Go to identity.linuxfoundation.org 15:20:08 #info Registration links will be sent out soon for registering to the meet-up in santa rosa. 15:21:44 #info frankbrockners mentions that on the main wiki page the events page can be updated with an etherpad to help organise and attend events. 15:22:13 #info I will be in Santa Rosa and can help organize topics and hacking around Copper. As we kick off the project this will be one of the first discussion points. 15:22:24 #info Prague hack-fest 15:23:08 #info there are no venues within walking distance of the ETSI event. The closest event venue is 15 minutes away by metro train at the Marriot. 15:23:31 #info the LinuxFoundation has some awareness of the location and have a good impression of it. 15:23:47 #info we will need to confirm the facility by the end of this week. 15:24:25 #info The HackFest will be on the Monday and Tuesday of the week 15:24:28 #info also AFAIK Dan Druta on my team (or maybe Margaret) will stand in for me at Prague and attend the hack fest IF it doesn't conflict with the ETSI meeting. 15:26:22 The ETSO NFV NOC meets on Monday 15:28:24 #info a discussion occurs on the location of the event being a subway ride away and if this may cause any issues. 15:30:31 #info main wiki page has been updated with links to etherpads which are to supply additional info on meetups/hackfests (for Feb19, Feb 23) 15:31:29 #info I have to drop now, Bin will stand in for me now 15:32:35 #agree The TSC has come to concensus that the locations proposed by the LinuxFoundation for the HackFest will be sufficient and that they should proceed to secure the venue. 15:33:21 #topic Development process 15:37:30 #info agree that's specifically the plan for copper... To create blueprints etc as output of the first release 15:37:51 #info I can help do that 15:38:13 #info ie facilitate the discussion 15:38:13 * ChrisPriceAB did you just volunteer? 15:39:21 #action bryann_att to kick offf discussions around the design process for requirements rpojects 15:42:00 #info ChrisPriceAB opens the floor to discussions around our collaborative development project structure 15:42:42 #info cdub: comments that structuring our development projects around upstream communities provides a structure to engage with the communities. 15:43:13 #info as yet we do not have mechanisms for working with upstream projects, not the deployment scripts for our CI. 15:45:08 #info frankbrockners indicates using a "trial project" will provide guidance one our development process. Proving the process by activity would seem to be the best way. 15:45:25 #info I would start our assuming that projects with multiple up streams should directly commit to them, e.g. Copper will commit to ODL and OpenStack 15:45:59 #info cdub indicates kicking off an OpenStack project would be a good starting point. Feedback has been received that OPNFV could improve it's collaboration with OpenStack. 15:46:12 #link https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/DevProcess <-- strawman proposal 15:46:28 #info frankbrockners agreed that kicking off a project on OpenStack would be a great way to start. 15:46:37 #info having a SPOC as commit passthru will potentially create a bottleneck. Not that it might not optimize some projects, but for others may be a unnecessary overhead 15:49:32 #info we need to keep subject areas contiguous and not arbitrarily split projects across multiple collab dev projects. IPv6 and Copper are good examples of how we need them to be mostly autonomous 15:49:53 #info these projects will commit code in later phases 15:50:00 #info frankbrockners noted that a beachhead project should be concise in nature - i.e. no "general engagement with O/S" but focused on e.g. HA, or IPv6 etc. 15:53:32 #info ChrisPriceAB notes config isn't trivial 15:55:41 #info I think committing happens directly to the upstream but is done by the OPNFV projects. So I still am confused by the last discussion on that point. I think we need some more clarity on the list re how people expect the code to get to the upstream, and the role of discrete projects in pushing commits upstream. 15:56:49 #action ChrisPriceAB and cdub to organise inviting members of the OpenStack TC to the OPNFv TSC call for a 30 minute bilateral discussion 15:57:10 #info semantics 15:58:19 #info in practical terms OPNFV members will be committing to the upstream on behalf of various projects, whether you view than as individuals or as a team in OPNFV 16:02:24 #info gotta drop for real this time. I look forward to the discussion on how we interact with the upstream. I'm not a SME there and probably have some things to learn. I just suggest we team an OPNFV team/project approach to upstreaming. 16:02:33 * ChrisPriceAB thanks bryan 16:08:16 #topic Project Approvals Name and committer check - opnfv_telco_kpi_monitoring 16:08:33 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/collaborative_development_projects/opnfv_telco_kpi_monitoring 16:08:57 #info the project has been renamed to Software Fastpath Service Quality Metrics 16:10:35 #info discussion around the project being requirements or development ensues 16:13:17 #info frankbrockners asks if the project would act as a "beach-head" project for working through the development process in OPNFV. 16:13:58 #info We would monitor and discuss the methodologies and challenges of this project as a method of iteratively improving and refining our processes. 16:15:23 #info Ashiq agrees with Frank. cdub agrees it is a good target project for evaluating our processes. 16:24:51 #startvote Vote for creation of the Software Fastpath Service Quality Metrics - collaborative development project?

The response is to start with OVS/DPDK however the project does not limit itself to that vSwitch 16:48:26 Chris I have to sign off but I vote yes for project "Characterize vSwitch Performance for Telco NFV Use Cases". 16:50:50 #frankbrockners asks what requirements exist on the hardware for this project. 16:52:12 #info Mark answers that some specific hardware will be required and that it will be described for the OPNFV infrastructure 16:52:33 #info frankbrockners asks what requirements exist on the hardware for this project. 16:53:50 #info trevor_intel explains that there is a description of the required hardware on the test and infrastructure page. 16:54:08 * ChrisPriceAB :) 16:58:13 #startvote Vote for creation of the vSwitch Performance - testing project?
