    16. it may be possible to include more servers (ChrisPriceAB, 15:22:46)
    17. franks mentions 2 PODs would be ideal (one of the PODs would be for testing) (rpaik, 15:24:31)

  6. Parser project aspects of interest to release 1 - 5 mins (ChrisPriceAB, 15:56:27)
    1. I will update wiki with schedule etc (bin_, 15:57:05)
    2. Parser project may bring additional value to the release as it is independant from projects and integration. (ChrisPriceAB, 15:57:39)
    3. Release 1 will provide an executable platform, even if it has 0 new features it will be valuable. (bryan_att, 15:59:32)
    4. I think we need to be realistic, and just establishing a lab environment in which we can cobble together (cobbling *well* of course) *one* platform definition into a useful platform, will be enough and probably the most we can really achieve IMO. (bryan_att, 16:00:51)
    5. Chris concerned that Parser may take resources/focus away from work needed for Release 1 (rpaik, 16:05:10)
    6. I see no reason why projects can't be approved with a Release 2 timeline. (bryan_att, 16:05:32)
    7. Suggestion was made that it’d be helpful to clarify the scope of Release 1 (rpaik, 16:07:55)

    1. https://wiki.opnfv.org/oscar/project_proposal (rpaik, 16:10:02)
    2. I think that project leads should be able to (and proactive in) managing the wiki for their projects. General sections of the wiki need a maintainer but overall I don't see any major issue with wiki management. People just need to post the current info and remove the old, proactively. (bryan_att, 16:10:13)
    3. Uli ask if Stack #2 is available to the community (rpaik, 16:21:29)
