Planned to add the relevant documentation (including something like that) in the gerrit repo, which will be generating sphinx documentation 14:35:41 there are 11 requirements projects; we likely would not expect all leads to participate 14:36:24 #link http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/02/tc-update-project-reform-progress/ 14:39:10 jaosorior, thanks - sounds good. the intent is that we get directly engaged upstream as early as possible. coming out of openstack it was a common feedback to projects like OPNFV - get engaged early, socialize goals, and take feedback in forming blueprints etc - rather than delivering "shrink-wrapped" projects into openstack 14:40:09 bryan_att: The intent is to have the repo to track the progress done in OpenStack as well as relevant documentation. We will have no code as everything will be done upstream. 14:40:37 * Not only in OpenStack but in the relevant components we work on 14:41:14 sounds good 14:41:22 #info ChrisPriceAB also suggests having discussions among testing & integration teams on our learning to-date (parallel to requirements projects) 14:43:13 uli-k and a small group would be good to draft, subject to review by PLs. of course 14:43:25 small group, first draft seems good 14:43:58 #action uli-k to recruit a team from our requirements project community to further develop the requirement projects development process. 14:44:25 #info Ildiko reccommends this be done as a retrospective of what is going well. 14:44:52 maybe a reason we don't have too much req project lead feedback is that many of the leads are in asia zones and not on this call? 14:44:55 I volunteer for that team 14:45:00 #info Ildiko Vancsa 14:46:01 #info ildokov, bryan_att and Gerald_K have volunteered to participate in the requirements project process review with uli-k 14:47:06 * ildikov volunteers for requirements projects way of working group 14:47:27 * ChrisPriceAB oops got your nic wrong, sorry 14:48:09 * uli-k Thanks to the volunteers! 14:48:30 #info suggestion to develop metrics for upstream acceptance of OPNFV proposals (i.e. accepted BPs, projects etc) 14:49:28 #topic Arno Project plans & tracking 14:49:52 #info Release tagging and maintenance structure 14:51:51 #info uli-k mentions that in order to move trunk to the latest upstream versions we would need a maintenance branch 14:52:16 #info Jonas describes the question is if we want to do stable releases at all 14:52:49 #info bryan_att indicates that we will want to be able to release a stable version for issues. 14:53:03 #info uli-k would like to keep the bug-fixing of Arno to a minimum. 14:54:34 #info providing some stability to our consumers and standing behind our release is important to our community, and for our credibility. 14:56:59 agree, my goal is to move to a more stable beta as soon as possible, minimize maintenance overhead, identify who will be addressing maintenance issues (triage, fixing) - we have to support the product but help users move to a more stable release asap 14:57:44 #info bryan_att asks how we will provide support for Arno once we do release 14:57:45 #info suggest a discussion on what "maintenance" of a release means 15:01:32 #action ChrisPriceAB start dialog on the lists regarding support structure for Arno. 15:02:06 On the call now. 15:02:15 #info EOL for Arno shoukd no be before B-release 15:02:38 +1 - we expect to maintain Arno and want to optimize the effort to do so 15:03:08 rprakash: best practice probably continues at least until N + 2 comes out... 15:03:21 #agree There is a need to support and potentially provide stable releases on the Arno release with a minimum maintenance effort. 15:03:35 #info Release activities - flag raising 15:05:07 #info morgan_orange reports that in functional testing we are unable to run a complete sequence. refactoring is ongoing however issues remain on networking. 15:06:20 #info morgan_orange is confident that the full sequence will contain some errors at Arno release however these are able to be explained. 15:07:27 i'm doing my best to address editing / formatting issues in the release docs. can't add a lot of value with the technical content, but will do what I can. We do need to ensure we have quick turnaround on gerrit reviews for doc edits and merge +1's quickly, so ask that committers to BGS and Pharos watch for reviews. And would like easier +1's for simple 15:07:27 editorial changes. 15:08:28 #action morgan_orange to report to the TSC on next weeks meeting on the status and stability of Arno and the automated test suite. 15:09:41 #info 3 or 4 errors in networking now call it orange flag, meeting of test teams to look st regressions, freez etc. 15:09:59 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/r1_tempest 15:10:12 3 or 4 categories of errors but more errors overall 15:10:14 dlenrow, That makes sense for a product, but does it make sense for OPNFV? OpenStack supports old releases to N-1, we're not going to do any better than that, right? 15:10:41 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/r1_rally_bench 15:10:50 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/r1_odl_suite 15:12:17 dneary: We found that from first release on, this worked well for ODL. This is most recent example of a new OSS infra platform. Experience was lots of people built on Hydrogen and wanted maint for multiple releases 15:12:50 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/documentation/Arno current Arno documentation status 15:13:00 dlenrow, N+2 means doing periodic releases of Helium after the release of Lithium - that does not sound feasible or reasonable to me 15:13:31 dneary: We have different interpretation of N +/- can discuss offline 15:13:33 dlenrow, Helium does not have any developer attention any more 15:13:44 #topic Release 2 planning 15:13:56 #info Working on the development process 15:14:09 N: Current release, N+1: Last stable, N+2: Next to last stable. 15:18:29 #info bryan_att describes that cross project discussions will be necessary to ensure we have concistency in our activities. 15:19:02 #info Prakash indicates that requirements should map to upstream development sources, this could be streamlined in cross project activities. 15:19:05 #info would this be a OPNFV design summitt? 15:19:22 * ChrisPriceAB thats planned for November I think 15:20:32 #info That would be a good place to do it. is it on the agenda yet? 15:26:08 #info Release dates and upstream dependencies 15:29:55 chris, while the Board has asked for releases every 6 months do they have any preference on maint releases? 15:30:00 or is that up to us? 15:30:01 #info If we based on openstack Liberty, Liberty itself may not be stable on Nov. 15:30:07 #info There is expectation that B-Release would support Openstack Liberty 15:30:29 So the B-release should be in December, but not too late 15:30:37 #info TSC should decide whether we want to accomodate this expectation. 15:30:55 * ChrisPriceAB TomNadeau: they have not expressed any preferences on maint/stable releases 15:31:44 julien_ZTE: when is an OpenStack release considered to be stable? I mean how long after the official release date? 15:32:14 Mid-December would be a good target for B-release 15:32:38 #info ildikov 2 month at least 15:34:32 #info Liberty target Oct 15. 2015 15:34:44 #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Releases 15:35:05 #info OpenStack has 4 release prior to GA in Oct. Liberty will be pretty stable when released 15:36:03 julien_ZTE: hmm, ok 15:38:05 #info june 4 to dec 4, 6-months we can target and define packages and installrs for ci/cd 15:38:29 #info ONOS, OpenContrail, ODL, OpenStack, Open vSwitch as starting points for upstream communties for release 2 15:38:50 #action dneary to provide a release map for upstream comunities as input in to the B-Release planning discussion. 15:39:23 Add DPDK 15:39:32 #info would lik to work with dneary on this action item above 15:39:42 #info add DPDK to the list above :-) 15:39:52 #agree The TSC agrees thet the accommodation of our current upstream efforts as important when setting a target release date. 15:43:56 #info michael young expects concerns about sprawl and so answer was that markee features in rel 2 should drive the upstream engagement 15:44:52 +1 to tallgren, rpaik on adding DPDK 15:46:54 #info the ETSI NFV has a working group that will be establishing a roadmap of community releases including features.
