• • Discussions between Arpit Joshipura, Byung-Woo Jun, Jill Lovato, Louis Illuzzi and Sunny Cai:
    • Highlight the value proposition of ONAP, including overall statistics (e.g., contributors, LOC, etc.) over its lifetime.
    • Provide deployment examples with links to DT, CMCC, Ericsson, AT&T and others
      • Byung-woo to do internal review 
      • DT plans to deploy selected components into production environment (TNAP) this year - discussed during D&TF last year and in several TSC meetings
        • Andreas Geißler, will summarize the input
      • China Mobile & GenAI
      • China Telecom - using fork of ONAP (?) (presentation from 2024)
      • AT&T use case; Dan Timoney
      • What is Ericsson doing and why?
    • Emphasize the product integration of ONAP
    • Use headlines like: "From Control loops and Intent-based to full AI Orchestration and Management." 
    • Highlight security contributions, such as those provided during the OPS 5G project by US Government for Networking slicing
      • Byung-woo Jun plans to add details about ONAP's service mesh and Ingress architecture and implementation
      • Mitre, NSA might be able to provide some info 
    • Address past criticisms of ONAP being too large and complex by emphasizing recent efforts, such as "streamlining microservices and modules, archiving legacy software, etc."
      • Byung-Woo Jun explained the ONAP Streamlining Evolution initiative to address these concerns
      • Has gone from a full “platform” to a collection of “network automation components”
    • This is one shot we get. Let's make it BIG!
    • Arpit's input:

• ONAP, O-RAN SC, Nephio collaboration on O-RAN SMO

From the Paris release, TSC needs to discuss ONAP focus areas and strategies / roadmaps

• • TSC members to add thoughts

Let's discuss more this year for Paris +

Byung-Woo Jun presented the brainstorm at the TSC meeting this week.

Brainstorm:

• Ensure ONAP core components are focused and operate independently, from build to runtime
  • DT finishes Argo-CD based component independent deployment
    • Argo-CD is a DT choice, but ONAP can allow other CDs, e.g., Flux (need contributors)
    • DT plans to productize some of the selected ONAP core components early next year in their TNAP production environment
  • Declarative and Intent-based component operations by the Repository-based Network Automation : see the ideas from ONAP Architecture Evolution - 2025.pdf
• Make ONAP core components more autonomous and ready for use by both ONAP, LF and other external users
  • During New Delhi and Oslo releases, CPS and Policy achieved the OpenSSF Gold Badging status. Kudos to the team!
  • Continue to promote/facilitate other ONAP core components for the Gold Badging status (e.g., UUI, SDNC)
• Incorporate more GenAI capabilities and use cases to the ONAP components, and promote the adoption of open-source LLM models and frameworks aligned with LF AI & Data and GenAI Commons
  • Collaborate with LF AI & Data GenAI Commons and Nephio GenAI for 5G and 6G
  • Open-source based models and controls
  • AI-Based Control Loop
  • AI Model-As-A-Service 
  • ETSI ISG NFV compliance for AI?
• Foster inter-community collaboration with other LF communities, such as O-RAN and Nephio
  • SDNC enhancements (which is used by O-RAN OAM as is)
  • Resource-based Orchestration Pattern (leveraging CD and Operator)
  • Energy saving / monitoring 
• Ensure the security of ONAP components and operations 
  • The latest security mechanism for communications (service mesh enhancements leveraging Istio and coming Ambient Mesh)
  • Deprecate unused sub-components and mitigate security vulnerabilities
• Define a secure LFN CI/CD pipeline by leveraging OpenSSF-associated reference tools
