Description:
Akraino is an open source software stack that improves the state of edge cloud infrastructure for carrier, provider, and IoT networks. It offers new levels of flexibility to scale edge cloud services quickly, to maximize the applications or subscribers supported on each server, and to help ensure the reliability of systems that must be up at all times. The meeting is informal, partly to let new Akraino members since early Mar 2020 have a chance to meet -- it has been almost 19 months since we had F2F !

Meeting Recap
Attendees
F2F - Tina Tsou (Arm), Jane Shen (Mavenir), Doug Eng (Raeden), Ted Qian (Ciena Networks), Kandan Kathirvel (Google), Dr. Dong Wei (Arm), Jeff Brower (Signalogic)
Virtual - Haruhisa Fukano (Fujitsu), Reo Inoue (Fujitsu), Deepak Vij (Futurewei)
Fujitsu SSES robotics presentation
-emphasis on touch, tactile, grasping of objects with different firmness, friction
"High mix, small lot" production. High mix - variety of items handled by same robot, e.g. food service, agriculture
"AI/IoT technology with force/contact info" - touch, stiffness, grip, pressure, temperature
Discussion on how better to promote and/or market Akraino strengths
-blueprint diversity, collecting info from wide range of use cases (for example API usage information, database used for API map)
-security process for blueprint release; i.e. emphasis on security inside Akraino
-these are strong points / differentiation of Akraino compared to other open source communities, we need to capitalize on these
Discussion of current edge computing status / use cases
-Jane - AR/VR
-Doug - where's the money
-Deepak - crypto miners are major/growing users of edge computing, "cloud decentralization" to reduce cost (i.e. not use public cloud, which also reduces security risks)
Discussion of edge-to-edge communication (edge internode communication)
-informative comments and info from Deepak
-discussion highlights - Data Center as a Service, On-Prem as a Service, "cloud broker", "intercloud peering", utility computing
-ongoing Akraino blueprint "Buffer at the Edge" (PTL Jonathan Gael, M2M Bell) - layer 2 distributed queuing (i.e. at MAC physical level)
-edge cloud decentralization

-Equinix Metal
-UC Berkeley working on this
-ICN, extensible Internet
Discussion of plan for TSC members to recruit technical expert guest speakers to present at Tues a.m. meetings
-guest speakers: outside of Akraino, with relevant topic / expertise
-each TSC member assigned a meeting day. He/she can pass to the next member, but should make a strong effort
-how can we incentivize recruitment effort ? based on attendance for the presentation ? maybe some recognition for the TSC member's company ?
Notes
Fukano-san and Inoue-san were live from Japan at 3:30a and stayed on for the full 4 hours. Sugoi !
Doug Eng flew in/out from Seattle same day. His new company Raeden is lucky to have such a warrior
Boxed lunches from Sweet Pea were super tasty. We ordered around 11:30a and had lunch around 12:30p
HanaHaus + Blue Bottle Coffee venue worked out well. There were no complaints, place had a lively atmosphere (lots of people working hard), quick and easy parking, and convenient coffee and snacks. We didn't have enough attendees to overflow our meeting room, so we transferred our payment for 4 hours of open meeting area table to a 4th hour in the meeting room (i.e. we used the meeting room for 4 hours instead of 3 we reserved). Also in my personal opinion (Brower) HanaHaus has done a good job with pandemic related policies. They took the baseline Santa Clara County (SCC) health screening document, made adjustments, and got those approved by SCC. In this way they tailored / balanced their policies and showed dynamic adaptability, which I think compares well with "big corp" venues that Akraino might ask for F2F meeting space.
