2022-01-10 - Plenary: Event Welcome and Opening Comments

there is an event today 

2022-01-10 - Plenary: Intro to Open Source and LFN

The usual Intro – Thank you Heather!

2022-01-10 - Plenary: EUAG Future Direction

• Many members stopped seeing value as emphasis has shifted to creation of papers vs. providing input to communities

• White papers that are positioning papers are perceived as more valuable than research papers

• EUAG could be a coordinating committee for the project Telco representatives

•  @Beth Cohen will take today's input back to the EUAG for discussion.

How to get the correct people involved and input fed back to the communities.

2022-01-10 - Plenary: Consistent Documentation Standards

• Need for consistent docs standards is critical.  

• Identified minimum set of required docs

• Need to require docs as part of a release – no docs/no release

• Create tools and templates to make it easier for the docs as part of the release process

Gain consensus in the LFN community on how to do it

Tactics to support it

• Reviewed the essential problem statement of Telcos wanting to leverage cloud infrastructure and capabilities but needing the flexibility, choice to be able to support multiple cloud environments

• Support public, private and hybrid  

• Consensus that many solution providers were seeking to create Single Pane of Glass management solutions but without some common requirements, specifications and perhaps APIs, this could lead to more chaos

• Consensus that it seem to be appropriate for ANuket to consider adding requirements in this area.

• May need additional information for software release page on website, particularly regarding RA dependency for RC and RI specifications.

• Insufficient input from telcos on testing needs

• Need to integrate other test/performance projects into common CI chain
