Additionally, it produces\nsupporting material and best practices for end-users and provides guidance and coordination for CNCF projects working within the TAG’s scope.\n\n### Whitepaper\n\nSee our [latest 1.0 observability whitepaper](https://github.com/cncf/tag-observability/blob/whitepaper-v1.0.0/whitepaper.md) to kickstart your observability journey or enhance what you know so far! 💪🏽\n\n[Contributions](./whitepaper.md) welcome to evolve it further.\n\n### Scope\n\nExcerpts from the [Observability Charter Document](observability-charter.md):\n\n* Foster, review, and grow the ecosystem of observability-related projects, users, and maintainers in open source, cloud-native technology.\n* Identify and report gaps in the CNCF's project portfolio on topics of observability to the TOC and the wider CNCF community.\n* Collect, curate, champion, and disseminate patterns and current best practices related to the observation of cloud-native systems that are effective and actionable.\n* Educate and inform users with unbiased, accurate, and pertinent information. Educate and help other CNCF projects regarding observability techniques and best current practices available within the CNCF.\n* Provide and maintain a vendor-neutral venue for relevant thought validation, discussion, and project feedback.\n* Provide a ladder for community members to become involved with the technical oversight of projects within the SIG's scope in an open, transparent, and inclusive way.\n\n## How we communicate\n\n* Chat: [CNCF Slack #tag-observability](https://slack.cncf.io)\n* TAG Meetings Schedule:\n   * US/EU friendly meetings @ 1600 UTC, 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month\n      * See [CNCF community calendar](https://www.cncf.io/community/calendar/) for invite links\n      * [Meeting Notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12mnMXQSrcS75eJS-5AGroX7xBpRPxhBlLzoYbXq49kk/edit)\n   * NEW!
