Everything on the list is subject to further discussion, and further work 13:17:45 #info bryan_att questions requirement for "production-quality" 13:20:32 #info SampleVNF is not targeted for "production-ready" VNF 13:20:58 #info while EUAG requires "production-ready" VNFs 13:21:26 #info will all reference VNFs be open source? 13:21:28 #info The question is if there is a match to use SampleVNF project to address EUAG requirement 13:22:24 #info Another question is if "production-quality" is really EUAG requirement 13:22:42 #info David M takes action to confirm with Steven W 13:23:40 #action dmcbride confirms with Steven W if "production-quality" is EUAG requirement or not 13:27:01 #info dneary says that any VNF in the catalog should be freely available and useable without restriction 13:32:32 dneary: dmcbride in first step we consider only Open Source VNF for the catalog (I also precise that the catalog is the work of an intern, there are still lots of work..we planned to include this work into samplVnf project 13:34:00 morgan_orange, Thanks for the detail 13:34:17 http://ec2-34-210-8-241.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/ 13:34:35 #info dmcbride clarifies that his goal is to satisfy the EUAG pain point looking for a list of VNFs - he sees the SampleVNF as potentially a good owner of the list 13:35:16 #info Julien 13:35:38 #info dneary clarifies that SampleVNF is subject to OPNFV licensing rules - they could add VNFs under open source licenses other than Apache v2 but would need an exception, but there is nothing preventing them from collecting a list of VNFs. 13:37:11 #info The concern voiced by bryan_att was to avoid a situation where this list means something (eg. VNFs tested by OPNFV on our infrastructure) - running and testing proprietary VNFs could bring us down a slippery slope - but the team should be able to maintain a list of VNFs without restriction 13:37:48 Nice jose_lausuch 13:37:56 #link http://ec2-34-210-8-241.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/ 13:41:04 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/VNF+Catalogue 13:44:07 #info bryan_att says that first paragraph falls outside the scope of simply having a catalog of VNFs. MANO problem. 14:01:11 hi morgan_orange, who is working on VNF+Catalogue, in which project? 14:02:34 #endmeeting
