Sept webinar Panel

Branding for new LFN Project (Merged) 

Minutes

Mirantis has an allotted webinar under the Intel Network Builders ecosystem marketing program and had opted to feature a panel style CNTT-related topic. 

The topic is related to HW Interfacing in the Reference Architectures and Reference Implementation that result from the CNTT initiative, given that there would be a desire to frame the panel in a way that has a tie in the hardware, given that it is hosted under the INB program. 

We will have participants from AT&T, Mirantis, Verizon, Intel, Nokia and Ericsson and have a stating point of questions to guide the discussion. and take place on Sept 22.
