Meeting summary

    1. Bryan Sullivan (bryan_att, 16:11:16)
    2. acm = Al Morton (acm, 16:11:56)
    3. Maryam has logged a ticket with helpdesk to get Jira project up (bryan_att, 16:14:43)
    4. ... will discuss Jira role in the governance model later (bryan_att, 16:15:07)
    5. ... (goes into it now instead of later) sharing screen of email re feedback on roles (bryan_att, 16:16:55)
    6. ... describes roles per email (bryan_att, 16:18:19)
    7. Michael - any objection to proceeding with the proposed roles for now? (bryan_att, 16:18:48)
    8. bryan suggests that the info from the email be on the wiki to make it easier to find and review (bryan_att, 16:21:12)
    9. bryan suggests that the roles and governance proposal be bubble up to TSC for discussion, and potential wider adoption as consensus in OPNFV (bryan_att, 16:32:35)
    10. Michael requests info on BGS (bryan_att, 16:33:16)
    11. Chris provided an update, with considerations about the host OS and how internal components might affect the performance results (bryan_att, 16:35:05)
    12. Michael notes that OS choice will have an impact on CI and some test dependencies may not be supported - some tests not available (bryan_att, 16:35:56)
    13. (caller) we should be able to do the vswitch work in an OS-independent way - maybe start with one particular OS, but with the goal for CI of not having an OS dependency, and fixing issues that arise as they do (bryan_att, 16:37:36)
    14. ... should we decide which OS we will start with, e.g. Fedora or Ubuntu? (bryan_att, 16:38:32)
    15. mtahhan no objections to either (bryan_att, 16:38:55)
    16. (caller) can we go with Ubuntu 14.04 (bryan_att, 16:39:40)
    17. Chris says maybe we should start with CentOS (bryan_att, 16:40:46)
    18. +1 from bryan (bryan_att, 16:40:58)
    19. (caller) the vswitch work should be OS/distro-independent (bryan_att, 16:41:41)
    20. questions on why this project is dependent upon BGS (bryan_att, 16:44:43)
    21. michael some of the tests we develop will be valid for the CI project and also picked up by the Qtip project (bryan_att, 16:45:35)
    22. mtahhan need consensus on what format documents will be in (bryan_att, 16:46:00)
    23. https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchPerfTestSpec (mtahhan, 16:46:27)
    24. some comments on keeping it simple, and using e.g. HTML for formatted text (bryan_att, 16:48:31)
    25. mtahhan prefers markdown as it's supported elsewhere and easily exportable to HTML (bryan_att, 16:48:55)
    26. bryan suggest to keep it simple. markdown is OK with me, also plain text. (bryan_att, 16:49:23)
    27. bryan suggests if the intent is that the docs live in git, to be easily usable there needs to be a way to view them e.g. in a browser ala github pages. Alternatively if we are taking a pure code collaboration style approach then just using local tools to view (from a clone) is fine. (bryan_att, 16:55:37)
    28. discussion about hardware requirements of the testbed, e.g. NICs (bryan_att, 16:58:16)
    29. mtahhan suggests we pick a proposal and go with it, e.g. 10 gig cards (bryan_att, 16:58:44)
    30. don suggests that we want to be platform agnostic in the long term but we need to start with stakes now (bryan_att, 16:59:31)
