14:39:19 <dneary> Thanks bryan_att
14:39:23 <bryan_att> I will capture notes from this point incuding since I connected
14:39:35 <dneary> bryan_att, Can you replay your earlier #infos?
14:40:08 <bryan_att> #topic Trevor presents plugfest planning proposals
14:40:45 <DanSmithEric> #info Daniel SMith
14:40:57 <bryan_att> #info Discussion of the logistics for the testfest; Trevor presents slides with an outline and discussion of the planning
14:41:12 <rpaik> #info CableLabs has capacity for 60 participants
14:41:36 <bryan_att> #info Cablelabs is unsure it can setup equipment shipped there; participants need to be there ahead of time
14:41:48 <rpaik> #info participants will also need to setup their hardware the week prior to the the Plugfest
14:42:18 <bryan_att> #info Trevor raises concerns about need for installer, hardware, and etc support staff to overcome roadblocks
14:42:19 <Julien-zte> #info hi, is Dovetail meeting on UTC 14:00 or an hour earlier?
14:42:44 <bryan_att> Julien-zte: UTC 14:00
14:43:36 <bryan_att> #info Trevor asked about fest metric priorities: bryan suggested #1 is # of participants, #2 is # of executed tests/senarios, #3 is pass/fail rate
14:43:36 <DanSmithEric> #info is there a list of what VNF's / vendors and applications we are going to be debugging?
14:44:13 <Julien-zte> #info thanks, bryan_att, I make a mistake that I think it is 23:00 in my timezone.
14:44:39 <bryan_att> #info dneary asked what "concentrating on the B release" means; what was included in the release, or on SFC overall (incl things not yet released)
14:44:58 <bryan_att> #info raynugent suggests to keep it simple
14:45:37 <bryan_att> #info dneary points that products lag te release e.g. by 6 months thus focus on the previous/recent release will be unfruitful
14:46:29 <DanSmithEric> #info - i was under the impression( maybe wrong) - that it was an 'open forum" to have a vnf come and we try and lift it up to our platforrm and get it working
14:46:41 <bryan_att> #info re hardware setup, DanSmithEric says: that for my part, if (for example) Ericsson wanted to bring HDs, i would need to know things like - who do i contact ? how do we start the process to talk about having hardware moved to a physcail site (we need to do some engineering)
14:47:02 <DanSmithEric> if a VNF was outon say KILO and we target it - then we can then say - lest bring them up to the plugefest and say _ we will get you working on OPNR b release - port you forwards?
14:47:25 <bryan_att> #info DanSmithEric: my other quetsion is that - we can provide platforms for people (for example -  bunch of environmetns for people to develpo amd play on).
14:48:31 <bryan_att> #info Lincoln points that testing a solution on new hardware is a big draw for vendors and thus needs to be one of the goals
14:49:05 <rpaik> #info Pierre/Licoln notes that Plugfest should provide an opportunity for vendors to do testing that they could not do themselves in their companies
14:49:31 <bryan_att> #info Pierre Lynch: we should decouple the hardware from the software ecosystem to help ensure we are focusing on the platform not the hardware
14:50:09 <bryan_att> #info Bryan: I think the HW focus is due to the real practical concerns about hardware-related roadblocks in the event
14:51:01 <bryan_att> #info dneary points that we are not yet evolved to the point that such pure decoupling can occur (dave - please verify this was your point)
14:51:52 <bryan_att> #info dneary: we should focus on the platform components and not apps running on the platform
14:52:17 <dneary> bryan_att, Yes, that was it
14:52:25 <bryan_att> #info raynugent: the goals of the compliance program and the plugfest need to be decoupled
14:53:15 <hongbo_> #info hongbo
14:54:51 <bryan_att> #info Lincoln: the testfest should be collaborative and positive and result in more info acquired by the vendors rather than just a pass-fail measure
14:56:41 <bryan_att> #info on the bridge: HongBo, Trevor Cooper, Ashok Emani (Intel), Bin Hu, Bryan Sullivan, Chen Shuai, Chris Donley, Daniel Smith, Dave Neary, Julien, Lincoln Lavoie, Lingli, Michael, Mika R. (Nokia), Pierre Lynch, Ray Nugent, Ray Paik, Sajeev Manikkoth, Brian Skerry, Tetsuya Nakamura, Weidong Shao, Xiaoli Wang, Yang Jian
14:57:43 <bryan_att> #info Bryan will send the earlier note about model testing to the list for followup - it's a part of the test scenarios proposed
14:58:08 <bryan_att> #info trevor_intel: let's clarify what as a community we are providing thru the plugfest
14:58:37 <bryan_att> #info binhu: we need to clarify the scope by publishing detailed testplans by some milestone
14:58:43 <DanSmithEric> just commentary - but +1 to trevor and dave neary - i am confused between the two comments from both guys
14:59:11 <DanSmithEric> one sounds like we are bringing HW and installing OPNFV b release in the 5 installers and then do test on it and come up with measurements
14:59:31 * bryan_att may not have captured their points well - any clarifications are welcome
14:59:35 <DanSmithEric> and then there is another viewpoint that seems like weare thinking there is a provided setup of infrastructure/ platform for peope to come and integrate on
14:59:39 <DanSmithEric> very confusiong
14:59:48 <DanSmithEric> thx forh hoping in bryan_att
14:59:59 <DanSmithEric> for hoping*
15:00:14 * bryan_att can take minutes going forward - I think it will help
15:00:43 <bryan_att> #info dneary: what can we get done by next week?
15:01:17 <DanSmithEric> i can help as well - since for me im happy to do either or - if we want infra to do vnf intergration (or other strap on components - VNF-M, etc) then great
15:01:35 <dneary> I was hoping we would get an answer to that question, bryan_att
15:01:38 <bryan_att> #info trevor's slides will be put on the wiki with an etherpad link for further input
15:01:48 <DanSmithEric> if we want to have what we just released deployed on some targeted HW models (like HDS) and that is a target then i would like to see that happen as well
15:02:38 <bryan_att> #info dneary asks specifically what we intend to complete by next week
15:03:18 <bryan_att> #info Ray Nugent: an RSVP list, HW specifics, ...
15:04:17 <bryan_att> #info Bryan suggests to also collect test scenarios by next week
15:04:35 <bryan_att> #info hongbo: we have asked for input but with little response so far
15:04:44 * bryan_att shame on us...
