Highlight first party ownership in the ecosystem registry about opentelemetry.io HOT 4 OPEN

Hey @haidong

commented on your PR but adding the same here: what I was hoping for is a review of instrumentations (native and library) and apps and to verify if their instrumentation is first party means that it was created by the same org that provides the app or lib. Collector components are not part of that. Also components provided by the Otel community are not first party.

Apologies once again and thank you for your eagerness to help.

We have functionality it's just not enabled for all those upstream instrumentations, we can distinguish in the registry between "first party integrations" and "native":

first party example: https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/?s=kafkaflow
native example: https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/?s=next.js

We also have the integrations page to feature those:

https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/integrations/

A piece missing is that this list of integrations shares the data from the registry, right now those are 2 independent data sets. We also leverage that second list to promote native (and only native) integrations on their language pages around libraries, e.g. https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/js/libraries/#use-natively-instrumented-libraries

All of this also has a dependency with this terminology discussion (and everytime I tried to improve the situation I struggeld with finding the right words): open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#4089

So what can you do to help with that:

• Tag registry entries which are missing the native/first party flag
• Help to merge the data sources for integrations & the same data set in the registry
• Help to find better terminology by participating in the discussion mentioned above

Tag registry entries which are missing the native/first party flag

I'm working on this.

As of this writing, there are 761 files that miss the flag:

 data/registry   main ±  find . -type f | xargs grep -L -e "isNative" -e "isFirstParty" | wc -l                                                                                     
     761

Changing 761 files in one PR will be too much. I'll breakdown the 761 files into separate batches using alphabetical order, one PR per batch.

@haidong thanks so much for pitching in on this!
