Tungsten Fabric Health review Prabhjot Singh Sethi

• Tungsten Fabric Health Review - April 2020
• Q: Why are you using moving to Jenkins from Zuul instead of some other cloud-based service?
  • We can look into could-based options.  The effort to migrate to Jenkins has been ongoing for over a year before the LF started looking at other services.
• How do you avoid dominance by Juniper and adopt new projects?
  • We are working on a new release plan
  • We also have a method of any company to submit new projects or "Blueprints" as they are referred to in the TF community.
  • The community is also seeking a community release manager.  If there is anyone in the community that would like to take a leadership role and support TF with their development of a new release plan, please reach out to Prabhjot Singh Sethiand Casey Cain
•  related to the whitepaper - ONAP/TF integration comments - forward looking perspective rather than "as-is".  
  • CNCF TUG info: taylor@vulk.coop Taylor Carpenter distro list: telecom-user-group@lists.cncf.io
  • CNF Testbed-https://github.com/cncf/cnf-testbed
• Discussion of TAC Admission 
  • much of the same criteria as a health review, but additional process and content is necessary for an Admission review
  • LFN Project Data Template needs to be completed

LFN Project Pipeline

• djhunt made TAC aware of a number of incoming projects are expected to be coming in for lifecycle review - cannot comment on who/what until they actually apply
• Additional TAC meetings may be necessary
• VM (Vicky) Brasseur  recommends that PLD language be tightened to avoid misunderstandings
• LFN Project Lifecycle

Virtual Events

• Heather Kirksey talked about the April Virtual Technical Meetings.
  
  • Overall received great feedback
• Looking forward to the June Virtual Developer & Testing Forum.
  • There is a European holiday on June 1st.  Seeking guidance from the TAC if they believe we need to adjust the schedule.
  • We were avoiding Friday because APAC members will end up working until 2am Saturday morning.  There is also another Holiday.
  • If you are interested in participating in the Program Committee please sign up on the mailing list here https://lists.lfnetworking.org/g/lfn-vtec

  • We have options for the following dates

    • June 22-25
  • There seems to be a general consensus that we should move to the June 22-25th dates.
