Proposed Agenda

• Agentic Patterns
• Update from Core

Notes Hand Written

Patterns (JohnP)

Customers are at orchestrator pattern.  Create a list of patterns and sack rank. Work through how to implement these patterns. 

Note: Add link to patterns list in
At some point we will generate the patterns in the group

Core Update (Laszlo)

Update on the blog : https://blogs.agntcy.org/technical/2026/04/21/mvp-ai-agents-multicluster.html
Split up the Projects into three sections.

Summary

No Quorum updates only.

App-SDK : The orchestrator agent pattern is prioritized as the primary focus, with plans to rank other patterns to guide work effectively. John Parello emphasizes automating pattern generation through skill files to improve efficiency and scalability.

CORE: reports significant progress, including publishing a new block and leveraging SLIM to simplify agent use cases connecting to customer clusters, addressing security and cloud integration challenges. Collaboration with external teams continues, with efforts to familiarize them with specifications and plans to discuss virtual network security enhancements.

The team also plans SDK analytics with Scarf testing but requires support from the Linux Foundation, leading to an action item for Natalie to obtain the necessary account. Overall, the meeting advances coordination on pattern prioritization, documentation, and infrastructure setup to support ongoing development and integration activities.

Detailed Summary

Agenda and Pattern Prioritization

John Parello outlines the meeting agenda focusing on reviewing agenda patterns, receiving updates from the core group, and working on the directory and test bed. The orchestrator agent pattern is identified as the most popular, with plans to stack rank other patterns to clarify work focus within the application view. This prioritization aims to streamline development efforts and ensure alignment across teams.

The orchestrator agent is the number one pattern to focus on.

• The need to stack rank patterns for clarity on work priorities.
• Highlighted the importance of integrating these patterns into the application view.
• Integration with other groups and Future Pattern Development

Discussion centers on how the current pattern work fits with of LF initiatives. The team acknowledges the need to prioritize existing, widely used patterns like the orchestrator while also anticipating future technical challenges by developing more complex deployment templates. This proactive approach aims to identify gaps early and avoid real-time issues during implementation.

John Cardente emphasized creating catalogs of patterns and deployment templates to increase complexity gradually.

Core Group Update and Use Case Implementation

An update from the core group highlights recent progress, including the publication of a new block and the use of SLIM to simplify agent use cases connecting to customer clusters. The work addresses security and cloud integration challenges, reflecting significant architectural efforts over the past two weeks.

A core group member reports publishing a new block this week.
The use case involves utilizing SLIM to connect agent use cases to customer clusters securely.
Significant architectural work has been completed recently to support these developments.

SDK Testing and Linux Foundation Support

The team plans to have engineers use Scarf but requires clarification on support from the Linux Foundation, specifically regarding account setup. An action item is assigned to Natalie to facilitate obtaining the necessary Linux Foundation account to enable testing and development activities.
