Since there is no contractual or legal requirements to sign, Thoth will be the entity that is representing the project from Anuket.  Registration opening in April, but need abstract or description in March.  The registration will be closed in May.   The competition will run from May to September.  The data should be available by April or May.  Details can be found here: https://wiki.lfaidata.foundation/display/ADLIK/2020+DNN+Inference+Optimization+Challenge

Release Updates

Moselle 

M1 - Release Definition Feb 1, 2022 

@David McBride



Requirements were sent out to the list.  Link is in the agenda.

The final release data is currently June 14, 2022, which conflicts with developers conference.  Will probably move either one week earlier or later.  TSC can decide later which one makes more sense.

@David McBrideis encouraging all the project teams to complete the project planning information and requirements. You have a week to complete.  Should be fairly easy and straight forward.

Doc Conversion

@Gergely Csatari

CCC updates
Docs Project: revamp and develop a consistent place and process to manage documentation.

@Scot Steele

@Beth Cohen

No updates for Docs project.  Need to schedule a regular meeting to address the issue. 



2 min

Proposal to add the word "workload" to the Anuket mission statement, to read: "Empower the global communications community, by creating and developing reference cloud infrastructure models, architectures, conformance programs and tools, to deliver network services and other workloads faster, more reliably, and securely."

@Lincoln Lavoie

Will need a vote of the TSC – Changes passed.

Question about the definition of Workloads – Does NFV equal workloads?  

More minor edits to statement to clarify meaning.  



5 min

Proposed change to PR merger processes  in GitHub
  • Until recently, we had a designated TSC Lead as the master Administrator, in GitHub, that merged any PRs authored by WSLs. This was a decision made at the time CNTT was started.

  • A recent PR made a change that would allow WSLs to merge their own changes. I think this is a TSC decision to make.

@Pankaj.Goyal

Will need a vote of the TSC

Discussion about the various roles.  Is the TSC leads the right people to be the master admins?  Way too much overhead and more burden.  

@Cédric Ollivier If we follow the opensource rules, the most important contributors should be as code owners.

@Al Morton I agree with Karine that more than one person should have merger rights. Also, 3 positive reviews should lead to a merger, as the rules seem to state...

To be continued to next week.

Review of CLA legal text

@Gergely Csatari

Item moved to next week.



15 min

GitLab update 

EasyCLA support - Issue appears to be resolved.
Pranab - ready to start on-boarding,
There are still some challenges to moving forward with the conversion to the new tools.  There are some objects to moving.  The decision has been postponed to be revisited in the new year by the new TSC.  Needs more discussion and consideration on how to move forward.
