10 min	Anuket Recruiting	Bob Monkman (Deactivated)	Brandon Wick presented: Anuket marketing team trying to raise interest among operators not currently engaged; 6 operators on shortlist, under due diligence; emails expected to be sent this week; kick-off meetings to follow A good reference is the 19March2021 Marketing Meeting Minutes wiki page, which also has a link to the Anuket Ambassadors wiki page: Meeting 031921 Cedric Ollivier raised a question regarding engaging LFN Board for recruitment, left for Heather Kirksey to respond
10 min	Update on Weekly Technical Discussion of the Charter	Gergely Csatari	Covered mostly Gergely Csatari comments - actions recorded.
10 min	Workstream Leads/ Project PTLs standup Pod resources, refreshes, Redfish(es), other HW topics. RA2 - Cluster LCM ongoing discussion WSL/PTL updates	Al Morton Walter.kozlowski WSLs / PTLs	Trevor Cooperwould like a better picture of what OTHER resources there are, w.r.t. UNH resources and LF resources. No one wants to give up resources... Also, What resources do we really need? all resources were identical when the pod definition was created, but what do we need now? Really need a group to look at these questions - more than the process to request hardware - need a better process to allocate resources. Cédric Ollivier could use resources if available. Also, the budget that was spent in 2020. went to UNH lab. Sridhar Rao will help, with assessment of intel pods. Cédric Ollivier is CNTT RC-1 Field Trial OVER??? Need to communicate about this, because it will free-up resources if it is over. Mirantis and Orange participated. Riccardo Gasparetto RA-2: whether to include K8s Clusters or not? discussion on-going here Walter.kozlowski RM workstream working closely with RA 1 and 2, will be ready for May milestones. Pankaj.Goyal RA1 Target is OS TRAIN (RA can be ahead of RI versions AIRSHIP Installer == Stein) Emma Foley Zoom crashed, I would appreciate a TL;DR of the answer to "How do we deal with supporting older versions of OpenStack when we need to test new features?" Cédric Ollivier Decouple RI testing (for VNF) but RC testing, leverage testing on ANY system that is needed. Functest does this now. Main challenge is how to deal with all these different releases in Anuket, starting with OS and K8s. May need 3 or 4 OS releases covered in a single A-release. Question about current community interest, limited to Train at present, but there is a spectrum of releases covered by parts of the community (Functest covers 6 OS releases, benchmarking tools can cover many releases because their API does not change much).
5 min	Status Updates Linux Foundation Lab (Portland) hardware upgrade status LF IT/Infra update: (Aric Gardner, Trevor Bramwell)	Trevor Bramwell @ Aric Gardner	Trevor Bramwell no planned infra changes - reached out to OSU partner for transfer, hoping to schedule for end of April.

For all PTLs - identify the Lab resources you are currently using! by 02 Mar 2021
Anuket Recruiting: Bob Monkman heads up the Anuket marketing group. We could invite him for a readout in 2-3 weeks from 23 Feb 2021 . Bob Monkman (Deactivated) Brandon Wickgave the readout.
Need to do a poll, following a survey for M-release names. Could choose ALL the names, if that's simpler!

LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR)

Role:

The role of the LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR) is to represent the committers and contributors to LFN projects at the LFN Governing board. The expectation of the LGBMCR is to attend all LFN Governing board meetings (and any appropriate ancillary meetings), gather input from the committer community for issues raised at the board level, and to communicate to the committer community key activities from board.
LGBMCR is elected for the 1 year. Re-election is not possible.

Eligible candidates:

Candidates must be active committers to at least one LFN project.
Candidates can self-nominate, or be nominated by other community members. In the latter case, candidates must accept the nomination before the election is conducted.
Candidates must be an active committer to a LFN project which differs from the LFN project that the currently servicing LGBMCR is an active committer of.
