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>.
