• ONAP CI/CD Analytics https://gitlab.com/Orange-OpenSource/lfn/onap/onap_oom_automatic_installation/-/pipelines/charts

Inclusive Language Update

• @djhunt talked about the current status of the Inclusive Language Initiative

  • LF and the committee are reaching out the various standard organizations to find out if there is a consensus

  • LFN team is coordinating with LF on the broader initiative. 

• @Ed Warnicke We should build a list of exactly where we need to make changes.

OPNFV/CNTT working group TAC rep

• The workgroup has offered to have a TAC representative on the working group.

• TAC is unsure of the requirements for the position.  Asks for further details explaining what the expectations are for the role.

LFN Scaleability

• @djhunt spoke briefly about the LFN Scalability efforts taking place in the SPC.

Any other topics

• @Ed Warnicke asks for the projects to take a deeper look at their budget spend and identify areas for cost savings. 

  • @Kenny Paul and @Casey Cain explained that the budget is not managed on a per-project basis but more of portfolio management.   

  • Cost savings can be identified and resolved like in ODL.

    • @Abhijit K It was identified that CI/CD was their biggest spend and they looked at the longest running, most expensive jobs, and looked to streamline them saving the community a considerable amount of money.

    • Identifying areas such as this in your communities may be able to improve your budget and available funding.

• @Casey Cain Zoom will be making changes to all Zoom accounts requiring a password or a waiting room for all meetings starting Sep 27, 2020 .  LFN PM teams will be reaching out to the various communities on how this will affect them.

  • Zoom meeting links will likely need to be updated and distributed.
