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
Start with wiki doc: https://lf-networking.atlassian.net/wiki/x/8YLm
@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
