Randy, Thanks for your presentation at the Open Contrail Users Group last week. Can you please post a public link to your slide deck for people who were unable to attend or who didn't take phone photos of every slide. Especially, the link to the Google Group needs to go out so that everyone on the Dev mailing list can sign up.
I have a list of potential topics for the first meeting of whatever forum you end up organizing. * Compiling Contrail from source - There has been a fair amount of discussion of this on the mailing list recently * Discussion of issues people are encountering * Build scripts * Prerequisites * Documentation of the build process * Due dates * An overview of current key dates in the process (blueprint, code complete, testing, documentation, beta, GA) * Discussion of any changes that might help contributors plan better * Dates for dates - set expectations on how and when the key dates for future releases will be set * Missed date management - discussion of how slipped dates for Juniper's GA release impact community development * Testing procedures * Discussion of how third party developers should expect to interact with Juniper during the time period between code freeze and beta and GA * Discussion of beta vs release candidate and whether there are process improvements needed in order to ensure that third party developers are able to catch and fix bugs in the features they are developing * Overview of test framework, not just unit tests but functional and full stack automated tests * Documentation * How are non-Juniper developers expected to deliver documentation for features that they develop? * When is documentation due? * Core reviewer / TSC / meetings * What are the expectations for a non-Juniper developer to become a core reviewer? * Does Contrail have anything equivalent to a Technical Steering Committee? * Are there any regularly scheduled meetings (e.g. on Slack/IRC or teleconference) for developers to sync up on progress of their changes, discuss code reviews, discuss bugs, etc * Build system problems - How can non-Juniper contributors effectively troubleshoot issues like this: https://jenkins.opencontrail.org/job/ci-contrail-vrouter-systest-ubuntu14-mitaka/480/console
