Goals

  • Review action items for operations/TSC

  • Discuss all AIs with MeldOps  tag

Discussion items

  • Proposed converged workflow OR keep separate workflows?

    • CNTT been using github; OPNFV using gerrit

    • gitlab/gitlab CI is the LF strategic direction

      • Timeframe? POC running in 2020 - decision on wide scale adoption in 2021

        • OPNFV projects StorPerf and Kuberef in proof of concept

    • gitlab has more tools - issue trackers, wiki... - is it gitlab for CI/repos OR more of the tool chain?

      • Jira and Confluence strongly integrated == more value

      • defer supporting tools and just focus on CI/repo management

    • Would it help RI work if the tool chain were the same?

      • RTD workflow the same

      • CI integration is the challenging area 

        • OPNFV has sep group managing the CI process

        • gitlab enables each project to manage their own CI tools

      • Merge mindset and issue tracking unification would be helped by common tools

      • How are dependencies tracked from specs to RI code changes?

        • not tracked today

    • Proposal: Continue using current tools and defer any migration to gitlab

      • Elbrus release stay on github - then converge on a common tool chain

      • Is there a short term convergence step?

        • Yes, but that would be a multi-step move (more pain)

      • Directional agreement on converged toolchain - question is on priority

  • Define PROPOSAL for the day-in-the-life of the future TSC and discuss the needed operational support (inputs/outputs)

    • Develop a straw-proposal for the TSC workflow and refine as we go

    • OPNFV TSC workflow is largely defined by the charter

    • Communicate back to Org/Gov our dependencies on the operational procedures

      • Who of TSC, how long are secondary decisions

      • OPNFV has the charter and operational procedures, where is the CNTT similar docs?

    • Schedule a separate meeting and propose the TSC operations 



  • @Sunku Ranganath (Deactivated) Presented some materials on organizing around areas of interest

    • Operationally - have small working groups that bring together the architects and developer to identify gaps and create plans to address the issues

    • Good taxonomy developed as a work in progress: MeldOperations-Domains.pptx
