Community Calls
Couchbase Host Plugin Demo, Repo Reorganization & wasmCloud v2 RC8
The March 11, 2026 wasmCloud Wednesday is hosted by Jeremy Fleitz for the first time (in the spirit of a rotating "host group" for the meeting). Jeremy demos a new Couchbase host plugin that ports the old wasmCloud Couchbase provider into the v2 host-plugin model, walks through the repo reorganization that moves wash into the main wasmCloud/wasmCloud monorepo with a release-1.9.x branch preserved, and Lucas Fontes shares the plan for v2 RC9 — the last RC, with Wasmtime 42, WASI P3 experimental support, and Pavel's fuel-tracking metrics. Eric introduces the new v2 templates and examples page as a single canonical source for component examples across languages.
Bytecode Alliance Summit Recap, Named Interfaces & wasmCloud v2 Plugin Simplification
The March 4, 2026 wasmCloud community call recaps the Bytecode Alliance Summit (Luke Wagner's road to component-model 1.0, Cy Brand on cooperative threads, Joel Dice on guest languages, Alex Crichton on landing proposals, Victor Adossi on JCO), introduces wasmCloud v2's named interfaces feature for using the same WIT interface multiple times under different names, explains why the wash CLI component-plugin system is being removed in favor of shell hooks, and walks through the repo migration from wasmcloud/wash into wasmcloud/wasmcloud with a separate wasmcloud-v1 repo for the v1 branch.
Lightweight wasmCloud Wednesday: Bytecode Alliance Plumbers Summit Co-Host
A deliberately brief February 25, 2026 wasmCloud Wednesday: Liam Randall and Jeremy Fleitz acknowledge that the Bytecode Alliance Plumbers Summit is happening live at the same time, point the community to Joel Dice's talk on core Wasm proposals and the rest of the Plumbers Summit thread, and tease new updates coming to CNCF wasmCloud next week. The call wraps in under 6 minutes so attendees can rejoin the Plumbers Summit live stream.
wasmCloud v2 Templates with TCP Sockets, Excalidraw Tooling & WASI P3 Update
The February 18, 2026 wasmCloud community call leans into v2 architecture and tooling. Lucas Fontes demos new wasmCloud v2 templates that center the full application (cargo workspaces, multiple components per project) and shows off TCP socket binding inside components with per-workload localhost isolation — two workloads can bind the same port without conflict. Eric opens a PR adding Excalidraw diagram tooling to the wasmcloud.com repo, including a Claude skill, custom PNG export, and brand-aligned diagram workflow. Bailey Hayes updates the community on WASI P3 progress (new release candidate, significant wasi-cli reshaping), the upcoming Bytecode Alliance Plumbers Summit, and the imminent reference-implementation completion. Aditya raises a great question about dynamic config updates mid-deployment, which leads to a NATS-backed plus virtualization design discussion.
WASI OTel Host Plugin Demo, TypeScript Templates & v2 Service Docs
The February 11, 2026 wasmCloud community call is anchored by Jeremy Fleitz's live demo of the WASI OTel host plugin — tracing, logging, and metrics emitted directly from inside a Wasm component into an Aspire collector, with the host adding workload-ID context so component-level spans line up cleanly with host-level spans. Eric walks through new TypeScript templates for HTTP clients and services with wasi-keyvalue and Blobstore backends, plus an expanded services documentation page and a fresh custom hosts / host plugins guide. Bailey updates the community on WASI 0.2.10 (hopefully the final 0.2.x release) and WASI P3 release-candidate progress, and Yordis Prieto confirms he's two code reviews away from landing map support in WIT and is heading for struct next.
