13:07:32 <bh526r> #info David M introduced background - Steven W chaired EUAG and listed priorities from end user perspective
13:07:44 <bh526r> #info pain points
13:08:08 <bh526r> #info One of top pain points is reference VNFs
13:08:24 <bh526r> #info Meanwhile, SampleVNF project is approved
13:09:09 <bh526r> #info David M communicated with Deepak S and Kannan regarding using SampleVNF to support reference VNFs pain points
13:09:49 <bh526r> #info Deepak S asked if there is a deployment scenario that needs to be supported?
13:10:40 <bh526r> #info David M indicated that it needs Steven W's input in terms of deployment scenario
13:12:28 <bh526r> #info Deepak asked if there are specific VNFs Steven W is looking for
13:12:55 <bh526r> #info David M explained that Steven W might just want the catalog work to get started
13:15:15 <dmcbride> #info Deepak asks if there is a detailed list of VNFs
13:15:28 <bh526r> #info Bryan S indicated that EUAG group might not have prioritized anything yet. Everything on the list is subject to further discussion, and further work
13:17:45 <dmcbride> #info bryan_att questions requirement for "production-quality"
13:20:32 <bh526r> #info SampleVNF is not targeted for "production-ready" VNF
13:20:58 <bh526r> #info while EUAG requires "production-ready" VNFs
13:21:26 <dmcbride> #info will all reference VNFs be open source?
13:21:28 <bh526r> #info The question is if there is a match to use SampleVNF project to address EUAG requirement
13:22:24 <bh526r> #info Another question is if "production-quality" is really EUAG requirement
13:22:42 <bh526r> #info David M takes action to confirm with Steven W
13:23:40 <bh526r> #action dmcbride confirms with Steven W if "production-quality" is EUAG requirement or not
13:27:01 <dmcbride> #info dneary says that any VNF in the catalog should be freely available and useable without restriction
13:32:32 <morgan_orange> dneary: dmcbride in first step we consider only Open Source VNF for the catalog (I also precise that the catalog is the work of an intern, there are still lots of work..we planned to include this work into samplVnf project
13:34:00 <dneary> morgan_orange, Thanks for the detail
13:34:17 <jose_lausuch> http://ec2-34-210-8-241.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/
13:34:35 <dneary> #info dmcbride clarifies that his goal is to satisfy the EUAG pain point looking for a list of VNFs - he sees the SampleVNF as potentially a good owner of the list
13:35:16 <Julien-zte> #info Julien
13:35:38 <dneary> #info dneary clarifies that SampleVNF is subject to OPNFV licensing rules - they could add VNFs under open source licenses other than Apache v2 but would need an exception, but there is nothing preventing them from collecting a list of VNFs.
13:37:11 <dneary> #info The concern voiced by bryan_att was to avoid a situation where this list means something (eg. VNFs tested by OPNFV on our infrastructure) - running and testing proprietary VNFs could bring us down a slippery slope - but the team should be able to maintain a list of VNFs without restriction
13:37:48 <dneary> Nice jose_lausuch

13:41:04 <morgan_orange> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/VNF+Catalogue
13:44:07 <dmcbride> #info bryan_att says that first paragraph falls outside the scope of simply having a catalog of VNFs.  MANO problem.
14:01:11 <Julien-zte> hi morgan_orange, who is working on VNF+Catalogue, in which project?
