Agenda

• We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings.

  • Our demos have had a lot of success and visibility.  In an effort to continue to improve the experience, we plan on moving all demo tooling from the projects to the LFN Infrastructure.  We are also adding a 5G radio for use in the Montreal lab for E2E and RAN demos.

  • Planning stages for ONES NA demos in progress now.

  • Brandon also noted that we will encourage demo outputs to be contributed back to project repos & releases.

  • There will also be a focus in 2021 to find a balance of community participation and demos.

    • @Morgan Richomme reinforced the point that community participation should be prioritized when selecting demos and that those demos & non-commercial code should be contributed to the upstream community.
