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 (Archived)

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.
