15:31:46 <trinaths> Lets continue our discussion.
15:32:50 <trinaths> Srini_:  hope you are preparing the presentation for thursday technical call.
15:33:03 <Srini_> I will be doing it today.
15:33:27 <Srini_> Do you have any template that people normally use?
15:33:49 <trinaths> ok.
15:34:03 <trinaths> No, it can any template, You can use intel once
15:34:07 <trinaths> one*
15:34:12 <Srini_> Okay.
15:34:43 <Srini_> I guess I need to provide 'asks'/'recommendation' slide to make it clear what we are asking for.
15:34:51 <trinaths> yes.
15:35:15 <Srini_> We are asking for creation of repository.
15:35:21 <trinaths> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/meetings/Release+Planning
15:35:30 <Srini_> What are the typical questions that we need to be prepared for?
15:35:33 <trinaths> please check the above link
15:35:48 <trinaths> August 21st. with my name tagged.
15:36:07 <trinaths> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/PROJ/Weekly+Technical+Discussion
15:36:14 <trinaths> and this too. with my name tagged.
15:36:40 <trinaths> In the last meeting they asked me about the commitment of merging the changes to OVN Master branch.
15:37:13 <Srini_> Ok. So, we will provide information on plans to merge these into OVN repositories.
15:37:14 <trinaths> The opnfv team is not confident enough to host a forked repo and working on it
15:37:30 <Srini_> I understand.
15:37:41 <trinaths> yes. we have to provide and convince them that all changes will go to master.
15:37:47 <trinaths> once the PoC is successful.
15:37:55 <Srini_> So, there are no source code related projects in OPNFV
15:38:02 <trinaths> no.
15:38:10 <trinaths> Its just an Open Platform
15:38:23 <Srini_> Okay.
15:38:42 <trinaths> but relate how this work can help opnfv and onap.
15:38:43 <Srini_> Does the charter of OPNFV allow source code projects?
15:39:41 <trinaths> no source code projects. Since OVN-K8S Joid installer plugin itself is developed in external git and used in scenarios
15:40:44 <trinaths> they are afraid if we start a fork project and do the development OVS community guys may have negative impact on the subproject.
15:40:52 <Srini_> Is this external GIT hosted by LFN? Or is it normal github?
15:42:09 <trinaths> since, OVS is now into LF stadium, have OVN as forked one may not fit - as per David suggestion
15:42:19 <trinaths> no external GIT is not hosted by LF
15:42:33 <trinaths> also, how you are planning CI/CD for OVN development ?
15:43:12 <trinaths> What will be the effort required from OPNFV XCI team ?
15:43:24 <Srini_> We have not thought about it much. But, we do have OPNFV labs and we have people working on OPNFV. I need to ask them. But, first I want to get clarity on whether OPNFV is right place.
15:43:51 <trinaths> How will on going work of OVN-Master repo is merged to forked repo to be in sync with ongoing fixes and developments ?
15:44:09 <Srini_> Based on what I am hearing today is that this would be first and there are many concerns from OPNFV team.
15:44:19 <trinaths> true said.
15:44:54 <Srini_> Okay. Now that Bin confirmed, I will anyway go ahead and present and see how it goes.
15:45:07 <trinaths> ok
15:45:45 <trinaths> also, we need to showcase the benefit OPNFV and ONAP will get with this work.
15:45:57 <Srini_> BTW, our intention is not to fork OVN. Rather create a new repo for K8S to interact with OVN for networing applications, similar to what they did to integrate with Openstack.
15:46:22 <Srini_> Who normally join the architecture meetings?
15:46:49 <trinaths> ok. But how will you create a new OVN repo without forking ?
15:47:11 <trinaths> Bin, David, TSC team and interested individuals
15:48:09 <trinaths> as per intention too, we need to address
15:48:28 <trinaths> 1. what is proposed architecture/Usecase/PoC
15:48:38 <trinaths> 2. What help is required for OPNFV projects ?
15:48:53 <Srini_> OVS project has many repositories including OVN, Openstack-OVN, K8S-OVN etc...  Intention is to create have new repository (not in OVS, but in OVN4NFV) to integrate K8S with OVN for data plane applications.
15:48:55 <trinaths> 3. How testing of the new PoC/usecase is taken care ?
15:49:39 <trinaths> 4. How will OPNFV will be impacted with new changes ? I mean the objectives of the commuity.
15:49:55 <Srini_> Okay. good outline.
15:50:10 <trinaths> 5. How XCI need to be involved into this subproject.
15:50:31 <Srini_> I don't know much about XCI.  I will defer that discussion.
15:50:45 <trinaths> 6. What is the intention to have new repo in OPNFV rather than OVS itself ?
15:51:12 <trinaths> 7. is this idea discussed with OVS community before ? if so what was the discussion?
15:51:44 <trinaths> 8. How can you support this project at ONAP with collaboration with OPNFV ?
15:51:48 <Srini_> We did not discuss with OVS community as we felt that OVN4NFV project is created mainly for this kind of scenarios.
15:52:09 <trinaths> true said, OVN4NFV is created for this kind of scenarios.
15:52:31 <trinaths> but we need to be ready with all sort of above queries from community
15:53:07 <Srini_> More I hear, I guess OPNFV may not be right place. It appears that OPNFV is pure integration project.
15:53:18 <trinaths> +2
15:53:21 <Srini_> But, we will present anyway and find the right place.
15:53:46 <trinaths> true said.
15:54:15 <trinaths> may be a repo outside of OVN4NFV with PoC/Scenario inside OVN4NFV
15:54:33 <Srini_> Ok Trinath.  See you on Thursday.
15:54:45 <trinaths> sure sir.
15:54:56 <Srini_> Bye then.
15:55:01 <trinaths> bye.
