Agenda

  • Renaming

    • An executive decision (literally) has been made to use the name LFN Super Blueprints going forward. Removes “5G” to reflect the projects diversity, maintains the name recognition and legacy of “Super Blueprints” and aligns with the concept of “LFN as the Collaboration Hub” which has been used as a driving principal for over a year.

    • Next Steps:

      • Update the project logo

      • Update Landscape, wiki, repo, meeting, mail lists, etc.

      • Charter language

      • Communication/Marketing

  • Blueprints update to the LFN Board for March 18:

Agenda

  • Duranta integration

  • 5G SBP Renaming

    • Proposed name LFN Super Blueprints

      • LFN Reference Designs

      • LFN Reference Deployments

      • Add an evolving tag line

      • Create AI syntax

        • AI

        • integration

        • creation of new business capabilities

        • a name that implies the pathway from low fidelity prototype to high TRL implementations and ultimately commercialization and/or deployment at scale

        • Term LFN can create confusion to projects that are not part of LFN, but very close related. EX: Aether, O-RAN-SC (for now), etc. They would think that for these prototypes, you have to be an LFN project. It happened once before.

      • Creative Brief?

Attendance- Cedric, Martin, Olivier, Muddasar, Ranny, Shankar, Ganesh, Lincoln, LJ

Agenda

  • CNTi- discussion on how CNTi might be included in 5G Super Blueprint and/or Reference Open Source Testbed

Discussion

  • Muddasar- possible use Test Suite within the CICD pipeline for validation against best practices.

  • Muddasar- provide education on Test Suite to self-access, promote, self-discovery, and discovery of new use cases.

  • Lincoln-I do think there is a bit of a "packaging" issue on a lot of the OS projects.  For example, when we use Open 5GS in a reference deployment, it's not packaged well for cloud deployment (today), similar for OAI.  For the new Duranta, it will also be interesting too. I think that is what Muddasar was hinting at, and if we can help make that better for the projects, it will make them easier to consume and easier to "deploy" in the reference labs.

  • Martin- traction with Free5GC

  • Muddasar- suggests working with OAI/Duranta, and ORAN-SC

    • Lincoln- OAI can be containerized but, to my knowledge, it has not been tested for cloud native

  •  

Action Items

  • Run the test suite against an upcoming, or next playbook, 5G SBP project

    • Lincoln- Yes and no, I don't think we can yet hold "all" components to the CNTI requirements / testing
      But for the compoents that can meet that requirement, I think it could be a good CI gate

  • Create a referencne CNF. This is being done with Free5GC
