Minutes

ONS ODL/ONAP @Abhijit K

• Joint meeting ODL/ONAP at ONS technical meetings

  • ODL to provide a minimum set of components from ODL to narrow the attack surface and CVE exposure

  • Will have monthly sync meetings between ODL/ONAP into the future starting week of Oct 14, 2019 

• What made it an effective discussion

  • Being f2f is powerful to help discussions/collaboration

  • ODL prefers to have DDF before the start of the next releases - so ONS aligns well with the ODL schedules

  • @Chaker Al-Hakim set aside time for cross-community discussions at joint events

Events and TAC/MAC role

• LFN sponsored events ONES - MAC lead the events

• DDF/Plugfest joint project events - community inputs on timing/location

• GB moving to LFN paid developer events instead of member volunteered sites

• TAC as a broker to help consolidate community desires for joint events

• fd.io's audience differs from large orchestration projects and thus it is not served by joint DDFs with such projects.  fd.io needs its own DDF, or a DDF in collaboration with other dataplane projects such as DPDK, OVS, etc.

• Propose projects get event budget to allocate as they wish

• AI: TAC would like a description of the event strategies for each project so that TAC might help broker dates/approach

• @Former user (Deleted)  Recommends that we augment ONS with the developer events.

GB review of the SPC contributions

• Board has asked SPC to balance internal focus and external adoption focus

 TAC action items from GB

• technical architecture white paper (gaps, overlaps, touchpoints)

  • Help articulate how the LFN pieces fit together

  • Identify synergies to encourage collaboration 

  • Something like a landscape slide that shows relationships

    • Showing dependencies would be useful (eg. ONAP has dependencies on ODL jars)

  • Intended audience: utility to both internal/external - need clarification 

    • All LFN projects focus on the delivery of NFVs and ultimately VNFs

    • Overlaps exist - we know that mapping is the first step in understanding

  • Volunteers for technical architecture review of LFN projects

    • @Joseph Gasparakis (head of the technical committee on TF)

    • @Ranny Haiby

    • @Abhijit K

    • @Chaker Al-Hakim

    • @djhunt

• Deferred: Process for cross-community collaboration

  • Eg. CNCF TUG - GB asks for a proposal on how these collaborations should be done

  • Propose: use a wiki to catalog these efforts

• Deferred: VNF Onboarding and multi-VNFD
