  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/PROJ/C-RAN  (bh526r, 14:10:29)
  * Changming introduced this proposal  (bh526r, 14:10:44)
  * dneary asked whether the VCO v2 demo work was part of the first work
    item (integration, deployment, and testing of RAN-VNF). Changming
    confirmed that this was the plan.  (dneary, 14:16:45)
  * There will be another meeting later today to discuss how VCO v2
    group and CRAN project will work together  (dneary, 14:17:12)
  * Tapio wanted to join as a contributor of this project on behalf of
    Nokia  (bh526r, 14:20:25)
  * Dave asks if alternative approaches could be in scope, or whether
    the architecture decisions in the proposal are definitive - for
    example, if the VCO v2 demo has to use another approach, is that OK?
    (dneary, 14:29:56)
  * Tapio asked hardware acceleration  (bh526r, 14:42:27)
  * such as in your lab, do you plan to open certain hardware?  (bh526r,
    14:42:57)
  * Changming said only DPDK thing now in lab. In the future, they will
    try to do this work  (bh526r, 14:43:29)
  * Bin asked because the major effort is VNFs (vMME, MEC etc.), what is
    the difference from SampleVNF and FuncTest projects etc?  (bh526r,
    14:44:24)
  * Changming said he would synchronize with FuncTest and Yardstick. The
    focus is to enhance VNFs with additional specifications, as well as
    enhancement of platform, such as OS patches, hypervisor enhancement
    (eg KVM) etc.  (bh526r, 14:45:34)
  * Bin suggested to add those clarifications such as difference from
    SampleVNF, FuncTest, Yardstick, KVM4NFV etc in wiki. Right now, the
    Dependencies section shows None.  (bh526r, 14:46:30)
  * Tapio asked what is the difference from CORD?  (bh526r, 14:47:13)
  * China Mobile will announce something of new C-RAN next year. Based
    on new announcement, we will give difference from CORD, and set up
    collaboration with each other in Q2 next year  (bh526r, 14:49:08)
  * Brian asked what is the meeting after this meeting?  (bh526r,
    14:50:13)
  * Changming said it would be one hour later  (bh526r, 14:55:11)
  * It is suggested that Changming communicate and collaborate with CORD
    project more closely  (bh526r, 14:56:56)
  * Changming will share the demo meeting information with Brian offline
    (bh526r, 14:59:07)

* AOB  (bh526r, 14:59:15)
  * Bin mentioned we don't know if we have topics for meetings in next 2
    weeks. If we do, we will talk to each other next week. Otherwise,
    wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year  (bh526r, 15:00:04)
  * Bin will send either meeting notice or cancellation notice depending
    on topics  (bh526r, 15:00:30)
