TSC 2019-06-12 DDF Session notes

DDF F2F brainstorming session on TSC priorities

Date

Goals

  • Priorities for the next 6 months for the TSC
  • Where we can help the PTLs 

Discussion items

  • Atul Purohit recap of the EUAG input
    • requirements gathered from 8 service providers, more on the way
    • Some are very prescriptive, some are more generalized and need to be fleshed out
    • 1st pass with 6 high-level buckets
    • Some carriers have committed to provide resources
    • Will be looking for a slot at an upcoming TSC meeting to provide input
  • cl664y@att.com
    • need to work on the next level of requirements - gain an understanding if net new or does it fit into an existing area/ usecase
    • notedBenjamin Cheung has made a list of which components are impacted by any proposed changed
    • Can't design when we code - El Alto release is an experiment to shorten timing
    • Kicking off Frankfurt release in parallel for longer lead time to align requirements
    • All usecase owners are responsible
      • for tracking and reporting on the usecase deliverables end-to-end
      • enlisting support/resources from other carriers/vendors to provide the work 
      • Engaging with the project PTLs to get buy-in and assess impact
      • Engaging with Architecture, Modeling Usecase, Control-loop, SECCOM subcommittees
    • Stephen terrill "requirements w/o resources are just a wish"
      • important to follow it through integration testing
    • Eric Debeau need to ensure that El Alto stays limited in focus while we work on Frankfurt
      • Need feedback from new ecosystsem partners that want to use ONAP - they are often lost and don't know where to begin
    • cl664y@att.com will be looking at El-Alto and documentation needs
    • Alla.Goldner concerns over the number of usecases being non-scalable the way we are going
      • what was suitable last year is not going to work for us going forward
      • Recommends setting requirements to align with what we have functional/non-functional, etc.
    • Stephen terrill
      • Content of  the documentation - perhaps a more "how to" orientation
      • How to create a virtuous cycle o improving documentation
    • cl664y@att.com
      • El Alto is 3 development cycles - so need to limit the priorities
      • Sprint1 - Security
      • Sprint2 - documentation
      • Sprint3 - ?
    • Andreas Geißler
      • Some items got dropped from previous releases and then never caught back up
      • Certain features are not working completely
      • Should either document the actuality OR complete the features
    • Seshu Kumar Mudiganti 1st priority should be fixing tech-debt and the new functionality - 
    • Bin Yang - security is must have, for others need to look at where resources exist - demand is great, need alignment 
    • cl664y@att.com concept of "tax"; if you want a new feature you must first apply resources to fix backlog before they can work on new feature
    • Alessandro D'Alessandro - recommends organize tutorials on specific topics 1st. 2nd look at complex scenarios.  3rd, big pictures of the functionality - active, carry forward, deprecated, etc.
    • Eric Debeau need both "new-comer" and the more advanced specific functionality demos available
    • Stephen terrill recommends a day of ONAP tutorials at ONS-EU -one hour each
    • Andreas Geißler important to know that we need to understand the actual steps because the use of robotscripts hide a great deal of the actual work needed
    • Timo Perala we could do the 1 hour newby demos in a zoom session and then post them very quickly - needs to be a live session recording.
    • Seshu Kumar Mudiganti recommends making tutorial videos as a checklist item for each release.
    • cl664y@att.com one week after Dublin release do we do videos?

Action items

  • Andreas Geißler get together w/ Atul Purohit to discuss gaps  
  • Atul Purohit identify 2 scenarios that EUAG members would like to see if we can organize a live session that can be recorded  
  •
