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 
• 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
