  2. Stable Lithium Updates (tbachman, 15:06:14)
    1. alagalah says the focus of the current work is on stability — CSIT standup for GBP/SFC, clustering support, etc. (tbachman, 15:07:40)
    2. alagalah says that a lot of the team has done a great job of adding unit tests (kinsey, kblagov, tomas_c|2, et. al.) and CSIT (tomas_c|2, kblagov, et. al.) (tbachman, 15:09:36)
    3. alagalah says after CSIT, we’re creating documentation, to help folks understand things like the robot framework (tbachman, 15:10:27)
    4. alagalah says we’re looking at adding the GBP neutron pieces into an OPNFV project (tbachman, 15:10:47)
    5. alagalah says an endgoal is to be able to test upstream openstack against the GBP neutron integration (tbachman, 15:11:42)
    6. alagalah says multinode testing done by tomas_c|2 will be a big help (tbachman, 15:12:49)

  3. Stable Lithium updates - Thomas Demo of how cool the demo env is without restarting controller (alagalah, 15:15:10)
    1. tbachman Is showing the standard 6 node GBPSFC demo with ODL running on his laptop (not in the demo VMs) (alagalah, 15:16:10)
    2. Doing a demo of asymmetric chain (alagalah, 15:17:50)
    3. showed the traffic working, then runs ./cleandemo.sh which removes the Datastore and Network element data (alagalah, 15:21:48)
    4. then runs the standalone GBP demo (alagalah, 15:21:58)
    5. martin_sunal (martin_sunal, 15:22:33)
    6. alagalah says that the SFC project has different scheduling algorithms; GBP isn’t leveraging this at the moment, but could with some small modifications (tbachman, 15:30:37)
    7. alagalah says the RSP is referenced by name, so we could come up with a naming convention to use to enable this (tbachman, 15:31:10)
    8. alagalah is trying to modify the GBPSFC demo so that SFs can be put in docker containers (tbachman, 15:32:22)

  4. Beryllium release planning (tbachman, 15:35:03)
    1. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NZPhsEccY5lBOXI0v1uygE0Y_iIjCjRNcs27H4e4CMw/edit?usp=sharing Brainstorming document for Beryllium release planning (tbachman, 15:35:22)
    2. https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Group_Based_Policy_(GBP)/Releases/Beryllium GBP Beryllium release plan (tbachman, 15:35:38)
    3. https://trello.com/b/fDQss8ez/odlgbp-beryllium Trell board for GBP Beryllium release (tbachman, 15:36:11)
    4. alagalah says we have until September 3rd to get the final release plan completed (tbachman, 15:36:50)
    5. alagalah says code freeze is in December (tbachman, 15:38:44)
    6. alagalah says that anything modeled in YANG can be exposed to the outside world via REST (tbachman, 15:40:20)
    7. alagalah says that navigating the full model can be daunting — led to discussion of how to map DSL from northbound into the model (tbachman, 15:41:16)
    8. alagalah says this allows us to keep domain specifics in a dictionary — allowing for DSL mappings (tbachman, 15:44:29)
    9. alagalah says this has implications into the UX — how do we expose this to the user (tbachman, 15:44:51)
    10. alagalah says we could potentially use yang-ui as a means of enabling this type of “expert-mode” (tbachman, 15:45:53)
    11. yapeng asks if the neutron northbound would become a consumer of this expert-mode (tbachman, 15:48:07)
    12. alagalah says it’s actually the opposite — our contract with NN is to map the interfaces it exposes (tbachman, 15:48:38)
    13. yapeng asks who would use the new API (tbachman, 15:49:38)
    14. alagalah says anyone using ODL GBP for Neutron (tbachman, 15:49:48)
    15. alagalah says the core engine should have no domain specifics in it (tbachman, 15:52:04)
    16. alagalah says we need to separate the forwarding and access models into different files (tbachman, 15:52:58)
    17. alagalah says the forwarding model is in the main GBP project, and there is no alternate forwarding model; this precludes others from easily adding new forwarding models (tbachman, 15:53:30)
    18. alagalah says anyone wishing to contribute should start with our wiki page (also see Trello board) (tbachman, 16:01:04)
    19. alagalah will be at LinuxCon next week - will try to kick off discussion on the ML for the Beryllium release (tbachman, 16:03:41)
