Meeting Notes

Discussion of ETSI PlugFest endorsement.  We are still just a taskforce, which isn't fully a working group, so doesn't have a logo and official status. We need to get into a deeper discussion on this topic.  Need to talk to GSE about the merits and feasibility.  Plugfest is mostly an interoperability testing effort.   Have a couple of options.  We can do a special track with the OVP suite for vendors to test their commercial products.   The event is in June, so we should be able to have something to participate in.  The Seoul event will have similar activities, need to coordinate with the ETSI PlugFest.   Might want to dig into more details on what is feasible.  Need to set up a Tiger Team to look into it.  @Pierre Lynch [Keysight] @Bob Monkman (Deactivated) @Rabi Abdel @Scott Steele will ask Mike Fix to help as well volunteered to help with this.  

ONES Panel: Jisu will be dropped, Replaced by Michale (from GSMA), still looking at adding Andrew from Red Hat.

White paper:  We have a resource from Intel to help with the content.  Send the writer Chapter 1 of the RM.  @Beth Cohen@Rabi Abdel will help with WP creation.

Metrics show lots of independent contributors, but clearly not true.  Need to work more on drilling down on what is going on.

Discussion on developing more technical messages – Blogs, etc. to drive more engagement and excitement about the project.  Action items are captured and consolidated in GitHub(https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/projects/28).  Currently all action items are in Confluence tagged MMA.

Interview team updated the questions to be more vendor friendly.  Mirantis and Orange scheduled.  Vodaphone is in the works to schedule.  Red Hat: Andrew is working on arranging a Red Hat interview.
