Minutes

Vice-Chair Election

• @Ranny Haiby won the election! Congratulations Ranny and thanks for stepping up.

Developer Recruitment  Initiative

• From discussions at the virtual event

• 3 segments

  • Casual developer

  • Building a pipeline in academia 

  • Encouraging more corporate contributions

• Group formed to focus on this challenge

• Key focus: Awareness, Recognition, Tooling

• Badging through Acclaim:

  • Digital badges perhaps for committers and mentorship program participants

  • @Mike Woster to explore this at the LF level

  • John Mertic has worked with LF training team to create a badge hierarchy

  • @FREEMAN, BRIAN D College students/young developers may find this useful for substantiating their skills.

    • Univ Arizona has a professor lead program

  • @Ranny Haiby  a repo check-in is a clear indicator of contribution and is publicly viewable - no need to over do badging

  • @djhunt Use LF Insights to trigger a contributor badge?

  • What is "significant contributor mean"?

  • @Abhijit K How can outside people interpret these badges?

  • ISM has a series of badges that lead to a architect level (eg. public speaking, code development...)

  • @cl664y@att.com Bottleneck is the committers in the process - perhaps a certificate on Linkedin that would be a differentiator in the recruiting process

  • @FREEMAN, BRIAN D F2f meeting used to have awards for top contrib, etc. - seemed to have dropped off 

  • @Abhijit K What is the cost of these badges? No cost for the badges - staff costs are the real cost

  • Getting the right criteria uniformly across the projects 

  • Volunteers: @Abhijit K @djhunt @cl664y@att.com

LFN Cross-Community Integration, Demos, etc

• @Ranny Haiby How can we have more examples of real LFN cross-project collaboration?

• @Brandon Wick ONS events include demo ideas from the community - cross project proposals are ranked higher for inclusion

  • 10 demos in the pipeline for virtual demo formats of upcoming ONES

• How can we institutionalize sharing across communities?

  • Without to much over head - K8s SIGs are an example - eg. Security is a common interest area
    
    

    • @cl664y@att.com Yes - security spans all software and potentially have best practices to share across projects

    • @Al Morton  CNTT RA-1 (Baldy) requirements have 70 unique line items around security

• @cl664y@att.com What about the release cadence topic across LFN? This is a tricky topic.

• @Morgan Richomme  Running and managing the testing process in ONAP are leveraging OPNFV framework - so perhaps this is another area for collaboration

  • Also includes the process of building the CI toolchains

  • Dependency management is another area that might be a fruitful area for sharing best practices
