Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [opnfv-tsc] Red-lined TSC Charter Document

2018-04-10 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
The discussion hints at a problem that the current proposal in the red-lined 
TSC charter doc has:
The charter refers to a wiki page that anyone with an LF account ID is free to 
edit (remember the early days, where we had folks “changing” the content of 
project proposals post the project approval..)

IMHO we should use the contents of the wiki 
https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Community+Election+Procedure to create a pdf 
document which would then be posted on opnfv.org. The Charter should refer to 
that document instead of the wiki.
Thanks, Frank

Good catch Julien.  I used "organization" as TSC members could come from 
research institutions, universities, etc. that are not (for profit) companies.

If that is indeed the intent here, which I assume so, then we should revise the 
wiki text as soon as possible.

Another problem with the wiki section related to Chair election is its 
reference to the OPNFV By-Law
” (per section 5.5(b) of the OPNFV 
Bylaws)”.
That is no longer valid. We should refer to the OPNFV Technical Charter (or

All,

Please find attached red-lined TSC Charter document that reflects OPNFV's move 
to a merit-based TSC. The new text was heavily borrowed from OpenDaylight's 
Charter
 as they already migrated to a merit-based TSC.  The details on size, 
eligibility, election timing, etc. will be updated on the wiki if/when 
community decides to make any tweaks.

Please let me know if you have any questions/feedback.  The plan is to vote on 
this during the TSC meeting April 10th (after ~2 week review period).

Thanks,

Ray

Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [releng] Committer list per Releng repository

2017-12-11 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
Hi Fatih,

this was just a suggestion - mostly to keep Releng in line with what other 
projects do in OPNFV - the test-projects are probably the closest comparison 
here. 
I also don't think that there would not be much of a change: You'd have a 
Releng working group with several projects (those 5) participating, i.e. the 
structure would look much like what is done for testing.

Anyway - just do what the contributors and committers feel is best for Releng.

Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the feedback.

Splitting Releng is perhaps an option but I personally do not think it will add 
too much value. 
I believe support functions such as what Releng aims to provide is best handled 
as a whole rather than multiple individual projects.
This is important in order to ensure the project provides best service to the 
community and sub teams follow overall direction set by Infra WG in general and 
Releng Project in particular.

With that said, if any Releng committer comes up with a proposal to split 
Releng, resulting in multiple smaller projects, we can put these 2 proposals to 
vote and do accordingly.

Another thing I would like to highlight is that the proposed setup with 
subprojects/teams is pretty similar to how OpenStack Infra project works; top 
level Infra project and multiple sub teams that specialize in certain aspects 
of the infra. [1] We as project need to work on the details if this proposal is 
accepted and approved by the TSC. Until this happens, that link can give an 
idea regarding where we might end up. 

One last point is, Releng will probably not be the only one with this need. We 
are just the first one.

+1

Giving leaders of subproject the freedom to manage +2 rights on their own 
repository will be very helpful for ensuring patches are reviewed by those with 
the correct competencies and merged in a timely manner.

Perhaps having a 'mini-info' file in each repository would help track this, 
intead of expanding the current INFO file. Simple fields such as:
parent-project, project-name, creation-date, subproject-lead, committers, 
and parent-project-approval-link would work. This is merely a suggestion 
though, and a decision on this shouldn't block us from moving forward. I'm fine 
with things currently being added the INFO file.

Subject: [opnfv-tech-discuss] urgent euphrates git tags vote needed


I would like to get a quick vote from any person that works directly or 
indirectly with code in OPNFV

Please reply with -1, 0 +1

For using prefixed git tags for the Euphrates release: “opnfv-5.0.0”

This is a slight change to the plan on record (which was to use “5.0.0”). This 
does NOT impact euphrates deliverables for participating OPNFV projects (git 
tags on stable/euphrates are applied by releng).
The only externally visible effect is the naming of container tags for 
Euphrates official images in DockerHub will be named accordingly (e.g. 
“opnfv/functest:opnfv-5.0.0”).
Everything else remains the same.

If you’d like to know more, the rationale is described here: 
https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/releng/OPNFV+projects+and+OPNFV+release+versioning
 (thanks for Fatih, David, Frank, Tapio for reviewing)
In a nutshell, this adjustment is needed to prepare the path for proper 
continuous delivery support by projects.
Any clarification/questions/discussion can be done over email or at the TSC or 
release meetings tomorrow.

Thank You.

All:

Thanks for voting on the release naming poll.

First, for G-release the winner is Gambia (the first African river for OPNFV).

For the F-release, the top vote getter was Fenix in Argentina.  However, after 
some research it looks this is a tributary of another river 
(Deseado), and I wasn't able to 
find photos of Fenix River on the web (or even find it on Google Maps).

I talked to LF marketing colleagues as we've been using river images for 
release marketing, and they do have concerns about going with a river that is 
not well known.  The second choice was 
Fraser in Canada (the longest river 
in British Columbia) and I suggest going with Fraser as the F-release name.  
Although Fenix sounds cool, I think it's problematic if you can't find it on a 
map.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Bryan,

Thanks for raising an important point. IMHO 2 NICs are the minimal setup. This 
allows for performance focused setups (i.e. traffic enters on one NIC and 
leaves on another NIC), and it also allows for setups where you use the NICs 
for different purposes (e.g. dedicate a NIC to the kernel, and another one to 
VPP).

We can of course handle all three "types" of networks (admin, public, 
tenant/private) using VLAN/VLAN-ranges - but for some deployments a physical 
decoupling might ease things.

Per your suggestion: In order to allow for better flexibility, let's plan with 
3 NICs for now. We can always scale back in case there are budget constraints.

Lights-out-management is something that is often vendor specific - and it may, 
or may not require a dedicated port (IPMI 2.0 even runs over VLANs) - but as 
part of the requirements list, we should spell out that lights-out-management 
is something we absolutely require. I'll update the wiki accordingly.

Hi Cédric,

is there a way to have a per-scenario functest config file? We could have a 
default file, which we’d modify on a case by case basis. Note that e.g. only a 
subset of the scenarios use NetVirt, hence having Netvirt as a default 
testsuite probably won’t make sense.

Subject: RE: [OPNFV] ODL target Release for Euphrates

Hello,

I understand your point but Functest requires a default answer to finish the 
containers and to write the testcase config file (suites and dependencies on 
scenarii or installers).
Then we take the decision about the release (the last one seems fine) and if 
the NetVirt test suite is ran by default before the possible harmonization.
I would have thought it was an upper decision as for OpenStack.

Objet : RE: [OPNFV] ODL target Release for Euphrates

Hi Morgan,

it might well be that there is no one answer to your question – especially for 
those scenarios which are leading edge and actively drive development upstream 
(i.e. in ODL and HoneyComb). In addition, given the sister relationship between 
ODL and Honeycomb, model updates go hand in hand – which drive another version 
dependency.
For FDS, we plan for an effort similar to what we’ve done for Danube: Once 
we’re getting closer to the E-release, we’ll try to harmonize on a single 
version of ODL, i.e. we’ll try to harmonize on a pre-release version of 
Nitrogen – but for the time being, you’ll find different scenarios using 
different versions of ODL (sometimes even dedicated builds, e.g. as used for 
the GBP-Netvirt PoC or for the fdio-dvr scenario), also due to the fact that 
Karaf-4 migration isn’t yet done for all the components.

Hi,

I did not find the list of the target versions for the main components 
integrated in Euphrates version.
it would make sense to explicitely reference them on one of the wiki pages 
dedicated to the release https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Euphrates

In functest, we need to know it.
Cedric consolidated Functest in order to manage properly the upstream 
dependencies (including clients/tooling/lib needed for testing relatively to 
upstream components) and introduced a clean packetization, which is key for an 
integration project.

At the moment, the only ODL version reference we found was beryllium-sr4, which 
is pretty old.

According to https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Euphrates+Scenario+Status
scenario owners dealing with ODL are:
- Frank (Apex ∩ Fdio)
- Tim Inrich (Apex ∩ bgpvpn)
- Brady (not sure the page is up to date) / Manuel (Apex ∩ Sfc)
- Georg (not sure it is up to date) Apex ∩ gluon
- Tim Rozet (Other Apex scenarios)
- Ruan He (Compass ∩ moon)
- Justin (Other Compass scenarios)
- Zhiang (Daisy ∩ moon)
- Michael (Fuel/MCP)

could you confirm the target version for ODL?

note: no scenario ODL with joid referenced in the page.

TSC,

After examining status and considering various alternatives, Ray and I have 
agreed to propose July 14 as the new release date for Danube 3.  We believe 
that this will give project and installer teams time to overcome current 
issues, as well as allowing us to avoid the 4th of July holiday in the U.S., 
when many community members will be away on vacation.

Assuming that the TSC approves this change, then I would suggest the following 
schedule:

  *   July 12 - complete testing
  *   July 13 - finish document updates / update JIRA
  *   July 14 - tag repos and release
  *   Week of July 17 - download page goes live

TSC members, please respond to this email with your vote on the following by 
EOD PT June 30:

Does the TSC approve moving the Danube 3.0 release date to July 14th? (+1, 0,

Hi Frank

I think that your proposal aligns with some of the stress testing concepts that 
we have been developing in the Testing Working Group. Re. While VSPERF does not 
utilize the full stack (with Open Stack), the test cases can provide a baseline 
for any NFVI data-plane suite ... i.e. Throughput Tests, Packet and Frame Delay 
Tests, Stream Performance Tests, Request/Response Performance Tests, Packet 
Delay Tests, Scalability Tests, Control Path and Datapath Coupling Tests, CPU 
and Memory Consumption Tests, Time to Establish Flows Tests, Noisy Neighbor 
Tests. We should try to maintain consistency of methods/metrics form component 
level tests to system level where possible. It will be good to discuss this 
further.

We're hoping for a discussion in the technical community meeting on April/20,

Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [release] E-release schedule

2017-02-16 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
David,

thanks for the summary. Let’s remind ourselves, that in OPNFV we’re really 
trying to meet the needs of two different audiences: (1) User/consumer of a 
readily integrated NFV stack – as well as marketing operations (2) 
Developer/tester of an NFV stack. Audience #1 is mostly interested in 
stability, even if that means that things are released a little later (i.e. you 
build on long released components). Audience #2 is pushing the envelope and 
requires the ability to evolve/develop and integrate the latest set of 
components; once working they desire to release things to allow others to build 
on top; and move on/start over.

The current 1.0/2.0/3.0 was an effort to meet the needs of both audiences, i.e.

·   Have a “major” release.

·   Allow developers to release scenarios when they are ready and evolve, 
without too much of a maintenance burden.
This is also why we typically did not fix component versions for a release, but 
said: Based or ODL Boron or later.

I agree that releases are not free – especially the “major” release, because it 
comes with significant documentation and coordination needs. That said, it is 
mostly the “major” release with a lot of central coordination which creates 
efforts. Labeling and pushing an updated version of test results and 
documentation is relatively low effort – and can even be done by a scenario 
team. It does not even require central coordination. And our pipeline is now 
mature enough to do these things with low/moderate overhead.

So rather than move back in history and go back to a single release every 6 
months, which will make OPNFV a very inflexible organization for developers, I 
would strongly suggest that we rather consider evolving the current release 
process. IMHO we should be ready to have monthly micro-releases (scenario 
owners publish those scenarios which are “ready”, i.e. have docs ready and pass 
testing), and every 6 months we do a macro-release (with marketing/press 
announcement) which includes the set of scenarios which are “ready” by then. 
Macro-releases can be coupled to certain upstream component versions (as 
selection criteria for what is in/out of a macro release) – whereas 
micro-release would enjoy complete freedom.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Frank

Subject: [release] E-release schedule

Greetings,

During the TSC call, yesterday, I took an action to start an email discussion 
about the schedule for the 
E-release<https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/E-River>.

Specifically, I suggested that we just plan for a single release, rather than 
three releases, as we've done in the past.  Then, when the release date 
approaches, we evaluate whether we need a point release, then schedule it at 
that time.

Why?

  *   Scheduling three releases has created a lot of confusion with the project 
teams  The purpose of the three releases is to give project teams time to debug 
and fix scenarios that are not ready for 1.0.  They are not separate 
development timelines with separate release milestones.  However, many believe 
that it isn't necessary to meet release milestones, because they will simply 
shift to the 2.0 or 3.0 release.
  *   In the past two releases, the new content released in 2.0 has been 
minimal.  For example, for Colorado 2.0, just two new scenarios were released.  
Human nature is such that, given the opportunity for a later deadline, many 
will take it.
  *   Releases are not free.  In addition to the overhead required for 
labeling, creating ISOs, and updating documentation, projects that released in 
previous releases, are required to update their code for subsequent releases to 
resolve any issues, even if they weren't intending to do any additional work on 
that major release.  For example, let's say that a project releases in Danube 
1.0, they're satisfied with their effort, so they shift their focus to the 
E-release.  However, changes after 1.0 break their scenario.  So, suddenly, 
they find themselves working on Danube 2.0, even though they aren't releasing 
any new scenarios. This process repeats for Danube 3.0.
During the TSC call, it was suggested that a 2.0 or 3.0 release provides an 
opportunity to integrate a late release of a major upstream component (e.g. 
ODL).  However, this is counter to our previous agreement not to change major 
upstream components after the 1.0 release.  Unfortunately, this happened in 
Colorado and created significant disruption, including a slip in the 2.0 
release.

Per our discussion on Tuesday, I've created a wiki 
page<https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/E-Release+Schedule+discussion> to 
capture pros and cons of various schedule options.  Feel

[opnfv-tech-discuss] Project proposals for adding analytics to OPNFV

2017-02-07 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
Hi OPNFV,

over the past few weeks we've distilled two proposals to add analytics and more 
diagnostic capabilities to OPNFV and OPNFV scenarios. We've published the two 
new project proposals on the wiki:

*   Bamboo: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/bamboo/Bamboo+Project+Proposal

*   VINA: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/vina/VINA+Project+Proposal

Bamboo is to introduce the analytics infrastructure provided by PNDA.io to 
OPNFV. VINA is to offer discovery and system health status for VIMs. Both 
projects are to work and in hand and are expected to integrate with both 
Barometer, VES, Qtip, etc. - as well as integrate with the testresults 
post-processing that we already do.

We're hoping for a discussion in the technical community meeting on Feb/23, and 
are also asking for an official TSC review post the technical community review. 
Target would be the TSC call on March/7.

Your thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks much, Frank

Hi Project leads,

If you have not already done it, now is the right time to make sure you have 
the Colorado 1.0 label correctly applied to your repo.
Please follow the instructions here:

+1 – that sounds like a really simple resolution to the problem: “Unless you’re 
on the release branch and the release runs are done using the branch, you 
cannot participate in the release”.

I think that we've reduced the branch-related overhead in 'Danube' by closing 
the stable branch window just 10 days before the release, as opposed to about a 
month with Colorado.  My concern about individual projects deciding whether to 
branch is that I think that it creates some confusion about the location of the 
candidate release.  I think it's simpler and more predictable if we have a 
common process for all projects participating in the release.

While I do agree with this: “I think projects should have autonomy over when 
branches are created.”.
I also think it is up to the release project to set the projects with the 
latest date to do it if they want to participate in any given release.  I think 
that’s essentially what we are trying to tune and optimize for everyone in this 
dialog.

Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [opnfv-project-leads] [release] D-release schedule

2016-09-13 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
Hi Chris,

we can pull stable once projects are done with the work on the release (i.e. 
release criteria is met) – i.e. it does not have to be the release date itself, 
but whenever a project feels like “ready”. One week prior to the release sounds 
reasonable – assuming you know when you’ll release ;-).

BTW/ - Releng already adopts this “don’t branch” principle – they didn’t even 
branch for Colorado.

Hi Frank,

I’m not sure the release date is realistic.
Given the way we use stable branch in our CI and release processes it has been 
apparent that it takes around a week or more for the labels and artefacts to be 
generated from stable.

I do think using a “window” for projects to progress to D release or not is 
valuable.
I would suggest having the CI team provide guidance on the latest possible date 
to branch to stable for any release.  (This depends on project adherence to CI 
processes and the processes themselves.)

David,

one thing that we’ve not closed on in the discussion last Tuesday is the 
stable-branching milestone. Per what Morgan and I elaborated on: Branching 
occurs a lot of unnecessary overhead for projects which have a single 
development stream only. Hence I’d like to propose that

·   the branching milestones *prior* to the release should *only* be 
applied to projects which do parallel development.

·   All other projects would branch on the release date – so that we have a 
proper maintenance branch.

Thoughts?

  Please review and provide feedback.

Note:  during the release meeting on Tuesday, we discussed removing the JIRA 
milestone, since it was not considered release gating.  Since then, I've 
changed my mind.  For the D-release, I expect that we will have implemented our 
JIRA processes sufficiently that we will be able to rely on JIRA to understand 
project status.  Therefore, it is appropriate to believe that if we still have 
unresolved JIRA issues assigned to the release, then the release is not 
complete.  We will be discussing exactly how this will be accomplished in the 
coming weeks.

Hi Chris,

thanks – as long as we clearly position this effort as one of “trying to drive 
proper metrics”, we should be fine. I’m just concerned that once we have these 
toy metrics that people will start to rely on them and read things into them 
that are just not reflecting reality.  This should obviously be avoided.
I just updated the title of the wiki to reflect that this is a discussion page 
– and now a page with health metrics…

Hi Frank,

I’m not sure I would equate the “rough metrics” implied in the current project 
lifecycle as providing significant guidance or establishing a meaningful 
measure of a projects maturity.  I might argue that they are sorely lacking on 
community discussion and agreement.

I see this dialog on community metrics as one vehicle for our community to 
chime in and help set these guidelines with the TSC.  I would not propose we 
stop doing this because we feel the lifecycle metrics are sufficient, rather 
the opposite in that this work may help us find meaningful lifecycle metrics as 
a community.

Hi Ray,

thanks for posting the initial cut. IMHO a "composite score", as proposed on 
the page, could be *very* misleading, especially for projects which do most of 
the work upstream. So unless we track all upstream repos and upstream Jiras (or 
similar), I would suggest to *not* compute a composite score but evaluate 
things qualitatively only.

Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] Working with the docs toolchain locally on your laptop.

2016-08-10 Thread Frank Brockners (fbrockne)
Just to clarify: I’d like to use the OPNFV tool chain on a set of specific 
files only and see whether they render correctly – as opposed to just use 
rst2html (which is what I currently do).

Thanks, Frank

Hi Chris,

thanks for the pointer. Is there a way to just check whether a single file 
builds/parses correctly – rather than always building the entire project?

Thanks, Frank

Hi Community,

While our CI system provides a complete docs renderer that gives you up to date 
links to your documentation when you push a patch for review it may be useful 
for you to work with the toolchain locally while doing you Colorado 
documentation.

This has been made rather simple by our champion of docs scripting Ryota and 
the procedure is kept up to date and relevant at this link:
http://artifacts.opnfv.org/opnfvdocs/docs/how-to-use-docs/documentation-example.html#testing

If you would like to render your docs as you go, please try the toolchain above.
If you prefer you can also simply push a docs patch and follow the links 
provided on the review page.

Regards,
Chris
