Meet and Greet introductions



Project priorities to improve uptake of the projects

  • ODL - documentation improvements via cutting costs on infrastructure

    • Would like new use cases/scenarios to illustrate

  • ONAP

    • docs and product maturity

    • one-click install of ONAP

    • Stood up instance of ONAP for sandbox play

  • TF

    • Carbide is a one click install of TF

      • It is easy to spin up, but then what?

      • Recently made a "what's next" doc

      • One click works pretty well AND provides tracking of use (few hundred spin-ups per month)

  • Internationalization support 

    • Providing the Chinese (simplified) getting started guide.

    • Reference implementation (virtual sandbox) in AWS or similar environment to help organizations ramp up quickly. 

  • Concern around production implementations. How do you manage the complexity of the various components 

  • Have easy to use "first touch" documentation to onboard new developers quickly, to encourage new contributors. 

  • What do you have for new developers to get started, intro documentation across projects, "Here's all the LFN projects and how you get started".

    • Getting started, one click (if available), setup dev environment etc.. 

    • Look at ODL as initial example. 

    • Develop better use cases and user stories and tie those to features available. Collaboration between TAC and MAC would be required. 

  • Working on gathering community input for infrastructure working committee. Looking for volunteers to join the committee. 

  • TAC will continue to work on Infra-structure, life cycle, technical advisory office.

  • Jason will raise topics discussed above at board f2f and follow up with TAC. 

  • Integration and testing work is happening independent of LF infrastructure, is gating factor. Some teams are working in gitlab instead. 

  • Tooling changes to accommodate Python end of life from 2 to version 3 in 2020, caused a week long disruption to ONAP release, when it was made.. 

    • Does the TAC want to look across tickets to identify common issues across projects. 

  • Self service system was not tested enough, for instance munged jars being generated.
