Hi OPNFV,
The Board met F2F for a full day, including a board-TSC joint session in the
morning, on Oct 28 coinciding with the Openstack Summit in Barcelona. Please
find a summary of the meeting below.
Cheers,
-Wenjing
-----
* End User Advisory Group (EUAG) report out: Steven Wright provided an
update from the EUAG as he discussed the current membership and areas of focus.
* Joint Board-TSC Discussions
* Project health & community metrics: Ray Paik provided an update on
on-going work with Bitergia (e.g. migration to Kibana-based dashboard,
Confluence/Jenkins tracking, OpenStack contributions tracking, etc.) plus a
discussion on sample Project Health Metrics data.
* Current state of MANO activities/projects: Bryan Sullivan presented
the current state of MANO in OPNFV including MANO-related projects that will be
participating in Danube and the evolution of OPNFV as the community starts to
move up the MANO stack.
* TSC activities and scope: Tapio Tallgren led the discussion on the
OPNFV Architecture as we enter the Year 3 of the Project. There was also a
discussion on creating an artifact after each release to document the growth of
scenarios, technical vision/priorities for future releases, etc. The TSC was
tasked to create an architecture framework and mapping of OPNFV release
scenarios into that framework. This artifact is intended to be a vehicle for
communicating OPNFV value and progress to the industry at large, as well as an
internal tool for verifying consistency with our goals.
* OPNFV's role in fostering synergies across LF networking projects:
Chris Price & Frank Brockners discussed opportunities to optimize resources
(e.g. infrastructure, staffing) across projects such as fd.io, OPNFV,
OpenDaylight, etc.
* Certification & Compliance (C&C) Committee update: Chris Donley
provided an update on the Certification/Verification Program (CVP) and there
was a consensus on the importance and timeliness of CVP, and on the need to
work with the TSC, Dovetail, and Test Working Group to get more clarity on the
testing framework, and to align with the architecture work to further clarify
on what is being validated or being designated as compliant. The Board asked
C&C to report back during the December meeting.
* Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) Update: Prodip Sen led a discussion
on SPC's work to-date and how SPC should move forward. There was a consensus
that strategic discussions will take place with the entire Board and there is
no need to continue SPC as a formal Board committee at this time.
* Recap of meeting with the OpenStack Board: There was a recap from the
joint meeting with OpenStack Board. Discussion topics ranged from
collaboration between the two communities, future releases, upcoming OpenStack
Summit & Project Teams Gathering.
* Discussion on OPNFV value & goals for member companies: There was a
discussion on next focus areas for OPNFV now that the Project has been
successfully established. There was a consensus that a framework that can be
communicated to the technical community will be helpful in terms of providing a
better context for OPNFV activities.
* Membership engagement/business development: There was a good
discussion on ways to encourage more engagement from End User & Silver members
of OPNFV.
* Future Board meetings: There will be a survey of Board members to get
feedback on how to improve future Board meetings.
