import and manufacturing fees our out-the-door cost rose to about $300, not including amortization of the $100,000 cost of injection molds. But we still wanted to honor those pledges. The best plan we could devise to fulfill the remaining campaign rewards was to use the slim margins we have on new sales to cover the increased costs of hardware production. With that plan in mind, we pushed forward and started production. We got plastic injection molds cast. We started printing custom PCBs. We engaged audio engineers to optimize the quality and volume of the sound output. We got the device FCC and CE approved. Many of these steps took multiple iterations to get right, and there are many more things that I’m glossing over. All up this costs - a lot of money. Far more than the total contributions from the campaign, which is why I personally committed so much additional funding. I could see a clear way forward that strengthened Mycroft as a project, as a business, and as a community. So what went wrong? The single most expensive item that I could not predict was our ongoing litigation against the non-practicing patent entity that has never stopped trying to destroy us. If we had that million dollars we would be in a very different state right now. With so much of our focus on hardware, and less funding to devote to improving our software - the quality and features available on the Mark II at launch were clearly underwhelming. It is more robust and stable than it has ever been, but this came at the cost of fewer new features. That in turn I believe has resulted in less than flattering reviews, and little mainstream coverage. The hardware itself has proven itself to be a solid base to work from, but without good reviews you get less sales, and without strong sales, the plan doesn’t work. Which brings us to the present day. We will still be shipping all orders that are made through the Mycroft website, because these sales directly cover the costs of producing and shipping the products. However we do not have the funds to continue fulfilling rewards from this crowdfunding campaign, or to even continue meaningful operations. - Michael Lewis
