  • OPNFV internship program proposal: Ray presented the proposal for OPNFV internship. This is a year around program with options for either 3-month or 6-month project. The mentors will be responsible for posting the project proposal, selecting, and managing the intern. Thus the availability and dedication of mentors will be key to the success of the intern project. The community is asked to provide additional feedback via mailing list or wiki.
  • Brahmaputra update: Debra has been focused on working with the community on CI/Genesis/test infrastructure activities. There was also a call on plug-in development which was identified as a gap. There was a question if there is a summary of the features available for all installer in Brahmaputra and they can be found at https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/genesisreq/tree/docs/sources/system-requirements.rst and https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/genesisreq/tree/docs/sources/ux-requirements.rst. Uli added that we do not yet have a stable base for our testing projects to further develop stability in the test suites. There was also a discussion on availability of PODs for installers/CI/testing/releases, and more detailed discussion will continue on Pharos calls.
  • Review and comments on the API workshop material: Bryan Sullivan will be representing OPNFV at the API workshop, and the goal of his presentation is to communicate our desire to collaborate with SDO' performing interface modeling and specification. Bryan is soliciting feedback/input from the community especially on some technical areas.
  • Methods of publishing requirements work with our release: Uli noted "requirements" documents we release should receive a proper review. However, adding them to the documentation tree would not require a huge effort. There was also a discussion that requirements documents are living documents.
  • Project Creation Review
    • OVN for NFV project proposal: The goal of this project is to align on NFV requirements and contribute upstream to OVN. There was a question on what additional capabilities are provided by OVN, and Vikram noted that OVN provides an alternative method of implementing existing features and distributes network control elements. In response to questions regarding OVSNFV project, Vikram noted that objectives of OVN and OVSNFV projects are different, but the intention is to work with OVSNFV team. Via IRC vote, project creation was approved for ovn4nfv (+1: 8 votes, 0: 4 votes, -1: none as shown on IRC log)
  • Updates from the December board meeting: postponed to future meeting as time was running out

    • Plugfest working group e-mail: Chris Price sent an email to the mailing list seeking volunteers for the upcoming Plugfest.
    • Q1 Hackfest poll: The poll was close between Collab Summit (18):ONS (15). There was a good discussion on whether it makes sense to have two separate meetings or one meeting at one location. Via IRC vote, the TSC agreed to have the Q1 Hackfest co-located with ONS (week of March 14th, 2016).
  • Removal of OPNFV's initial scope constraints: Prodip Sen gave an update to the technical community on the board's decision to remove initial scope constraints. Prodip noted that most of the concerns were around the timing and not necessarily on removing the constraints. There was a feedback that the technical community would like more transparency and discussion around important topics like the scope. The community also discussed if the TSC Policy document needs to be updated with the removal of scope constraints, and there was a general consensus that an update is need. Dave Lenrow and Brian Skerry have the action item to start a workgroup and propose an amendment of the TSC policy for TSC review.
  • Brahmaputra milestone D report: Debra shared the Milestone D report plus projections for Milestone E. Some of the concerns approaching Milestone E are CI unknowns, installer interactions, resource issues, etc. Chris Price noted that one of the learnings from Brahmaputra is that there is a need for more detailed information on milestone criteria.
  • TSC meetings rest of the year: There will be TSC calls on December 22nd & January 5th. NO meeting on December 29th.
  • OPNFV input at Jan 13-14 ETSI NFV-ISG Inter-SDO Information Modeling Workshop: Bryan Sullivan sent out emails to mailing lists regarding the workshop and Bryan is looking for community to provide input from OPNFV as he is developing the presentation.
  • Artifact page updates, approval of budget: There was a discussion on revamping the current artifacts page and Fatih has an action item to start discussing the new artifacts page design on mailing lists. Via IRC vote, TSC approved the budget for the new artifacts page.

  • Milestone D update: Debra noted that milestone D reports are looking good, but projects are reporting issues as they work towards Milestone E. Debra will also reach out to project leads for 1-on-1 discussions.
  • Plugfest support: Certification & compliance committee wants to have plugfest events following each release. First one is targeted for March-June timeframe after the Brahmaputra release. Chris Price noted that a working group (for testing/integration) is needed to support plugfests. Chris Price/Wenjing will send a note to the mailing list to start the conversation on the Plugfest working group
  • Q1'2016 Hackfest LF Collab-Summit vs. ONS discussion: There was a good discussion on co-locating the Q1 hackfest at either the LF Collab Summit (Lake Tahoe) or ONS (Santa Clara). Ray Paik took the action item to send out a poll to gauge community preference.
  • OPNFV security initiative: Luke described LF's Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) badge program and how many of the items in the program provides a recommended framework to help OPNFV focus on security as a community. There was a good discussion on impact of upstream components and how the program applies to an integration project like OPNFV. There was a consensus in the TSC for the OPNFV security group to pursue the CII badge program.
  • Pharos LF & Community lab use for Brahmaputra release processing: Fatih explained that there will be resource constraints for Brahmaputra testing if we constrain the release testing to be done only in the LF labs and would like to take advantage of capacity in community Pharos labs. There was a good discussion on which community labs can provide the capability and the need to re-purpose some of the developmental labs for release testing. Using community lab resources also gives the community to demonstrate portability of OPNFV. The TSC agreed to allow the use of Pharos community labs for release testing.

Ray Paik responds that the update is in progress and should be updated soon. There was a discussion on the Word template of the project proposal and the consensus was to remove the Word template and continue using the Wiki template.
  • Project scope changes: There was a discussion on what needs to be done when project's scope changes post creation. The consensus was to have project teams notify the TSC of the scope change and the TSC reserves the right to discuss/review the scope change. There was also a suggestion that changes in the project should be well documented in the project wiki page.
  • Process for archiving projects: There was a discussion on how a project maybe archived when the project has no active members. Also, when dormant projects are listed on the wiki this may cause misconceptions on OPNFV's activities. So far, two dormant projects have been identified, and Ray Paik contacted the project teams regarding archiving those projects.
  • Finalize the review of the Board f2f and discussions: Uli raised the concern that a major changes in the technical aspect of the project as a result of board discussions should be discussed in the technical community. Chris Prise raised the point that board discussions are not public information so this is not always easy. Discussion ensued, and Uli made a request that in the future Chris Price ask for more time to the board in order to collect more input from the technical community.
  • Wiki migration plans: The community is generally in agreement with the proposed timeline, however, the request is made to start the migration process post December 1st (Brahmaputra milestone D).

  • OPNFV Project classification discussion: Ildiko led a discussion on a proposal to combine the project types in the OPNFV project lifecycle document into a single project type. Projects would include needed combination of documentation, development, needed integration and testing and is reflective of the way the projects are working in OPNFV today. Ildiko also proposes re-classification of project types to; Continuous Build and Integration, Continuous Deployment and Testing & New Requirements and Features. There is also no need for a "top-level" project. TSC agrees to continue development of these proposals and there will be a community activity to revise documents such as Project Lifecycle, TSC Policy, Bylaws, etc. and bring to the TSC for review at a later date.
  • OPNFV Brahmaputra Release discussion: Debra mentions that based on feedback received so far, there is limited dependency on OpenStack Liberty which makes a December release a viable (with OpenStack Kilo). Discussion ensued if the community is comfortable with being “behind” on OpenStack release if we stay with June/December cadence (installer support & testing will likely require ~2 months post OpenStack release). Debra also shared the Brahmaputra release page (Releases Brahmaputra Release Plan) with the definition of the release theme "Lab Readiness". A suggestion was made to agree on dates for Milestones A/B/C next week.
  • Project creation review:
    • Project Name: Genesis: Frank noted that the genesis project intends to work across the installer projects to create a common set of requirements for the installers to comply to during the release. The project will also work with component teams to facilitate the integration of new components into the installers. Frank also added that governance details are still in draft and will evolve. The project creation was approved via IRC vote.
