    • Jonathan presents a rough schedule of activities for the next year (slide 4) 
    • Frank Brockners says that the F2F should be advertised to the world (dmcbride_, 13:53:40)
    • Jonathan says that the intention is to include as many stakeholders as possible. Ravi points out that the event may be limited by physical space.
    • Frank Brockners notes some similarities to the OPNFV Genesis project and understands the challenge of the task that CNTT is attempting.

    • David McBride notes that OPNFV does not have governance that supports the "umbrella" project described in the timeline in the presentation.  Perhaps this could be a work group, instead? Otherwise, the TSC may need to devise some supporting governance.
    • David McBride suggests adding another milestone, prior to the last milestone in the timeline, for a plugfest event to work on the CNTT reference platform implementation(s) that come out of the Iruya release.
  • TSC F2F at the LFN DDF+Plugfest on June 11, 3 p.m. (UTC+2), Room M3
    • David McBride says that TSC members attending the LFN DDF+Plugfest will meet f2f, in addition to the usual Zoom bridge.  The time will remain the same.

      • The "decision process" question was raised by Jack Morgan

    • David McBride  asked how to start new project? what is the plan? Will CNTT write a proposal? Staffing? 
      • Mark C clarified that we may need more discussion on that, e.g. resources.

    • The combination of both operators (e.g. Vodafone, Orange, AT&T) and OPNFV community resources

Minutes

  • Approval of minutes (Feb 26, Mar 5, Mar 12)
    • No comments - minutes approved
  • PM role
    • Phil Robb reviews status of PM/RM position in OPNFV and ONAP
    • Phil says that we have 3 PMs for 4 roles 
    • Phil asks for a list of high priority tasks for PM and RM in OPNFV 
    • Phil says that more tasks should be taken on by the community 
    • Frank Brockners OPNFV does not have a PM since Jun/23/2018, which is the day when Ray Paik left LF.
    • Frank Brockners By the end of 2018, ONAP was in need of a release manager, after a community member stopped serving as release manager.
    • Frank Brockners As part of the budget process with the LFN board, OPNFV has an allocation for 1 PM and 0.5 release manager. Per the board decision to reduce expenses, the LFN board decided to share the release manager between OPNFV and ONAP.
    • Frank Brockners Given that the ONAP community could not find a new release manager within the community, Phil Robb decided to dedicate Jim Baker to ONAP as release manager. Jim Baker started in January 2019 and is serving ONAP as a release manager as well as the OVP program since then.

    • Bin Hu asks TSC members to review link offline and share comments 
    • Manuel Buil raises the concern if perhaps OPX is difficult to integrate in OPNFV because it requires specific hardware or if maybe there is a full-software version that we could eventually use (mbuil, 13:43:53)
    • Manuel Buil asks about the relationship of OPX to OPNFV. 
      • Will additional hardware be required, for example. Will OPX integrate with OPNFV at all?

  • Emma Foley stepping down from TSC 
    • The TSC approves of an ad hoc election to fill the vacant seat.
    • David McBride says that nominations will begin today.  Will send an email to the mailing list.
  • Community election schedule
    • David McBride explains that the proposed schedule pulls the election schedule in by about 2 months in response to the TSC saying last year that the election process should not overlap with the budget process.  Since the term of 12 months is specified in the election process, the TSC needs to also vote to reduce the current term by 2 months.
    • The TSC approves reducing the current TSC term by approximately 2 months in order to avoid overlapping with budget discussions.
    • The TSC approves of the proposed schedule for community elections.
  • Release update
