Previous Minutes/Agenda: approved
-
Meeting Schedule
-
The proposal to move the WG meeting to 6AM Pacific Time was approved
to accommodate people in Asia time zones. The GTM info remains the same.
-
Between now and the end of September, the WG will meet every Thursday.
-
Use of Aha! Tool for Strategic Planning
-
Margaret gave an update that Cliff showed her some basics of the Aha!
Tool. Margaret is going to experiment and get comfortable using it while
the pricing and payment are being reconciled before the need to
expand user
IDs is considered.
-
Discussion on Pain Points Clarification by Steven Wright
-
Steven Wright, newly elected Chair of the End User Advisory Group
(EUAG), noted that since EUAG has just formed, the group hasn’t had the
chance to add details and refinement to the pain points that Bryan posted
on the wiki.
-
In response to Steven’s question about how EUAG and SPC Polestar WG
can collaborate, suggestions included EUAG providing Polestar WG with
guidance on the prioritization, sequencing, and precise use stories and
scenario(s) of the pain points. Action: Steven will create detailed
user stories of the pain points.
-
Steven asked about the release timeline of the next roadmap. Margaret
noted that OPNFV doesn’t yet have a strategic roadmap. The plan is to
identify one or two key areas to focus on and then map the current OPNFV
projects to see if there are enough projects addressing those
areas by the
end of September. And it would be helpful if EUAG and Polestar WG
use the same format to organize and focus their efforts. Steven
cautioned that progress may be slow initially because EUAG is a
new group.
-
Questions were asked about the purpose of VNFs and Networking for
NFV. Steven will get some clarification on these two points with
EUAG. Action:
Steven will also identify main architecture components if end users have
strong opinions in this space.
-
The group decided to use the ODL Summit at the end of September as a
target date and to have a holistic discussion at the Summit amongst the
EUAG members, Polestar WG members, and PTLs. Between now and then, EUAG
should identify 1-2 highest pain points, the Polestar WG work on mapping
the OPNFV projects to those pain points, and people in the technical
community on this call coalesce the right people into the ODL Summit
discussion.
-
Review of Margaret's Mapping
-
Because of the many overlaps between the initiatives identified by
the SPC and the EUAG's pain points, Margaret created Initiatives v2 (see
Exhibit A) and noted that it would help move things along if
EUAG uses the
same version when it does the prioritization.
-
Margaret showed the group her Excel mapping sheet (see Exhibit B) and
noted that it’s cumbersome to move things around and connect the dots on
the Excel spreadsheet so she will move the information to Aha! once she
gets the license.
-
AoB
-
Everyone welcomed Shamil, who was on the call today as the interface
with the Polestar WG from the OpenStack Product WG. A question was asked
about how to engage with the Product WG in providing OPNFV use stories.
Shamil commented that today’s discussion on refining paint points, user
stories, and text scenarios are good next steps. Shamil will share the
Product WG’s template on capturing use stories and recommended
the Polestar
WG to use a similar format. Shamil also agreed that they can combine
resources on both sides if Polestar and Product groups work together in
this area.
-
The Polestar WG will provide input to the SPC for approval before the
SPC’s report out to the Board on September 8.
