Sounds like we will not have time, but... 14:05:25 Thanks (that was my suggestion) 14:05:32 #info chrispriceab proposes o skip the 3.0 update 14:05:43 #info also want to introduce bramwelt additional sys admin resource helping Aric 14:06:04 #info Julien 14:06:46 #info trevor bramwelt introduces himself as an LF infrastructure resource working with our community 14:07:00 #topic Wiki post-mortem 14:07:26 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=6817397 post morten link 14:09:19 #info GeraldK adds that few people have added feedback on the wiki postmortem, more feedback could be valuable 14:09:30 #info dneary agrees 14:09:41 There have been 4 different contributors to the page: https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpreviousversions.action?pageId=6817397 14:10:01 let those who feel strongly convey their feelings, and consider those in the next time this happens (if ever). but I would not spend a lot of cycles on it. 14:10:10 #info how long should we open the feedback for? another few weeks? 14:10:17 #action rpaik to send a reminder to the list to provide input on the wiki migration activity. 14:10:54 #info dneary proposes a real time call to discuss the wiki migration debrief 14:12:04 #info +1 bryan_att 14:12:35 finding a timeslot will always be a challenge 14:12:44 esp. between 6-9am PT 14:12:45 #action dneary to set up a call for wiki post mortem activities. 14:13:15 #topic Colorado planning and activities 14:13:27 bryan_att, My concerns with wiki only are you end up with things like "we need to plan better" which are non-specific, and non-actionnable 14:13:37 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Colorado colorado planning page 14:13:41 At some point you need to dig down to root cause analysis 14:13:55 #info MS2 passed last friday and David has been woring with PTL's to secure planning for Colorado 14:14:04 And doing it on a wiki page doesn't het keep the tone non-accusatory 14:14:04 #undo 14:14:04 Removing item from minutes: 14:14:21 #info MS2 passed last friday and David has been working with PTL's to secure planning for Colorado 14:14:34 dneary, bryan_att: as an aside, I think there will be future infrastructure changes, and also agree we need to action this into a general process for change 14:14:54 #info David reported that where most projects were red on colrado planning that is now reduced to around 20-30% of projects. 14:14:55 dneary: I don't feel responsible to tease out actionable ideas from unspecific concerns; those who have the concerns should follow thru with useful concrete ideas to address them; same as blueprints vs code 14:15:05 #info input continues to come in from projects who are working on planning 14:15:44 where can we see the project matrix with the color code? 14:16:06 #info Colorado timelines are under discussion, many projects assume feature freeze leading up to june/july 14:16:09 dneary: the next time a similar activity is required, we look back at the wiki and plan accordingly. 14:16:30 #info the testing project indicate we need between 12-16 weeks post freeze (including integration/test/docs) to complete the release. 14:16:57 Anyone know if Bin is planning on running the tech discuss meeting this week? I see he is on vacation 14:17:44 bryan_att, The whole point of post mortems is that the people who feel the pain don't necessarily have insight into how to relieve it - you need both sides 14:17:52 #action dmcbride to send an updated matrix to the tech discuss list once published. 14:18:04 If either the people who did the migration or the people who had issues with it are not engaged, it goes nowhere 14:19:14 #topic Colorado test coordination and planning 14:19:34 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Colorado+Testing+-+Discussion+and+Proposals test project and activity analysis wiki 14:20:00 dneary: I don't mean to devalue post mortems, just in my scheme of priority they don't match progress on R3 - but feel free to drive it 14:20:17 #info trevor_intel outlines the expansion of test project and scenario growth creates a challenge for the testing teams to coordinate criteria across a release activity. 14:20:32 bryan_att, No point in driving an empty bus... 14:20:49 #info trevor_cooper adds that projects should look to contribute to the test projects which would be reported and documented in a common and consistent manner. 14:21:14 bryan_att, My main concern is that we don't let old woulds fester until next time. "it's past, we can ignore it now" doesn't work. 14:21:34 #info this provides a clearer method for projects to understand how to participate as part of a release, rather than as seperate project test activities 14:22:22 #info fdegir adds that there is a need to reduce overlap and focus our efforts to maximise the effectiveness of our efforts to validate and prove the platform. 14:23:21 so are the overall issues that are being expressed for testing documented somewhere, so we can address the concerns over value, reasonableness, resources, etc? 14:24:20 #info fdegir adds that we should focus on what we are testing rather than the seperate testing projects in order to better facilitate a coordinated effort 14:24:45 bryan_att U htink that is what trevor_intel and team are working on 14:24:54 s/U/I 14:25:08 can the specific issues with the diversity of test focus in QTIP and Yardstick be explained as well? 14:26:02 #info frankbrockners asks how to move forward with this, fdegir answers that the test project PTL's should drive this forward. 14:27:50 perhaps if it's not clear (it should be), add a note prior to the table "Matrix of Features versus Test Projects" on the nature/focus of the test project. Then the feature project can determine if there is some value in targeting the test project (but I would this this would already be done as R3 planning...). 14:28:14 s/this this/think this/ 14:30:52 #topic Dedicated mailing lists and dedicated GTM accounts for projects 14:31:27 #info frankbrockners indicates the fast data project needs a dedicated mailing list for it's project team. 14:31:49 #info do we need similar mailing list for other upstream communites? 14:31:54 #undo 14:32:01 do we need similar mailing list for other upstream communites? 14:32:27 or should we even re-think our mailing lists in general? 14:32:57 I can tell you that there has been very little enthusiasm in the ODL community to joining opnfv-tech-discuss and tagging with opendaylight 14:33:19 we should per se not have separate mailing lists for projects 14:33:24 It has not been an effective way to get to people - I end up cross-posting to upstream lists, which kind of defeats the purpose 14:33:38 only for specific needs like requested here 14:34:35 There has been no single place where OPNFV and ODL developers who care about NFV have been able to talk 14:34:59 +1 to specific exceptions 14:35:47 having multiple mailing lists is a bad idea generally. mail tools provide plenty of control to avoid what you don't care about 14:36:27 but in this case a separate list, if needed, would be OK to me. 14:37:05 one point on the security-list, we need this for gerrit code reviews..please don't take it away :-/ 14:37:18 but the basic question I have is if this is an OPNFV project, why can't it use the OPNFV list exclusively? Because the people on the list might get bothered by the OPNFV traffic? 14:37:20 or rather not reviews, tags 14:37:28 how about slack channels? 14:37:48 lhinds: not my intent - there are valid use cases for separate lists, I agree 14:38:18 bryan_att, thanks 14:39:00 #startvote Does the TSC approve as an exception a dedicated email list for the FDS project.

Results are 14:40:17 0 (8): GeraldK, TapioT, cgoncalves, tnadeau__, bryan_att, Julien-z_, uli-k, edgarstp 14:40:17 +1 (3): dneary, ChrisPriceAB, frankbrockners 14:40:25 again, why are we voting for this? the abstention is a good indication of that. :P 14:40:25 #vote +1 14:40:32 Trevor voting for Brian 14:40:41 And avoiding a dangerous precedent where the TSC doesn't vote on things like this 14:41:02 * bryan_att wonders where robert is when you need him 14:41:07 0 == abstain 14:41:27 #agree the TSC agrees to create the mailing list 14:42:13 should we try getting a couple more GTM accounts? 14:42:21 gchat for any smaller meeting? 14:42:42 works for up to ten ppl or so if video is turned off 14:42:48 aricg-, block in some places :( 14:42:59 we need a scheduling meeting, in which we figure out: how many parallel meetings we want; who can go when; document this on the wiki for clarity 14:43:09 #info frankcbrockers outline issues with coordinating GTM sessions across the project 14:43:09 *blocked 14:43:23 why not one account for official topics (tsc, planning, etc) and second one for projects 14:43:40 #info rpaik outlines that he has budgeted for more GTM accounts. 14:43:48 we have a meetings page where we could make sure that this is documented 14:44:15 https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/meetings/Meetings 14:44:29 Some events were not shown in the calendars below because there were too many of them :( 14:44:52 we need to have consistent reminders for organizers to not start meetings prior to the expected starting times. 14:45:05 aricg-: we need to fix that - the table is largely unusable as a result. we can format it better. 14:45:06 aricg-: that means there are too many in the future to display all meetings months in advance 14:45:24 mbeierl: ahh, 14:45:26 we don't need calendar integration if that feature obscures the real data 14:45:36 #info can we use static calendar just like before. everytime I open the Meeting page, it cause my browser down 14:45:38 it does not mean that the current week or month is lacking info 14:46:03 Not webex please 14:46:07 No linux support 14:46:24 Nothing personal, just I can't use it 14:47:03 bluejeans? 14:47:15 x-platform, and works well 14:47:19 We should ask the Chinese government to stop blocking Google so that we can use Google hangouts. 14:47:26 #action rpaik to propose a solution to the conference infrastructure on the list and invest in additional accounts as needed 14:47:28 yes, whatever we use has to be cross-platform and accessible in all countries, and if possible inside corp proxies 14:47:37 # +1 dneary 14:48:00 meeting cutoff at the full hour I don't see the major problem, but organizers starting the meeting 10minutes early are a problem 14:48:06 lhinds, It works sometimes on Android 14:48:10 #topic Board dialogs from the Collaboration Summit 14:48:13 Which, I hear, is Linux 14:48:58 mbeierl: the meetings page used to have a table - that's what I was referring to. I thought there was one in the new wiki but I see now there's list a list. That's OK, but I think we need a quick tabular overview of the week so projects can consider where they might fit in for scheduling. 14:49:01 https://www.webex.de/support/support-system-requirements.html works with Linux + FF 14:50:05 otherwise some meeting scheduling tool that allows projects to reserve timeslots, and block reservations as needed 14:50:10 GeraldK, dneary , it was the my rooms / jabber client stuff I had issues with. Must be that plain webex is ok 14:50:27 * bryan_att generally though does not prefer new tools 14:50:29 bryan_att: The table is still at the bottom, just fed from live calendar. I see ChrisPriceAB added the test list to the sidebar 14:50:44 another possible is we host a mumble server, create as many channels as we like, and you can bind dial in numbers 14:50:47 bryan_att: btw, the table was horribly out of date in the old wiki too 14:50:50 open source too 14:50:52 stackanalytics? 14:51:01 bryan_att: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/meetings/calendar/8d315bbd-158a-42c1-83e2-dea8b27a6c4f?calendarName=OPNFV%20Team%20Meetings 14:51:11 i will mention that ODL has spectrometer 2.0 underway. we're rewriting it so its portable and could be consumed by opnfv 14:51:25 bryan_att: is this is what you where looking for? 14:51:43 mbeierl: agreed - one of the issues with this. no easy solution. the table at the bottom doesn't show all the meetings thus it's marginally useful to me. 14:52:02 ChrisPriceAB: So I guess we are going to talk community metrics 14:52:13 bryan_att: what meetings are missing? I added all of them from the text of the page 14:52:37 if people aren't maintaining that, then that is the root cause 14:52:49 The link gives a message "Some events were not shown in the calendars below because there were too many of them" 14:53:19 #info mbeierl, the live table cause my browser down again and again, can we use static table ? 14:53:32 ljlamers, i also noticed that. i fully agree, we have too many meetings 14:53:34 #topic Upcoming board meeting TSC report 14:53:45 ljlamers_: was just discussed - the calendar does not show the events months and months in advance. The current month does not hide any meetings 14:53:47 ok, it looks like they are there in the page GeraldK linked. maybe it's just the amount of info listed for each project meeting, that fills the table content too much; more brief info/links would be more useful (to me) 14:53:50 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/download/attachments/2925933/opnfv_board_meeting_tsc_april_2016.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1460460438439&api=v2 proposed preliminary board deck 14:54:26 Julien-z_, let me propose not to use the INFO tag for offline discussions like this. 14:54:58 #GeraldK good 14:55:08 ChrisPriceAB: The only additional thing I wanted to raise on this call was what questions we want metrics to answer, and what actions we want to incent. My preference is task/blueprint/patch level measurements rather than measuring the entirity of activity of individuals, but that's just because I think it provides better data. 14:55:20 (that is, re metrics) 14:55:38 Julien-z_: I did not put the live text on the side, so it's not my place to remove it. 14:56:14 Julien-z_: does this page bog down your browser? https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/meetings/calendar/8d315bbd-158a-42c1-83e2-dea8b27a6c4f?calendarName=OPNFV%20Team%20Meetings 14:56:27 #info yea, actually 14:56:56 #info I hope this use the old style as a static table 14:56:59 on the lab-aas, I am continuing to develop on Ravello. It may not be workable for CI/CD but it certainly is workable for testing based upon a snapshotted deploy. And until other options arise, it's the only one in town. 14:57:11 where is the Lab as a service wiki 14:57:13 bryan_att: we basically ticked off ravello 14:57:27 it does not work 14:58:00 #info link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Laas 14:58:02 evaluated options are: google compute engine, amazon ec2, microsoft azure, ravello, rackspace 14:58:29 all but rackspace have been evaluated and deemed as not viable 14:58:38 rackspace evaluation is starting up 14:58:44 fdegir: ok, that's their problem. If they can't support a use case then boohoo. But I still plan to challenge them to be a useful cloud-based lab tool (for some purposes) until they fail me, or some better option arises. 14:58:57 they failed us :) 14:59:04 they haven't been able to answer 14:59:07 #Topic AoB 14:59:14 their hvm does not work 14:59:29 #endmeeting
