Meetings will be held bi-weekly on Mondays at 3pm 3 pm EST/EDT.

Feb 3, 2020

• haven't had a meeting in a little while & have stalled out a bit, as the key players setting up the new lab have left the project 
• will look to have a meeting next week to start working up the plan to get this activity started up again 

Jan 6, 2020

• attendees: Bruce, Bill, Alex 
• first meeting for a while due to holidays 
• Bruce let us know that the Intel GDC team has been re-assigned & will no longer be working on this blueprint - the work will be moved to another team, to be determined 
• this is a late breaking development
• Bruce will follow up internally on the timing for identifying the new resources/lab to pick up the work that the GDC team was doing  

Dec 2, 2019

• no meeting, didn't have quorum

Nov 25, 2019

• attendees: Abraham, Erich, Bruce, Glenn, Bill 
• Erich & Abraham summarized their progress on installing a full Distribute Cloud in the GDC environment 
  • 2 controllers + 4 subclouds
  • start with System Controller(s) - install from scratch
  • currently Subclouds are not installed from scratch, but rather just added to the Cloud 
  • takes about 1.5 hours now, depending on how heavily loaded the network is

Nov 18, 2019

• did not have quorum for the meeting, likely due to holiday at GDC site

Nov 11, 2019

• meeting cancelled due to Remembrance Day

Nov 4, 2019

• attendees: Ada, Bill, Bruce
• work continues on GDC lab/Jenkins setup - team to provide an update by mid-week 

Oct 28, 2019

• attendees: Ada, Bill, Bruce, Christopher L, Abraham
• per Christopher, they have started working on the DC install/config
• were able to establish subnet to subnet communication between System Controllers
• working on subcloud configuration now
• current forecast is to complete the install/config by Nov 15 

Oct 21, 2019

• attendees: Ada, Bill, Bruce, Glenn
• SFEDC 2.0
  • Ada's team will provide an updated estimate based on the information they've got now - by this Thursday 
    • Bill to fold the additional installation details into the overall distributed cloud documentation 
  • Bill to check if it's still possible to get into the overall 2.0 release if the blueprint 2.0 deliverables are completed some time in November 
• RFP-Ready Kit (RRK)
  • a proof-of-concept kit to address an RFP 
  • something the IOTG group is using
  • Glenn is interested in using the SFEDC 2.0 blueprint for their RRK 
  • IOTG would take this blueprint, and would apply it to their environment 

Oct 7, 2019

• attendees: Bill, Ada, Bruce, Alex 
• generally speaking, we are at risk for getting the 2nd lab set up by month's end - we'll continue to work towards that goal, the key items are as follows... 
  • Distributed Cloud Installation Recipe
    • close, but not quite there - need an updated forecast from Yang on when this can be provided to Ada & team 
    • per Ada, this is for sure at risk now, since they haven't been able to start, and now need to assign a new resource to the activity (Haydeh is no longer on the project)
  • Jenkins Information/Instructions
    • per Ada, she has reviewed, the instructions look good - she will ask Christopher to review them as well - Ada will get a forecast from Christopher on setting this up 

Sep 30, 2019

• meeting wasn't held as folks were away 

Sep 23, 2019

• attendees: Bill, Ada (Intel), Bruce Jones (Intel), Alex Kozyrev (WR)
• Distributed Cloud installation recipe - still in the realm of possibility to get done this week, Bill to check with Yang
• GDC HW - per Ada, the servers listed in Sep 11 meeting will

...

• be at their disposal generally, if more powerful servers are required, they may be able to use some but not on an ongoing basis 
• Jenkins information/instructions - Ada to review that stuff 

Sep 16, 2019

• attendees: Bill, Lionel Pelamourgues 
• some discussion about use cases for this blueprint - Bill to introduce Lionel to Glenn Seiller for further discussion 

Sep 11, 2019

• attendees: Bill, Ada Cabrales (Intel), Hayde Martinez Landa (Intel)
• discussion around next steps for Ada & Hayde to get the 2nd lab up & running (on Intel's premises)
• the following actions were identified, with some progress notes since then...
  • Ada/Hayde send their server information – we’ll review & assess how similar it is to where we’re running our Distributed Cloud
    • Memory: 64GB
    • CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1275 v6 @ 3.80GHz (8 cores)
    • Disks: 2x447GB
    • Network Cards: Intel X550T, Intel I210
  • Bill send Jenkins information/instructions
    • see Jenkins Guide, Jenkins Peering Guide and How to: Push Logs to Nexus
  • Bill find out how soon (roughly) we think we’ll be able to send the Distributed Cloud installation recipe
    • current plan is that this information should be available at some time during the week of Sep 23rd 
  • Bill to send the recurring meeting info to Ada/Hayde
    • I’ve added you to the recurring meeting directly 
    • please follow the instructions at Akraino TSC Group Calendar

Jul 22, 2019

• attendees: Bill, Dariush, Neil Oliver
• abbreviated meeting today, will work via email and ad-hoc discussions on Rel 2 planning and blueprint family expansion 
• Neil Oliver from Intel joined today - Neill is part of the OpenNess group in the Network & Custom Logic group at Intel 
• OpenNESS is Open Network Edge Services Software
  • https://www.openness.org/
  • was NEV SDK
  • inspired by ETSI MEC platform
  • support LTE, WiFi, Landline I/F
  • added the data plane – e.g. traffic steering at the edge node to the right application (e.g. a Container or a VM)
  • also a controller component
• Open NESS controller can use underlying components (like an OpenStack controller)
• they're in their initial release open source s/w
• many customers that have experience with the NEV SDK, which has been out for 2-3 years
  • there’s a Wind River Linux (Titanium Server) and a CentOS version
• Neill's looking at synergy with StarlingX control components – maybe the Open NESS controller could act as a plug-in that StarlingX could use
• OpenNESS is in a couple of other blueprints as well - one is the Tencent connected vehicle blueprint – traffic steering to a vehicle or an edge device
• we'll continue talking to Neill about the possibilities for defining a blueprint that includes StarlingX and OpenNESS

Jul 8, 2019

• team is currently working on defining the plan for Rel 2, and what our "infrastructure" work items are, as defined by the various sub-committees
• working through the charts and updates from the Mini-Summit in June (per 06/17-19/2019 Technical Mini-Summit and Release 2 Planning)
• currently, unclear on what the sub-committee requirements are in most cases, need to firm this up (will ask at the TSC Working meeting tomorrow)
