Meeting Minutes/Agenda Approval: Approved
-
Talk through MANO WG overlap w/ Polestar on VNF onboarding
-
Bryan shared the MANO WG’s VNF onboarding table
<https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/mano/VNF+Onboarding> and noted that
the table was created to promote cross project collaboration and
alignment
around the VNF onboarding conceptual phases and activities.
-
A discussion was had regarding the potential overlap between what the
MANO WG and the Polestar WG are working on. The attendees seemed
generally
to agree that it would be helpful for the Polestar WG to provide the
technical community with architectural thinking and strategic guidance
around OPNFV goals, initiatives, and technical framework at the
high-level
view.
-
It was noted that the MANO WG is focused only on one particular
component of the reference platform and on working with projects on
detailed implementation. It was suggested that the Polestar WG should
perform the top-down qualitative consulting function of
identifying what’s
important for OPNFV to focus on in the open source space and for the
market.
-
User Story Selection Workflow
-
Shamail shared OpenStack’s User Story Flow
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/File:Userstoryflow.png> to
demonstrate the workflow used by the OpenStack Product WG for selecting
user stories. A discussion was had if this could be adopted for use by
OPNFV. A concern was raised that the OpenStack user story
workflow is more
suited for a specific platform/projects and may not encompass the complex
cross-platform/project nature of OPNFV. A question was asked how
to resolve
conflicting proposed user stories and by which organizational body within
OPNFV. A suggestion was made that Polestar should analyze
conflicting user
stories and take them back to EUAG for resolution. The group generally
agreed that this workflow could be adapted as a collaborative guide for
relationships between EUAG, SPC, and WGs.
-
A discussion was then had regarding which group is responsible for
which function on the workflow diagram. The general consensus is that
Polestar should be responsible for the Proposed User Story and User Story
Tracker functions and project teams should be responsible for the
Implementation function. The group also discussed who should perform the
Gap and Overlap Analysis function and noted that OPNFV and
OpenStack differ
on blueprints and specs. It was generally agreed that, although the
workflow suits a more matured organization like OpenStack, it can be
modified for use by OPNFV. Bryan, Chris, and Prakash took the action item
of revising the workflow diagram for further discussion at the
F2F meeting
at the ODL Summit.
-
The group decided to cancel the meeting on September 22.
