Agenda

The project's Antitrust Policy is linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important when multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review it, and if you have any questions, please contact your company's legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

  • Action Item Review (Backlog)

  • Liaison statement from ITU-T FG-AINN: [sp18-fg-ainn-oLS-00002] (LS on call for contributions to the new Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence Native for Telecommunication Networks (FG-AINN)) - @Ranny Haiby

  •  

Minutes

Github account issues

  • Current situation is that only LFN admins can make these changes, close/merge profiles, remove dead profiles, etc. Users have to open tickets to get this done.

    • transfer accounts: open support issue to remove unused accounts in your profile

    • Casey will add pointer https://otterdog.readthedocs.io/ that is part of the release in June that should be able to give project leads more local ability to make these changes.

ITU-T Call for Contribution:

  • LFN talks on AI would be welcome. Virtual participation seems possible, however the link is only accessible to members.

Gerrit attacks

  • ODL and another unknown project suffered from Gerrit attacks (DoS) and issue seems not solved yet

    • LF IT is looking into it but status and mitigation plan is unknown

    • LF IT should centrally inform other projects on the issue, status and mitigation plan (Anuket functest and ONAP also use Gerrit)
