No updates.

Release Updates

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.

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

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."

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.

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.


5 min
  • Review of CLA legal text
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.
