We need to have Ops feedback (NOC manager) on AI, what pain point could  be solved by AI.

Nephio security working group

@Byung-Woo Jun informed SECCOM that the Nephio security WG is holding a joint meeting with the LF security SIG today at 11AM ET. Nephio plans to adopt 80% of OSSF passing badge.

Topic further discussed:

It was noted that the passing badge should be straight-forward to achieve.

The web page tlhansen.us/badging was discussed. Click on “Single Project…” then fill in a search string or badging ID (e.g. "nephio" or "7665").

For Nephio, Tony recommends to sort by “Type+Section”

Nephio SIG Security meeting:

By: Lucy Hyde When: Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 8:00am to 9:00am (UTC-07:00) Pacific Time - Los Angeles Repeats: Weekly on Tuesday Location: https://zoom.us/j/96025994457

Support for CPS to get gold badge

OJSI distribution list participants were updated with Amy's and Jess's support.

2FA ongoing by Jess and Eric for CPS and OJSI distribution list. 

Per Jessica Wagantall:

LFIT will bring the request for 2FA for all users across all ONAP Jiras to the TSC (26th Oct) for approval. 

LFIT will implement 2FA for users across all ONAP Jiras.

Modeling component move to unmaintained

Modeling team did not follow the unmaintained project process. Build failing for components reliant on the "etsi" components.

modeling/etsicatalog repo deprecation

• Email from Deng Hui

• repo is already archived

• Speak NZ making use of it - no contributions

• SO is also a downstream user

  • can move the repo under SO

Actions:

• AGREED: the TSC approved re-enabling the modeling/etsicatalog repo without anyone to currently maintain it

  • remove etsicatalog from archive status and restore Jenkins jobs

  • @Tony Hansen  When a repo goes into unmaintained status, also need to change its badging status to indicate that it is unmaintained

• Move etsicatalog under SO by New Delhi release

• Jenkins jobs created

@Kenny Paul following up to fix the build break.

AAF Certificate Expiration

AAF-1217: AAF cert service failed to start (expired certificate)In Progress

Review work around proposed by @Andreas Geißler - deferred until @Andreas Geißler returns from holiday

Workaround

Some project containers still experiencing problems: clients using the cert-initializer (e.g. SO, SDC, CDS) still fail.

Need to document certificate management in user docs.

Louis Gamers' AAF cert wiki page: (1) Create AAF CA certificates - Developer Wiki - Confluence (onap.org)

• Components such as dcaegen2 have their own cert init container with the aaf certificate embedded in the container image. This might be the reason why SO, SDC, and CDS broke if they have their own cert init containers.

• Unclear why onap-aaf-sms-preload and onap-dmaap-bc-dmaap-provisioning jobs broke in Louis's environment.

Discussion with China Telecom done - they could check potentially next week and they worked independently on this issue, Aaarna Networks commited to check Andreas's patch.

@Paweł Pawlak to send an e-mail notification to China Telecom about the script prepared by Andreas and associated Wiki documenting it.

Container Signing

Review next steps:

-select signing software (SECCOM + LFIT)

-perform POC with friendly projects (ONAP)

-integrate into build process (LFIT)

Looking for a volunteering project to work with us. raised at the 18th September PTL's call but no volunteer so far.

LF IT would have to prioritized topic. Prioritization is possible with LFN, Muddasar to update ticket. 

@Muddasar Ahmed to analyze which ONAP project has the most frequent changes in its containers.

Muddasar reached out to LF-IT, Jess and her team are analyzing what enhancement has to be made with CI jobs to allow for Container signing.  Further updates will be provided when scope and efforts have been assessed.

No PTL for AAI, DCAE, OOF

-Andreas Geissler and Thomas Kulik made committers

-They will do the work necessary for the projects to participate in the release

-TSC approved streamlining process (7 September)

-SECCOM will create package upgrade recommendations

-TSC will recruit resources to perform upgrades for AAI, DCAE, OOF

• need options to move forward

Kenny's reply is that we could benefit from Mentorship program. We have to define job description and skills needed.

-Byung will discuss with Andreas and Thomas to coordinate release tasks such as backlog prioritization

-Muddasar: someone needs to take backlog management role

-Muddasar: no mandated best practice to manage technical debt; call for a statement about code quality – all code will be secure

-Muddasar & Amy: bring mandate for code quality to LFN TAC 2023/8/16

• Pawel to raise a request to TSC with getting resources for upgrades for AAI, DCAE, OOF - done.
