Meeting summary
---------------

* LINK: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/977976589  (debrascott,
  15:02:55)
* what went well/and not well, short list of where improvements need to
  be made  (debrascott, 15:05:30)
  * Fatih Degirmenci  (fdegir, 15:06:14)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/releases/brahmaputra/release_plan
    (debrascott, 15:06:57)
  * need to start earlier with project definition (whose participating)
    (debrascott, 15:07:51)
  * milestones A & B were to close together  (debrascott, 15:09:08)
  * some dependencies were unclear early on and needed to be clarified
    to all projects earlier  (debrascott, 15:11:45)
  * example: projects did not understand the need to create installer
    plugins until quite late  (debrascott, 15:12:18)
  * in some cases these were not a lack of planning but lack of
    visibility to new requirements with regard to supporting
    installation of new features.  (debrascott, 15:13:49)
  * tool chain & installer & pod processes were being developed at same
    time that feature projects needed to understand how to  work with
    them  (debrascott, 15:15:59)
  * should infrastructure & tool chain be run through a separate release
    process from feature integration & release work?  (debrascott,
    15:18:01)
  * CI toolchain is already separate from the release  (debrascott,
    15:20:03)
  * tool chain can be used because they are tagged by release but they
    are not part of the release itself  (debrascott, 15:21:35)
  * milestone C, need more detailed and better checklists  (debrascott,
    15:23:23)
  * example when do the plugins have to be done  (debrascott, 15:23:50)
  * need to allow more time in backend for testing and integration
    (debrascott, 15:24:15)
  * need earlier understanding of integration, deploy & test so things
    like scenario definition needs to be earlier  (debrascott, 15:25:34)
  * writing of code can be done in parallel or even after these
    definitions are completed  (debrascott, 15:26:55)
  * need to look after C-release regarding how it is working to have
    pre-upstreamed code included  (debrascott, 15:28:25)
  * need to enable more plugins, even for things that are not oss
    (debrascott, 15:28:53)
  * make sure we always use reproducable upstream code  (debrascott,
    15:31:53)
  * challenge aligning to upstream project development cycle
    (debrascott, 15:33:06)
  * need to pick baselines early  (debrascott, 15:33:25)
  * Trevor Cooper  (trevor_intel, 15:34:34)
  * need to define scenarios much earlier  (debrascott, 15:41:05)
  * identify which installler you intend to operate with  (debrascott,
    15:42:46)
  * have plugin for the installer ready by D: emphasise it  (debrascott,
    15:43:53)
  * need checklists for milestones to be clearer  (debrascott, 15:44:41)
  * pharos lab resources identified at milestone C  (debrascott,
    15:47:10)
  * need stable environments available for feature projects to use for
    dev, test, & integration work  (debrascott, 15:48:09)
  * need installers supporting consistent model  (debrascott, 15:48:24)
  * latest and stable need to be supported by projects so we know which
    branch that installers really work,  (debrascott, 15:50:19)
  * use “promotion” process to move installer stable up to where other
    projects use it knowing it is reliable  (debrascott, 15:51:37)
  * : separate checklists for each type of project earlier, notably
    intstallers are very different  (debrascott, 15:53:18)
  * what do we need to have functioning before freezing code?
    (debrascott, 15:56:56)
  * keep this at scenario level  (debrascott, 15:57:05)
  * project box based on scenarios  (debrascott, 15:58:00)
  * need to keep quality on master (today’s C relase)  (debrascott,
    15:59:41)
  * get CI process defined/communicated better  (debrascott, 16:01:24)
  * ACTION: Chris & Debra to draft proposal on C release criteria
    (debrascott, 16:01:55)
  * ACTION: Debra to set next meeting  (debrascott, 16:02:17)



Meeting ended at 16:02:31 UTC.
