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

* Bryan Sullivan  (bryan_att, 16:11:16)
* acm = Al Morton  (acm, 16:11:56)
* Maryam has logged a ticket with helpdesk to get Jira project up
  (bryan_att, 16:14:43)
* ... will discuss Jira role in the governance model later  (bryan_att,
  16:15:07)
* ... (goes into it now instead of later) sharing screen of email re
  feedback on roles  (bryan_att, 16:16:55)
* ... describes roles per email  (bryan_att, 16:18:19)
* Michael - any objection to proceeding with the proposed roles for now?
  (bryan_att, 16:18:48)
* 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)
* 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)
* Michael requests info on BGS  (bryan_att, 16:33:16)
* Chris provided an update, with considerations about the host OS and
  how internal components might affect the performance results
  (bryan_att, 16:35:05)
* 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)
* (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)
* ... should we decide which OS we will start with, e.g. Fedora or
  Ubuntu?  (bryan_att, 16:38:32)
* mtahhan no objections to either  (bryan_att, 16:38:55)
* (caller) can we go with Ubuntu 14.04  (bryan_att, 16:39:40)
* Chris says maybe we should start with CentOS  (bryan_att, 16:40:46)
* +1 from bryan  (bryan_att, 16:40:58)
* (caller) the vswitch work should be OS/distro-independent  (bryan_att,
  16:41:41)
* questions on why this project is dependent upon BGS  (bryan_att,
  16:44:43)
* 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)
* mtahhan need consensus on what format documents will be in
  (bryan_att, 16:46:00)
* LINK: https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchPerfTestSpec  (mtahhan,
  16:46:27)
* some comments on keeping it simple, and using e.g. HTML for formatted
  text  (bryan_att, 16:48:31)
* mtahhan prefers markdown as it's supported elsewhere and easily
  exportable to HTML  (bryan_att, 16:48:55)
* bryan suggest to keep it simple. markdown is OK with me, also plain
  text.  (bryan_att, 16:49:23)
* 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)
* discussion about hardware requirements of the testbed, e.g. NICs
  (bryan_att, 16:58:16)
* mtahhan suggests we pick a proposal and go with it, e.g. 10 gig cards
  (bryan_att, 16:58:44)
* 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)



Meeting ended at 17:00:26 UTC.
