16:11:56 <acm> #info acm = Al Morton
16:12:13 <bryan_att> did someone do the #startmeeting yet? joioned late
16:12:58 <collabot`> bryan_att: Error: Can't start another meeting, one is in progress.  Use #endmeeting first.
16:13:10 <bryan_att> that was easy
16:14:43 <bryan_att> #info Maryam has logged a ticket with helpdesk to get Jira project up
16:15:07 <bryan_att> #info ... will discuss Jira role in the governance model later
16:16:55 <bryan_att> #info ... (goes into it now instead of later) sharing screen of email re feedback on roles
16:18:19 <bryan_att> #info ... describes roles per email
16:18:48 <bryan_att> #info Michael - any objection to proceeding with the proposed roles for now?
16:21:12 <bryan_att> #info bryan suggests that the info from the email be on the wiki to make it easier to find and review
16:29:22 <cdub> where is this etherpad?
16:29:43 <bryan_att> i'll see if its on the wiki
16:29:49 <cdub> i don't have any details
16:29:56 <cdub> and i can't see to get through on audio
16:30:36 <bryan_att> no indication on the wiki of an etherpad
16:31:13 <bryan_att> have you tried https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/142808293
16:31:21 <cdub> yes, i'm in there twice
16:31:58 <bryan_att> sorry - maybe try dialing in
16:32:35 <bryan_att> #info bryan suggests that the roles and governance proposal be bubble up to TSC for discussion, and potential wider adoption as consensus in OPNFV
16:33:16 <bryan_att> #info Michael requests info on BGS
16:35:05 <bryan_att> #info Chris provided an update, with considerations about the host OS and how internal components might affect the performance results
16:35:56 <bryan_att> #info Michael notes that OS choice will have an impact on CI and some test dependencies may not be supported - some tests not available
16:37:36 <bryan_att> #info (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
16:38:32 <bryan_att> #info ... should we decide which OS we will start with, e.g. Fedora or Ubuntu?
16:38:55 <bryan_att> #info mtahhan no objections to either
16:39:40 <bryan_att> #info (caller) can we go with Ubuntu 14.04
16:40:46 <bryan_att> #info Chris says maybe we should start with CentOS
16:40:58 <bryan_att> #info +1 from bryan
16:41:41 <bryan_att> #info (caller) the vswitch work should be OS/distro-independent
16:44:43 <bryan_att> #info questions on why this project is dependent upon BGS
16:45:35 <bryan_att> #info michael some of the tests we develop will be valid for the CI project and also picked up by the Qtip project
16:46:00 <bryan_att> #info mtahhan need consensus on what format documents will be in
16:46:27 <mtahhan> #link https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchPerfTestSpec
16:46:35 <mtahhan> just so it's in the minutes
16:46:37 <cdub> mtahhan: thank you!
16:48:31 <bryan_att> #info some comments on keeping it simple, and using e.g. HTML for formatted text
16:48:55 <bryan_att> #info mtahhan prefers markdown as it's supported elsewhere and easily exportable to HTML
16:49:23 <bryan_att> #info bryan suggest to keep it simple. markdown is OK with me, also plain text.
16:51:35 <cdub> i think they'd live in git repo
16:52:44 <cdub> +1 ;)
16:55:37 <bryan_att> #info 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.
16:58:16 <bryan_att> #info discussion about hardware requirements of the testbed, e.g. NICs
16:58:44 <bryan_att> #info mtahhan suggests we pick a proposal and go with it, e.g. 10 gig cards
16:59:31 <bryan_att> #info don suggests that we want to be platform agnostic in the long term but we need to start with stakes now
