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. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Elections

• Casey reminded the community to vote in the AI Seat election. It was also noted that nominations for the Committer rep to the Governing Board closes on Feb 13, 2025

Developer Events

• There will be no in-person developer event for the LFN community in 2025.

• We are are recommending that the communities align their Developer event around their upcoming releases and strategy goals.

  • We also want to do a series of workshops around specific domains that are of interest to all communities.

    • Security and Quality goals

      • Are there any action items that emerged from the Quality & Security Goals meetings? How do we implement them across the communities?

      • A virtual workshop would make sense right after identifying the champions for this topic in each community.

    • AI

      • How can we bring LLMs into our daily support of the community? More generally, what are the more practical use cases for AI in networking

    • Infrastructure

      • Are there any silos in our community? How can we identify them?

    • Documentation

      • Adoption

      • How much does documentation contribute to success?

      • How much can we leverage AI?

    • Multi-project use cases / demos / etc

      • Macro solutions

      • 5G-SBP Blueprints

    • Marketing virtual workshop - Reaching new audiences (supporting the MAC)

      • Podcasts? TikTok?

      • Creative Marketing

Release Tracking

• There is a request to centralize the release windows of all of the LFN communities to support Marketing and Business Development.

• Can we create a common (not quite template) release information document, and where should that live so that we can try to automate tracking?

• Should we do it manually and request that release managers from the communities update a central location manually?

  • Yes, this would be additional work, but it would also keep us in touch with the community's active release managers.

• Should we do this in the wiki or GitHub?

• First steps

  • Create a central listing of the community release managers.

Crypto Inv

• We need to identify which communities are leveraging crypto in their development.

• How do we prepare for a post-quantum crypto world?
