Standing Agenda Items (Brief Status of Ongoing Activities)
Release Manager Trishan de Lanerolle /Release Planning: Weekly TOC Scheduling
- Bronze Maintenance Release
- Rittwik - 2 items being tested
- Pipeline - simulator trace file and KPI MON are both back logged. KPIMON is in the repo but subscription is not working correctly. Samsung is investigation. Viavi gave us a schema however trace file needs to be obtained. One week extension at least or two weeks are better.
- Setting up lab with O-DU testing.
- One week is not enough for both items. If possible two week extension.
- Matti - we can not guarantee we can get it working. Subscription manager folks are on vacation this month and we will attempt but no guarantees can be made.
- Lusheng - Yes accurate what Rittwik described. Everything is installed and now we can access the servers and ready to open up to Intel and Wind River for install. It's taking longer than expected so an extension will be nice.
- John-Paul - It will be good to know a definite date. Ongoing extensions we have to make a call.
- Jack - The original Cherry date is July 18. The maintenance release was July 18. The Bronze delayed by one week. This is a concern that we are creeping into the Cherry release development. The Bronze maintenance release will be dead ended on August 1. The maintenance release is scheduled for July 25th. There is a no activity block between June 27 - 31. We will fill up this no activity week and add an additional week to August 1. Maintenance release from July 25 - August 1.
- John-Paul - Acceptable as long as we don't push into the Cherry development.
- Zhimin - Server can be brought up. We need to program the server that will take time to prepare for the setup. It is not possible to finish the O-DU Low and O-DU High by August 1.
- Jack - That will move out of Bronze timeline to Cherry. How will that effect your Cherry development.
- Zhimin - From integration perspective we need to finish the O-DU Low and O-DU High integration. For O-DU Low there is uncertainty. I am not sure what is the overall impact to get into Cherry.
- Rittwik - My understanding was Low, High pairwise testing in Cherry. If we could test the RU test simulator with DU low that will suffice for the bronze maintenance release.
- Zhimin - We are remote programming which is causing delays. Programming the accelerate.
- On motion by Rittwik to extend the maintenance release deadline to August 1 with guidance not to extend that time.
- seconded by John- Paul
- Vote taken, item passed
- Jack - Let's pull together these key items so we can move on to focus on Cherry. Ganesh any concerns from your side? The low to high integration is primarily in Cherry.
- Ganesh - We will work this out with Intel.
- Rittwik - 2 items being tested
- CherryTimeline
- Bronze Maintenance Release
user-59b16 Requirements Software Architecture Committee
user-d3360 Integration and Test
- Lusheng - Originally it was brought up as an email vote that is going on. There is discussion about this particular item. Also from Sorav there were concerns about original licensing proposal. Sharing slides: ip-policy-20200715.pdf
- OSC License policy. some of the code is not licensed as Apache 2. We used previously an attribution list. We are asking TOC explicit case by case. We are including for example MIT license as source code. Going forward we should adopt a policy that is limiting popular and friendly licenses instead of going on a code case by case basis. There was a misunderstanding mostly on my part of what are the popular open source license. Creativecommons.org. has a large variety of licenses. I am now revising this request to a shorter list. The charters are using Apache2 for code. Ask user-d3360 for details.
- Requesting TOC to vote on allowing 3rd party code use policy.
- Jack this is too complicated to rush to vote. Action participating companies review your corporate legal licensing issues with your company and come back with comments. We have time to get this resolved. We want to clarify the use of software licenses for the development team. Each company needs to go and do their research and come back if things on this list make sense then we need to follow a process. Trishan and Lusheng have run it past the LF team and you are comfortable with this?
- Trishan, Yes.
- Juha - Nokia had this original proposal requires approval. This new proposal has to be reviewed. Is this new proposal in line with the technical charters or should the charters be updated first?
- Action / Jack get the O-RAN teams perspective on Juha's concern whether Lusheng's 3rd party proposal is in line with the technical charters.

- Do we create a new project called the SMO as described by the needs of the requirements committee? Action / Farheen Cefalu add it to the top of the agenda next week.
- Rittwik - If the need for the SMO is realized next week then can we get the group together quickly in the interest of time for the Cherry impacts.
- Jack - Starting a new project takes time to get over the original startup threshold. Gathering the team getting all the repos in place. The expectation whenever we add it will be limited. The second release is when you start to see the team work .
