    5. Fatih summarized what we discussed 2 weeks ago (bh526r, 13:06:23)
    6. Fatih showed us the proposal of stable track v.s. latest track, and the sequence of miletsones (bh526r, 13:07:11)
    7. Fatih indicated that there is not much different between 2 tracks in terms of official OPNFV release (bh526r, 13:08:00)
    8. But latest track not only gives the benefit to projects, but also to users (bh526r, 13:09:44)
    9. Prakash asked what about scenarios (bh526r, 13:10:01)
    10. Fatih said that the scenarios will be brought to latest track in a simpler way (bh526r, 13:10:54)
    11. Fatih talked about why we need a new track (bh526r, 13:15:46)
    12. This is because (1) minimized impact to current development and release model (bh526r, 13:16:21)
    13. Fatih indicated that some initial resources are needed, including developer resources and hardware resources (bh526r, 13:23:24)
    14. The real benefit is not to reduce resource need, but to use the resources more properly (bh526r, 13:24:29)
    15. more extensive testing (bh526r, 13:24:53)
    16. David asked if feedback from test teams, Fatih said it is scheduled to talk with test teams on next Thursday (bh526r, 13:28:48)
    17. Fatih explained how to handle milestones in latest track, ie. milestones are built into this model and no longer needed explicitly (bh526r, 13:32:08)
    18. Fatih also explained how test projects can benefit from XCI, e.g. test can be against proven version of latest track, and/or use proven version of test framework/test cases (bh526r, 13:33:58)
    19. Ray asked when this will be kicked off. Does project need to declare to use stable track or latest track? (bh526r, 13:36:45)
    20. David clarified that Ray meant new projects. To some point, projects need to have a way to declare to participate in stable track or latest track (bh526r, 13:38:19)
    21. It doesn't seem an ideal way applicable to all projects. It depends on individual project itself, and upstream components (bh526r, 13:40:20)
    22. Randy has experimented SNAPS using latest track method (bh526r, 13:41:48)
    23. Randy shared his experience of benefit, and his team really liked it (bh526r, 13:42:54)
    24. Prakash asked Dovetail, and Fatih said open to test teams (bh526r, 13:45:16)
    25. Fatih also indicated to keep the bar at proper level, not too high and not too low (bh526r, 13:45:55)
    26. it will be discussed with test group next week (bh526r, 13:47:24)
    27. Fatih showed the plan, i.e. to ask TSC approval on Oct 10 and kick off experiment on Oct 10 (bh526r, 13:48:12)
    28. Group agreed that XCI is the right way to go, and benefit to OPNFV community by bring it to TSC for approval. So group agreed to the plan that Fatih presented. (bh526r, 13:53:44)
    29. Fatih will have another discussion with test teams, and will come back with the revised version, which will be the version to TSC, in a couple of weeks (bh526r, 13:54:23)
