Al,

I would encourage us to stop mentioning "Debt" everywhere.
It's quite disrespectful from the main (past and present) contributors and 
their companies.
Even more when it may come from external people (see FMO) who don't contribute 
code to the project and who somehow are unaware of the open source principle 
and workflows.

Then I would appreciate us to quickly draw the contour of all CNTT FMO and 
OPNFV TSC actions.
It's simply becoming impossible to contribute to OPNFV (and I would add CNTT 
too) due to:
 -  the huge amounts of meetings (and you're forced to follow all of them as 
they are no public review, no mailing list thread, the feedbacks are hardly 
taken into account)
 - many planning decisions fully disconnected from the constraints (holidays, 
releases, etc.)
 - external companies are now allowed to interfere with activities decided by 
the contributors and their companies (see new OPNFV release management and the 
traceability)
 - the demotivation created by them and an unclear future

I would ask the companies who suggest disruptive changes to OPNFV to commit 
human resources contributing code to OPNFV.
I can't support a kind of subcontracting model when you're deciding for others 
thanks to "special roles and votes".

We are rather losing the last developers very soon.
And lots of disruptive changes may not help here (Gerrit/Jenking migration to 
GitlabCI, hardware resources are moving out to LFN, etc.)

Hoping this email will be treated as opposed to all Functest announcements.
Allowing developer to work back is more than an urgency.

Objet : Re: [opnfv-tsc] LFN Governing Board outcome on the OPNFV-CNTT Merger

OPNFV,

Following the initial organizational meeting on Friday, I now ask for 
volunteers to serve on one of two new teams:

1. Organization/Governance - Definition of org structure, Interactions with 
OVP, cvc, TSC composition, Voting eligibility, Etc.

2. Technical/Debt/TSC - Operational aspects

Since the tasks for each team and their Scope have not yet been fully defined 
[0], please let me know (directly by e-mail) if you are willing to serve on one 
or both of these teams. I think we will need more sessions to clarify the scope 
of these two teams, so please bring your questions to the meeting next week, 
schedule to be announced.

thanks,
Al
TSC chair
