  • TSC meeting around the holidays: There was a consensus to cancel the TSC meeting on December 26th and resume on January 2nd.  (The release meeting will follow the same pattern) . For the TSC meeting on January 2nd, no agenda topics will require a vote as people may still be on holidays and we may have challenges getting a quorum.  

  • IPv6 graduation review: Bin summarized accomplishments of the IPv6 team since project creation including participation in 4 consecutive releases with contributions coming from 40+ individuals representing 20+ organizations.  There were also numerous contributions to upstream projects such as ODL and OpenStack.  Future plans for IPv6 include more installer support, container networking, and more upstream maintenance in ODL (e.g. external routing, infra support, BGPVPN, cluster support, etc.) . In response to a question on XCI, Bin noted that the plan is to join the XCI effort after the Fraser release.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved the graduation review for the IPv6 project.  

  • ONS update: Ray noted that plan is to have 1 1/2 days long developer focused event ("LFN Developer Forum") to start the ONS week.  There will be more announcements on tracks and planning process in January.  

  • Release update: David McBride recapped Euphrates 5.1 release and Fraser MS3.0 compliance for all installers on December 15th.  The next major milestone for Fraser is MS4 (test framework ready) on January 12th.

  • LF IT/Infra update: Trevor Bramwell noted that there are reports of Jenkins slaves not being able to connect and this may require a reboot. For the Jenkins upgrade, still looking for community pods for testing.  There was also spam on #opnfv-meeting channel over the weekend and investigating ways to respond to spams more quickly

  • OPNFV User Support: Tim Irnich summarized user support discussion at the Plugfest.  For Stack Overflow, there was a discussion on where OPNFV-related questions will initially fit in before OPNFV gets "established" in Stack Overflow.  Dave Neary encouraged community members to start using Stack Overflow soon to quickly establish ourselves.  Ray/Trevor Bramwell took an action item to learn from ODL's recent migration from AskBot to Stack Overflow.

Agenda

Minutes: 

  • Previous minutes approved

  • New OPNFV governance documents: Scott Nicholas gave an overview of the new Charter document and noted that new governance documents are based on existing OPNFV governance documents such as Bylaws, IP Policy, certificate of incorporation, etc.  Under the LFN, the TSC will be responsible for the governance (e.g. license exceptions, amending the Charter, etc.).  A Series Manager is responsible for business operations (e.g. getting a new domain name, signing documents, etc.).  Discussion ensued on the rest of the document, and the TSC agreed to the new Technical Charter and Technical Procedures documents to be effective as of January 1st, 2018.

  • Release update: David McBride noted that Fraser MS 3 (integration with OpenStack-Pike) plus Euphrates 5.1 release is this Friday.  Fraser MS 3.1 (no-sdn and no-feature scenarios pass health check) is January 15th.  David is also looking for additional volunteers for milestone exception reviews.  For Euphrates 5.1, David will be sending out an email to the TSC for a vote.  

  • LF IT/Infra update: Trevor Bramwell mentioned that he will be sending out an announcement for system reboot next week. 

  • Octopus Termination review: Uli noted that Octopus activities are now part of Pharos or Releng and there are no active contributors to the project.  Scenario Descriptor File (SDF) work is now in the Pharos repo.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved termination of the Octopus project.

  • Committer list per releng repositories: Fatih noted that there are 5 repo's under releng (for tooling, security, test-results,  etc.) and OpenStack Infra has a similar setup with separate committers for each sub-repo's.  Current releng committers also voted on the proposal.  Fatih added that committers for each repo's will be nominated based on past contributions and there will be separate INFO files for each sub-repo's.  The TSC agreed that the releng team can have committers for each repo's.

    • Proposed vote text: "Does the TSC agree that the CVP beta testing has been successfully completed and all technical tasks are complete prior to going to the OPNFV Board for the Board approval of the program launch? (+1, 0, -1)"

Minutes:

  • Previous minutes approved.

  • LF Networking update: Heather reviewed the new legal structure under LF Networking (LFN) that was shared during webinars last week.  The Technical Charter document will replace the current OPNFV Bylaws and the proposal is to keep the current TSC as is for about a year while the community figures out the merit-based composition. Tim Irnich noted that there's no need to wait 12 months to figure out the new TSC composition and this could be done sooner.  The TSC Procedures document replaces the current TSC Charter.  Under LFN, both documents can be changed and approved by the TSC (following legal review).  Heather added that both documents need to be in place before the end of 2017 and focus on the review should be if they reflect OPNFV today.

  • Release update: David McBride noted that MS1 was November 3rd and DPACC is one project that is not compliant and thus removed from the Fraser release.  MS2 (test case documentation) is this Friday (17th) and MS 3.1 (OpenStack integration for installers) is December 15th.  Reminder on Euphrates 2.0 release on December 15th and unfortunately many scenarios (19) are failing to deploy.  

  • LF IT/Infra update: Trevor Bramwell discussed the Jenkins upgrade plan and Zuul trial.  The Confluence upgrade won't happen until the Jenkins upgrade is completed.  

  • CVP update: Wenjing recapped the beta progress over the past ~6 weeks and noted that two revisions were made to the Dovetail tool during the beta.  Both commercial products and OPNFV artifacts were tested during the beta and Wenjing added that beta participants can resubmit their test results after the program launch if there are no changes to test cases.  Beta testing can continue for participants who have not completed their testing and the Dovetail team is available to help.  Wenjing also discussed future plans including security, resiliency, expansion of functional capabilities, etc. in coordination with the Test WG.  Via IRC vote, the TSC agreed that the CVP beta testing has been successfully completed and all technical tasks are complete prior to Board approval.

November 7, 2017 

Agenda

Minutes:

  • Previous minutes approved

  • LF Networking Webinar: Heather reminded community members to attend the webinar following the TSC call (or listen to the recordings if people are not able to attend).  There was a discussion on what the community should look out for in the webinar including relationship between TSC & TAC, funding, charter updates, etc.  There will be follow-up discussions on this topic and Tim Irnich took the action item for come with a proposal to structure the discussion.  

  • Release updates:

    • David McBride mentioned that 38 projects have declared intent to participate in Fraser for MS1.  However, a few projects are missing release plans as highlighted in https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Milestone+Compliance+for+Fraser.  MS2 (test plans) for Fraser is on November 17th.  Tim Irnich asked if it would be possible to get an early view of what's new in Fraser and some of the suggestion were ONAP integration, OPNFV's role in VNF certification, etc.  Tim & David took an action item to scrub release plan pages to get a view on noteworthy items for the Fraser release.

  • LF IT/Infra update: Aricg discussed renaming repo's of terminated project so that it clear that projects are no longer active (repo's of terminated projects are read-only). There were some concerns that active project maybe referencing terminated projects and renaming the repo's could break things.  There was a consensus to simply add notations in INFO files for terminated projects.  There are no scheduled IT maintenance/downtime.

  • Clover creation review:  Wenjing noted that the goal of the project is to support VNFs developed as cloud native apps and focus will be on micro-services (unlike other existing OPNFV projects like Container4NFV that focus on containers or k8s).   Clover will also look at Continuous Delivery so that components can be updated live independently.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved creation of the Clover project.

  • Networking projects harmonization: Heather discussed that there will be a webinar to provide updates on projects harmonization for the technical community and email will be coming from Phil Robb.  Webinars are planned for November 6th at 6pm Pacific Time and November 7th at 7am Pacific Time.  Release meeting on the 7th will be cancelled to accommodate the webinar.  Goal is for minimal disruptions for the technical communities, and there will be further discussions after webinars.  

  • TSC composition: There are multiple wiki pages on this topic and Ray took an action item to consolidate them into a single page.  Frank also solicited volunteers to participate in further discussions on this topic and Ray will be reaching out to the volunteers.

  • OPNFV Community Code of Conduct: Heather reminded everyone that there is a community code of conduct in OPNFV to ensure that everyone treat each other with respect.  There is also an email alias (conduct@opnfv.org) if there is a need to report any incidents.  Heather noted that there will be a regular reminder on the Code of Conduct going forward.  

  • Escalator termination review: Kong Wei noted that he needs to stand down as a PTL and no one has stepped forward to take over the PTL role.  In addition, there is now less of a need to have a standalone project to handle upgrades.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved the termination of the Escalator project.

  • OPNFV user support: Ray discussed channels available for user support such as opnfv-users mailing list/ask.opnfv.org and challenges with these channels.  Tim Irnich asked if issues are with tools or if we should also look at things like docs, wiki, software downloads page, and others.  There was a good discussion on having focused activities on this topic with community volunteers and Ray took an action item to continue the discussion on mailing lists.  The goal of the activity is to help make OPNFV easier to consume and if a user has questions make it obvious where s/he can go ask and/or look for answers.  Another suggestion was made to add this as a future topic in the EUAG meeting.

  • LF IT/infra update: Trevor Bramwell mentioned that the scheduled maintenance on Sunday went smoothly and there are no other maintenance planned this week.  

  • CD/XCI discussion: Fatih provided an update on CD-oriented release process, CI Evolution, Dynamic CI, etc. and proposal for a "stable track" plus a "latest track".   Brian Skerry asked if it'd possible for different projects using components like ODL to use different versions of ODL under the proposal and Fatih confirmed that would be the case.  The "latest track" is going to be an option to support the developer community and projects like FDS are already taking the "latest track" approach.  Dave Neary asked if there are concerns with resource scalability and Fatih noted that there will be an initial burden on the XCI/relelng team but overtime work should be picked up by individual projects.  A question was raised how this will work with the current release milestone/model, and Fatih replied that some of these questions will be answered after this is tried out.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved the latest track to enable introduction of CD/XCI into OPNFV.  

  • Plugfest update: Ray provided an update on Plugfest planning and encouraged community members to register and suggest topics for the event.  As in previous Plugfests, there will be hackfest activities during the event.
