Purpose of this page is to document OPNFV community interaction with the LFN Strategic Planning Committee (SPC). The charter of the SPC as well as other details about membership and working materials can be found here: LFN SPC Wiki

SPC Questionnaire to LFN Projects.

Clarification on the meaning of "project" in this questionnaire: Per its charter the SPC has an advisory role towards the Governing Board (GB). It prepares LFN strategy proposals to guide the LFN portfolio including its budget priorities for GB discussion and approval. It also provide guidance to the LFN projects according to the strategy set by the GB. For purposes of this questionnaire, "project" refers to an LFN portfolio project ... i.e. OPNFV. The TSC should assimilate and roll up feedback from OPNFV (sub)projects and individuals and provide this consolidated view to the SPC.

Process for collecting input: This questionnaire was discussed in the TSC meeting and sent out to the OPNFV  community on 16 July 2019. Link to email thread can be found here: <opnfv-tech-discuss@lists.opnfv.org>. 

  • Currently no deadline has been set by the SPC for providing feedback however a timely response will be appreciated to help prepare for SPC / OPNFV discussions (not yet scheduled)
  • Choices for providing input:
    • Respond to the tech-discuss mailing list 
    • Attend the weekly technical forum - this will be an agenda topic over the next few weeks
    • Provide feedback directly (email or schedule a call) with OPNFV SPC rep. Trevor Cooper
    • Provide feedback directly with a TSC rep. who has agreed to represent your input to the TSC
    • Attend future TSC meeting where this will be discussed (not currently scheduled)


Questions: 

Bullet points on SPC mission and objective to understand the questions, clarify to the community

Q1 confusing

Multiple choice to give guaidance / direction on what answers are expected or give examples ? SPC does not want to be prescriptive. Need a starting point with some suggestions. LAst choice always open.


1. How would you like the SPC to interact with your project?

  • How would you like to communicate with the SPC (give some choices ... method and frequency)


  • Through rep (Trevor Cooper) give periodic updates in the TSC
  • If rep thinks its important should invite e.g. SPC chair or other appropriate person to attend a TSC meeting to dive deeper
  • From TSC to SPC - email or approach OPNFV rep or if needed have TSC chair and/or other TSC members attend SPC meeting
  • How to report progress? OPNFV should provide metrics or indicators towards objectives. Report back mechanisms need to be mutually agreed. 


2. What are the three top areas where you feel your project should focus and invest? (Examples:  Growing the community, infrastructure improvements, gaining adoption)

  1. CNTT (reference implementations and compliance frameworks, etc.)


  1. Growing awareness and feedback from carriers that OPNFV is delivering what they need
  2. Collaboration with vendors and OPNFV stakeholders to ensure we are focused on areas of importance to them
  3. Adoption of OPNFV deliverables (infrastructure, testing, etc.) ... commercial and other communities


3. Growing the community (investment by member companies)


3. What community asks have not been completed in a reasonable and timely manner?

  • PM (now solved)
  • Asked for organizing a developer event an Kubecon
  • ???

4. Strategic relationships and interaction with other Projects (inside and outside LFN)

  • Which projects are up and/or downstream for your project?
    • OpenStack
    • ODL
    • TF
    • Kubernetes
    • etc.
    • ?
  • What collaboration / interaction with other projects is working well?
    • OpenStack
    • Openstack Edge Compute Group
    • Airship (re. CNTT)
    • ODL
    • OSM collaboration with SFC (currently not active)
    • ?
  • What collaboration / interaction (existing or desired) with other projects is not working well or is a gap?
    • Akraino
    • ?
  • What collaboration / interaction would your project benefit from that is not already happening?
    • CNTT (wip)
    • Akraino
    • ONAP
    • TF - OPNFV VSPERF (switch performance)
    • ?
  • How do you suggest improving collaboration / interaction with other projects?
    • It must be natural and mutually beneficial to be effective
    • Education as to benefits 
    • Cross-TSC presentations
    • ?
  • How/What should we drive for collaboration with projects outside LFN that would be beneficial?
    • OSS (examples:  CNCF, LF Edge, Hyperledger, Openstack, ONF, etc.)
      • CNCF, OpenStack, LFEdge (Akraino, ...)
      • ?
    • SDO (examples: O-RAN, ETSI NFV, GSMA, 3GPP, ETSI ZSM, etc.)
      • GSMA
      • ETSI-OSM
      • ?
    • Other? 

5. Would a more integrated solution approach increase or accelerate a more effective adoption of LFN technologies?

  • question needs clarification
  • Integration is good
  • OPNFV is an integration project and uniquely positioned for LFN projects to be integrated and tested together
  • OPNFV could be the "shop window" for LFN


6. The LFN TAC made recommendations on increased efficiencies for LFN project infrastructure. (Link:  Infrastructure Working Group Summary Report)  Are there other areas of project operations that you would like to see the TAC look into?

  • Release planning
  • Tracking milestones and general visibility of projects
  • ?

7. Is commercial compliance (OVP) relevant to your project? y/n 

  • If yes then how does your project plan on contributing?
  • Yes, we developed OVP and are contributing to LFN level compliance

8. Do you have an activity lifecycle framework within your project? y/n

  • If yes, do you feel it is benefiting the project?
    • Yes. 
    • incubation to graduation
      • no benefit at project level
    • Terminate 
      • sense of accomplishment to achieve mandate 
      • communicating progress to broader community
  • If  no, do you feel that formalizing one is necessary?
  • Overall lifecycle of project e.g. OPNFV? Mission statement and mandate to know if project has reached (or not) end goal


9. Does your project need help to focus on highest priorities?

  • Reannounce our relavance to broader community
  • and relavnce to member companies to invest (campaign to reinvigorate through marketing and direct relationships with stakeholders and member companies)
