Page History

• Determine version alignment
  • RC & RI effort scoped with owners identified
  • RM & RA versions selected 
    • Note: RI version aligns with RA version (e.g., RI2 version number will be identical to the selected RA2 version)
    • Note:  the RA version selected will not be the same RA version that is currently in process with the specification team (N-1)
    • Note:  RA specifies Openstack/Kubernetes
  • Prioritized features selected for implementation from specifications
• Project release plans submitted
  • Note: submission of a project release plan also serves as an intent-to-participate notification

• Project plans
  • Software projects will submit a project plan, following the template developed for OPNFV for the Jerma release.

• High level scope created

• If there is a new or updated RA, then we will need a new, or updated RC.  Note that this is NOT necessarily the same RC referenced by the RI under development in the current release cycle. It may be the same, if the plan is to complete an RC before development of the RI within the same release cycle.
