On PDF, there have been communications with all Pharos lab owners although 4 lab owners have not been responsive.   Proposed final dates for PDF creation is April 15th and June 15th for installers to use PDF/IDF.  There were also good discussions on applicability of PDF/IDF to other communities and that PDF could be extended to other non-Pharos configurations in the future. Via IRC vote, the TSC approved the PDF spec 1.0 as mandatory baseline for CI in Pharos pods and the three staged introduction time plan.  
  • Releng graduation review: Fatih noted that Releng is the first infra project going through a graduation review and project has been a community-wide effort from the beginning.  There has been good progress on scaling CI, common tooling/utilities, and XCI.  Current focous is on CI evolution, 3rd party/dynamic CI, XCI framework/scenario on-boarding.  Going forward, there's a need to work on release process improvement, scenario consolidation, 3r party CI with fd.io, investigate new tools, etc.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved graduation of Releng as a mature project.
  • Release update: David McBride noted that MS6 was March 16th and there are still ~10 projects that have not met MS6 requirements as of today.  There's also an MS6 exception request from Clover.  David also discussed changes he wants to propose beginning with the H-release.  First, David wants to reduce the time following the OpenStack release for the OPNFV release and increase the time between MS3 and MS5. The proposal is to start the "intent to participate" to 2 weeks prior to OpenStack release and collapse MS3.1 and 3.2.  This may require dropping point release(s) for Gambia.  As time was running out, proposal is to communicate this further in the mailing list and potentially discuss at the next TSC meeting.

Agenda

Minutes: 

  • Previous minutes approved
  • Update on LFN certification & complaince discussion: Chris Donley summarized discussion on LFN-level compliance program and stated that the goal is to be responsive to individual technical communities, be transparent, share work across communities, etc.  There would be common legal framework, infra, tool chain, etc.  However, there would be differences in each community for test plans/tools and individual TSCs would be responsible for approving test content.  The LFN-level compliance committee would be responsible for the test framework.  Chris also added that there has already been collaboration between OPNFV and ONAP on using Dovetail's framework for VNF testing.  
  • Exemption from strict API validation in Dovetail/OVP: Georg shared additional attribute examples as a follow up from the last meeting.  Trevor Cooper added that the purpose of OVP is to test platform capabilities (vs. API compliance).  Exemption will be valid for 1 year and only two exemptions are possible per product.  Via IRC vote, the TSC approved he exemption process for strict API response validation in OVP.
  • Update on Strategic work items in TSC: Tim Irnich reviewed the current draft of the 2018 Goals page.  There was a good discussion on adding more details on upstream collaboration, new initiatives, etc.

Minutes: 

  • Previous minutes approved
  • Final check on TSC composition: There was a discussion on the TSC composition as summarized on the wiki page, and feedback from a number of people on election timeframe is to maintain the September schedule.  Ray has an action item to start working with the TSC to update the charter and come back to the TSC for a vote.
  • Exemption proposal in Dovetail for strict API validation: Georg noted that strict API validation topic has been discussed both within Dovetail team and the C&C committee.  This is related to validation in Tempest tests for Nova and the proposal is to allow Nova tests to pass if tested functionality is supported by relaxing the Strict API validation.  OpenStack had similar exemption process for about a year in 2016.  If approved, the Dovetail team will make this a service release of OVP 2018.01 and there's no proposal for an end date for the exemption process.  Georg took an action item to outline examples on the wiki or patch and will return to the TSC.
  • Strategic work items in TSC: There was a good discussion on items that have been added to the Etherpad and there were suggestions to add new items such as Edge Cloud and "OPNFV installer".  A comment was also made that there needs to be action/results beyond agreements.  The Etherpad will remain open, but a new wiki page will be created re-organize/summarize the information on the Etherpad.  
  • Release update: David McBride noted that MS5 was on March 2nd and overall there's been good compliance while he follows-up on a few scenarios.  MS6 is next Friday (March 16th) for preliminary documentation and test cases.  David also discussed pulling in MS7 (stable branch) a week and added that there has been no objections from the community (esp. installer teams).  The TSC agreed to pulling in MS7 to March 30th.
  • LF IT/Infra update: Trevor Bramwell noted that Jenkins plugin update completed last week and there are no planned maintenance.  
  • NFV Interoperability Certification Program: There was a discussion on the program and Wenjing added that MAC is aware of the program, but this is a "private" program among members.

Minutes: 

  • Previous minutes approved
  • TSC member backfill: Ray confirmed that a TSC member can propose an alternate/replacement that the TSC members can vote on if that's what TSC decides to do.  The TSC agreed to vote on an alternate TSC member proposed by Maryam for the remainder of her term.
  • OPNFV Verified Program (OVP) launch update: Chris Donley noted that the plan is to launch OVP on February 6th and beta participants are re-submitting their results.  Brandon added that one of the reasons for not launching this week is that there was a desire to space out news from the LFN launch last week.  Press release draft will be circulated among marketing plus C&C committee members and there will also be a blog post penned by Chris Donley.  Chris added that the community is in early stages of discussion regarding the "second release" for OVP
  • Release update: David McBride mentioned that MS3.2 (pass health check for sdn-based scenario) is this week and installer teams are on track for the milestone.  The next major milestone is MS5 (scenario integration) on March 2nd.
  • LF IT/infra update: Trevor Bramwell noted that that Jenkins server testing will continue this week.  There was also mailing list queues yesterday and this had been fixed (no mails have been lost).  Aric discussed the patch to easily identify PTLs from INFO files and that this will be discussed on Thursday's Technical Discussion call for community feedback.  The purpose of this is to only allow PTLs to update information on the TestAPI.
  • Update on Apex installer: Dave Neary discussed that Apex team would like to move towards XCI-like model (pointing to the tip of trunk) and had discussions with a number of PTLs plus David McBride.  There was a discussion that we're in the middle of the Fraser release cycle and there is a potential impact on the release.  A question was raised if the transition can wait until Fraser stable branch is cut (in case there's a big risk in moving from OpenStack Pike to Queen).  Tim Rozet added that Apex has the ability to deploy different versions of OpenStack and ODL. Versions can be supplied in the deploy settings file, and artifacts will be downloaded at deploy time from upstream. Also, upstream OpenStack Gerrit patches can be provided which will be automatically pulled in and applied during deployment.  A discussion ensued on a need to vote on a version of OpenStack (or other upstream components) for an OPNFV release.  A suggestion was made to the Apex team to come back to the TSC to report on impact to existing projects with a new approach.  In addition, there will be a separate/broader discussion on OPNFV releases going forward.
