1. Every time: Check rule RC-4 (link) that all L or XL commits of the last two weeks have also new unit tests. This is our policy. link-to-reviews (gerrit filter instructions // gerrit t-shirt-sizing).
   1. Last checked on 2023-04-11(end of I release)
      1. TODO

2. every second time: Review code coverage stats and blocker code smells
   1. We take a look at the two links in the beginning of this page: Code coverage reports..
   2. The list below is only working reports // Anybody volunteering to work with LF on making the code coverage CI to work again (there's still the old JVM version)
   3. Thoralf did this last on 2022-05-27, 2022-11-22, 2023-03-28, 2023-04-1112-14 as part of release notes:  we did not do this this time
3. Every time: Check if there are new bug reports in JIRA: link
   1. RIC-972 URL for A1 mediator to align with spec.
   2. RIC-971 Fix potential segfaults and double free corruption (in E2T)
   3. RIC-965 RMR wormhole connections uses stale endpoints to make connections

   10. RIC-894 long idle period (days) causes RMR connection breaks
   11. RIC-864 xapp-frame-cpp CI does not use Dockerfile and therefore uses Ubuntu18.04 (not 20.04) in build
   12. RIC-857 sporadically RMR takes multiple minutes before being "ready"
   13. RIC-852 Intermittent Issue with E2T: While setting up E2 setup request and response.

   2022-12-13, 2023-01-17: Bin Yang asked about O2 for RIC platform deployment and xapp deployment. Need to discuss on this topic. O-cloud is deployed in AT&T and Taiwan lab.

4. The current platform deployment scripts might not be in line with O2 envisions
5. David Liu (WR) asked from James on O2 as well. James to check if a proposal on using X testing framework could also be used for integration. There's is also a link to robot test cases.
6. O2-D(MS) is relevant to RIC platform.
7. deploying xApps (LCM) is also an O2 issue - the alternative of using CRDs is not implemented in OSC RIC. Could be implemented as second option for deploying xApps.
8. 2023-01-31: No news yet
9. 2023-02-14: No news yet, Thoralf received e-mail on this from James. Still to check.
10. 2023-02-28: some e-mail discussion. Ball's on Bin Yang & James side. Subhash and Thoralf discussed this and Thoralf to call a meeting with Bin Yang, subhash, James, Thoralf.
11. 2023-03-14: AP-James Meeting was held. We see use cases around deploying RIC platform using helm charts over O2; and deploying xApps over O2. For xApps the role of descriptor->helmcharts→k8s manifests in SMO is still missing. AP for James to check with SMO project on ASD (porting or making available "ricdms/dmscli" to SMO; kserve adapter also affected as it uses ricdms) and support for deploying using helm charts and James to discuss with RSAC. Bin-Yang wants to check how RIC can be deployed using helm charts only.
2023-03-28:no news
12. 2023-04-11: Tacker team provided ideas on SMO architecture (in context of RSAC). No immediate action items for Near-RT RIC platform project
13. Prashant's work in near-RT RIC
    1. Example of additional work needed: A1 - registry and "policystatusobject" (defined in spec, but not implemented in OSC near-RT RIC)
       
       1. best approach is to create a JIRA item and attach document to it
       2. link to JIRA item
       3. Another issue was related to SCTP in E2. Prashant will write an e-mail on the topic (incl Alexandre )
    2. Naman/subhash commented that e-mail is maybe good enough.
14. James:updates?
    1. 2023-01-31:
       1. working on existing robot test cases (that integrate xapps and platform) to be part of xtesting tests.
       2. Subhash asked for a wiki page documenting this work.
       3. WR also want to contribute to xtesting for O2. CNF package definition still open and concept of DMS.
          1. discussion with Bin Yang in this meeting is possible. Maybe some proposal would be good.
          2. Tacker-based deployment needs to be checked.
    2. 2023-03-14, 2023-03-28 : no news
    3. 2023-04-11: H release test cases related O2 IMS committed into it/test. Some of these related to existing robot test cases.

       1. Kserve adapter (mentioned in RSAC and e-mail from Hoejoo),
          1. 2023-01-31 Joseph presented the kserve part. We agreed as working assumption to go for solution #1 (slide 2) with model-based inference. Comments by e-mail to Joseph. Slideset: link
             1. Thoralf to create JIRA item for this
             2. Subhash/Thoralf commented that ricdms cli and REST should be implemented at same time. But also ok if only in one.
             3. 2023-02-14: Subhash discussed with Hoejoo on this (internally) - maybe a presentation coming later
             4. https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentId=67535114#content/view/67535114 
          2. Integration with AI/ML project: kserve_adapter
             1. data pipeline (Hoejoo's e-mail)

    4. 2023-04-11: E2 reset work in submgr is now under work.
Abhijit updates?
17. Abhijit is now committer for the rust subsystems (platform and xapp) - but there seem to be issues on LF side that didn't actually made this happen.
    1. Thoralf raised support request to LF. Reminders sent. Still no solution.
2023-03-14:now has access to hw-rust, but not yet xapp-frame-rust (no need to escalate yet). CI for xapp-frame-rust works now.

18. 2023-03-28: working on RIC-969 and part of RIC-957
19. 2023-04-11:
    1. RIC-969 first set of APIs (SDL) implemented. RNIB not yet (also under RIC-969).
       
    2. hw world xApp should grow with the implementation of xapp-frame-rust. Initial hw-rust xapp will show use of SDL/RNIB.
20. Cap Gemini updates?
    1. 2023-03-14
       1. RIC-851 done
       2. RIC-967 (RIC subscription delete required related changes in xApp communication) added to H release. We discussed this in a meeting and decided to implement pre and post notifications aligned with RICARCH.

21. H release content
    
    1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for H release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
    2. Sprint dates
       1. Sprint H release dev sprint 1: Feb-20´to Mar-12
       2. Sprint H release dev sprint 2: Mar-13 to Apr-2
       3. Sprint H release dev sprint 3: Apr-3 to Apr-23

       1. no Jira tickets yet, but woudl like to focus on 
          1. K8S operator for day 2 operations, like scale-in and scale-out (but requires some thoughts on messaging) : RIC-1048
    2. I release theme for near-rt RIC was "RIC Platform Enhancements". What's it going to be for J?
       1. Thoralf's proposal based on current Jira list: "Make the platform more robust in handling E2AP, conflicts and A1"
    3. We mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2024 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for J release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
       1. committed (90% sure) and tentative (90...30% sure) items: subteam-n, subteam-h, subteam-p, subteam-s, subteam-utfpr, subteam-ag, subteam-cg, subteam-r, subteam-gs
          
       2. committed items only: all teams (committed) and all teams (committed + tentative).
          
       3. items that are known to require work, but are currently not in J release: link
16. 1. input for release candidates: leftovers and generally open items, RSAC
    2. Sprint dates
       1. Sprint J release dev sprint 1: Feb-19 to Mar-10
       2. Sprint J release dev sprint 2: Mar-11 to Mar-31
       3. Sprint J release dev sprint 3: Apr-1 to Apr-21
       4. Sprint J release dev sprint 4: Apr-22 to May-12 (last planned development sprint)
       5. Sprint J release dev sprint 5: May-13 to Jun-2 (only for unplanned last-minute development items)

          1. K8S operator for day 2 operations, like scale-in and scale-out (but requires some thoughts on messaging) : RIC-1048
    2. I release theme for near-rt RIC was "RIC Platform Enhancements". What's it going to be for J?
       1. Thoralf's proposal based on current Jira list: "Make the platform more robust in handling E2AP, conflicts and A1"
    3. We mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2024 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for J release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
       1. committed (90% sure) and tentative (90...30% sure) items: subteam-n, subteam-h, subteam-p, subteam-s, subteam-utfpr, subteam-ag, subteam-cg, subteam-r, subteam-gs
          
       2. committed items only: all teams (committed) and all teams (committed + tentative).
          
       3. items that are known to require work, but are currently not in J release: link

1. 1. input for release candidates: leftovers and generally open items, RSAC
   2. Sprint dates
      1. Sprint J release dev sprint 1: Feb-19 to Mar-10
      2. Sprint J release dev sprint 2: Mar-11 to Mar-31

James to contact Naman if help needed.
   2. 2024-01-16: TM-500 in Taiwan lab is again available (discussions with Intel on bringing up L1 and L2). RIC probably not one of the very next steps.

    21. anybody would like to get more familiar with RMR?

19. 2022-12-13, 2023-01-17: Bin Yang asked about O2 for RIC platform deployment and xapp deployment. Need to discuss on this topic. O-cloud is deployed in AT&T and Taiwan lab.

    1. The current platform deployment scripts might not be in line with O2 envisions
    2. David Liu (WR) asked from James on O2 as well. James to check if a proposal on using X testing framework could also be used for integration. There's is also a link to robot test cases.
    3. O2-D(MS) is relevant to RIC platform.
    4. deploying xApps (LCM) is also an O2 issue - the alternative of using CRDs is not implemented in OSC RIC. Could be implemented as second option for deploying xApps.
    5. 2023-01-31: No news yet
    6. 2023-02-14 No news yet, Thoralf received e-mail on this from James. Still to check.
    7. 2023-02-28: some e-mail discussion. Ball's on Bin Yang & James side. Subhash and Thoralf discussed this and Thoralf to call a meeting with Bin Yang, subhash, James, Thoralf.
    8. 2023-03-14: AP-James Meeting was held. We see use cases around deploying RIC platform using helm charts over O2; and deploying xApps over O2. For xApps the role of descriptor->helmcharts→k8s manifests in SMO is still missing. AP for James to check with SMO project on ASD (porting or making available "ricdms/dmscli" to SMO; kserve adapter also affected as it uses ricdms) and support for deploying using helm charts and James to discuss with RSAC. Bin-Yang wants to check how RIC can be deployed using helm charts only.
    9. 2023-03-28: no news
20. James:updates?
    1. 2023-01-31:
       1. working on existing robot test cases (that integrate xapps and platform) to be part of xtesting tests.
       2. Subhash asked for a wiki page documenting this work.
       3. WR also want to contribute to xtesting for O2. CNF package definition still open and concept of DMS.
          1. discussion with Bin Yang in this meeting is possible. Maybe some proposal would be good.
          2. Tacker-based deployment needs to be checked.

             1. Thoralf to create JIRA item for this
             2. Subhash/Thoralf commented that ricdms cli and REST should be implemented at same time. But also ok if only in one.
             3. 2023-02-14: Subhash discussed with Hoejoo on this (internally) - maybe a presentation coming later
             4. https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentId=67535114#content/view/67535114

    7. 2022-12-13, 2023-01-17: Bin Yang asked about O2 for RIC platform deployment and xapp deployment. Need to discuss on this topic. O-cloud is deployed in AT&T and Taiwan lab.

       1. The current platform deployment scripts might not be in line with O2 envisions
       2. David Liu (WR) asked from James on O2 as well. James to check if a proposal on using X testing framework could also be used for integration. There's is also a link to robot test cases.
       3. O2-D(MS) is relevant to RIC platform.
       4. deploying xApps (LCM) is also an O2 issue - the alternative of using CRDs is not implemented in OSC RIC. Could be implemented as second option for deploying xApps.
       5. 2023-01-31: No news yet
       6. 2023-02-14 No news yet, Thoralf received e-mail on this from James. Still to check.
       7. 2023-02-28: some e-mail discussion. Ball's on Bin Yang & James side. Subhash and Thoralf discussed this and Thoralf to call a meeting with Bin Yang, subhash, James, Thoralf.
    8. James:updates?
       1. 2023-01-31:
          1. working on existing robot test cases (that integrate xapps and platform) to be part of xtesting tests.
          2. Subhash asked for a wiki page documenting this work.
          3. WR also want to contribute to xtesting for O2. CNF package definition still open and concept of DMS.
             1. discussion with Bin Yang in this meeting is possible. Maybe some proposal would be good.
             2. Tacker-based deployment needs to be checked.
       2. 2023-02-14: no updates
       3. 2023-02-28: no updates (James did not participate).

                 4. https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentId=67535114#content/view/67535114 
    11. Abhijit updates?
        1. Abhijit is now committer for the rust subsystems (platform and xapp) - but there seem to be issues on LF side that didn't actually made this happen.
           1. Thoralf raised support request to LF. Reminders sent. Still no solution.
    12. H release content
        
        1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on.

       1. 2023-09-12: requested from PTLs pair-wise testing. From Near-RT RIC point of view we hope for the non-RT RIC project to initiate testing with A1 mediator standalone version.
       2. 2023-09-26: This was presented in TOC (See link). Cases relevant for near-RT RIC:
          1. ODU-high and near-RT RIC (currently using stub).
          2. near-RT RIC and xApp (KPIMON/bouncer or maybe adding CCC xApp)
          3. near-RT RIC and non-RT RIC (A1) - next step on non-RT RIC side (A1 standalone mediator provided)
          4. James will check with Sunil on issues he has with the test cases
          5. ArgoCD used by Taiwan lab in some ONAP SMO  case and the engineers there where wondering if something similar could be done with OSC.
       3. 2023-10-24
          1. updates from O-RAN f-2-f:
             1. nephio and OAI discussion: Nephio team would like to add RAN components (OAI, OSC, and parts of the OSC SMO (via Seshu) into R2 (~Feb2024)
             2. OAI had three demos. One of them is about improving QoE with H release of near-RT RIC using some code copied from KPM and hello world xApps.
                1. see demo "oai-osc-ric-demo.mp4" in link and the demo session recording on the O-RAN web site (thoralf-todo)
                2. more discussion coming at the joint OSC/OAI workshop in Boston
             3. session on SCCL did make some progress in that WG10/WG6 understanding improved. Additional discussion scheduled under O-RAN umbrella for Oct-31.
          2. OSFG discussed on the super wireless footprint (matrial available at O-RAN OSFG)
       4.  2023-11-07
          1. James is working with Taiwan lab on making sure we have good coverage
       5. 2023-11-21

          3. discussed with Bimo (Taiwan lab) on pair-wise testing
          4. discussed with John Keeney (non-rt ric ptl) and discussed A1 pairwise testing. Asked from Sunil what's best A1-policy using xApp. None exists on open-src side. Naman commented that for Policy the hello-world xApp (C++ likely) could be used (just requires RMR  route for policy type (must match the policy type that is created via curl)). James to contact Naman if help needed.
       6. 2024-01-16: TM-500 in Taiwan lab is again available (discussions with Intel on bringing up L1 and L2). RIC probably not one of the very next steps.

    7. Cap Gemini updates (subteam-cg)? 
       1. 2023-11-07: after discussions on the topic we would like to proceed with

          1. Phase1: Conflict Manager (running as a platform component) without E2SM parsing which means that Conflict Manager feature will work only for Conflict Aware xApps. Interface between Conflict Aware xApp and Conflict Manager will be gRPC.

          2. Phase2: E2SM xApp support so that the Conflict Manager feature works for Conflict Unaware xApps as well.

          3. discuss-with-Sunil-on-when-and-how-in-terms-of-repo-creation → we agreed to come back to this in 1H2024

    12. 2022-12-13, 2023-01-17: Bin Yang asked about O2 for RIC platform deployment and xapp deployment. Need to discuss on this topic. O-cloud is deployed in AT&T and Taiwan lab.

        1. The current platform deployment scripts might not be in line with O2 envisions
        2. David Liu (WR) asked from James on O2 as well. James to check if a proposal on using X testing framework could also be used for integration. There's is also a link to robot test cases.
        3. O2-D(MS) is relevant to RIC platform.
        4. deploying xApps (LCM) is also an O2 issue - the alternative of using CRDs is not implemented in OSC RIC. Could be implemented as second option for deploying xApps.
        5. 2023-01-31: No news yet
        6. 2023-02-14 No news yet, Thoralf received e-mail on this from James. Still to check.

             2. OAI had three demos. One of them is about improving QoE with H release of near-RT RIC using some code copied from KPM and hello world xApps.
                1. see demo "oai-osc-ric-demo.mp4" in link and the demo session recording on the O-RAN web site (thoralf-todo)
                2. more discussion coming at the joint OSC/OAI workshop in Boston

          4. discussed with John Keeney (non-rt ric ptl) and discussed A1 pairwise testing. Asked from Sunil what's best A1-policy using xApp. None exists on open-src side. Naman commented that for Policy the hello-world xApp (C++ likely) could be used (just requires RMR  route for policy type (must match the policy type that is created via curl)). James to contact Naman if help needed.
    5. Prashant's work in near-RT RIC(subteam-p)
       1. 2023-08-22, 2023-09-26. 2023-11-07: could not participate

       1. 2023-11-07: after discussions on the topic we would like to proceed with

          1. Phase1: Conflict Manager (running as a platform component) without E2SM parsing which means that Conflict Manager feature will work only for Conflict Aware xApps. Interface between Conflict Aware xApp and Conflict Manager will be gRPC.

          2. Phase2: E2SM xApp support so that the Conflict Manager feature works for Conflict Unaware xApps as well.

          3. discuss-with-Sunil-on-when-and-how-in-terms-of-repo-creation → we agreed to come back to this in 1H2024

          2. Tacker-based deployment needs to be checked.

    ...

    1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for H release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
    2. Sprint dates

    5. 2022-12-13, 2023-01-17: Bin Yang asked about O2 for RIC platform deployment and xapp deployment. Need to discuss on this topic. O-cloud is deployed in AT&T and Taiwan lab.

       1. The current platform deployment scripts might not be in line with O2 envisions
       2. David Liu (WR) asked from James on O2 as well. James to check if a proposal on using X testing framework could also be used for integration. There's is also a link to robot test cases.
       3. O2-D(MS) is relevant to RIC platform.
       4. deploying xApps (LCM) is also an O2 issue - the alternative of using CRDs is not implemented in OSC RIC. Coudl be implemented as second option for deploying xApps.
    6. Sunil still to discuss with other team members for other items from subteam-h
       1. Other tickets CI/CD and Code coverage tickets? Sunil: I am still looking for the resources to work on that.

             1. Sangeetha working on RIC-860, done, but code still to be checked in. 2022-07-05 & 2022-07-19 update:  - Code checked-in, but it seems https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/it/test/+/8530 that is part of GIT relation chain was abandoned (it contained the bulk of the changes for subscription deletion test)
             2. Sangeetha working on RIC-878, status see Jira item, code still to be checked in. 2022-07-05 & 2022-07-19 update:  - Code checked-in

             7. 2022-06-07: news on RIC-860 and RIC-878 or O1 testing?
             8. 2022-07-05: Thoralf marked RIC-860 and RIC-878 as moved out of F release
             9. 2022-07-19: This is pending on LF to get permissions resolved and could then merge these.
             10. 2022-08-02: SUNIL SINGH to check any news on RIC-860 or RIC-878?

                 1. RIC-860 - suggestion is to merge the one abandoned RIC-860 review and the one that is still open into one review and keep that as new review.
                 2. RIC-878 - suggest to re-start review 8500 and merge it with the current open one for RIC-878 and start this as new review.
                 3. test both if they are actually working
                 4. 2022-08-30: team currently busy, but will pick up on this again soon

             1. RIC-641: done in G
             2. RIC-705: xapp registration still open (for H?) → manage this via H content and don't keep it in the agenda.
    7. contributions by new contributor on asn.1 encoders/decoders and APER ASN.1↔XML tool - waiting for repo proposal
       1. created on 2022-08-30: Update 2022-09-13 → 2022-09-27: Now hanging with Augu. - waiting for reply
       2. 2023-01-17: no news → we drop this item from the agenda
          
    8. James:
       1. 2022-11-08: continues work with keysight (using KPI-mon-go xApp (E2APv1, and older E2SM). hw-go could be used if E2AP2.0 is needed. hw-go does not parse E2SM-parts.
          1. HCL also working on E2APv2.0 xApps.
       2. 2023-01-17: work with keysight completed before thanksgiving weekend (excl. xapp; focus on base E2AP cases). No need to keep this in the agenda.
          
    9. H release content
       
       1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for H release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.

    10. GRPC vs RMR
        1. Nokia is plannig RMR with GRPC (E2AP-equivalent xApp interfaces)
        2. to include Alexandre in discussion as well. Subhash also interested in what's coming. Nitin (mavenir) and Sunil (HCL) also interested.
        3. need to look at Mavenir E2SM-RC proposal.
        4. impact on xapp frameworks will happen as well.
        5. Alexandre mentioned option of using QUIC (grpc over QUIC).
        6. Thoralf to schedule a meeting once a proposal is ready.
        7. 2022-08-16 →2022-08-30 → 2022-09-27 → 2022-10-11: no news yet, current approach we assume E2M manages E2 node to gNB list mapping and submgr (together with E2T) manage subscriptions. xApps to be aware of many E2T instances and many xApp instances.
        8. 2022-11-08: focus of Nokia proposal will be on scalability (xApps, #E2 connections)
        9. 2022-11-22: WG3 spec for RICAPI available in current train. Worth reading. Defines GRPC, but also SCTP+Protobuf interfaces.
        10. 2023-01-17: Still working this within Nokia. WG3 also discusses this.
    11. RUST as a language for xApps and framework. Will take this in the details in next meeting.

    12. RICAPP agenda: RICAPP Meetings.
    13. Remember to click on "end meeting for all"

    2023-01-03 (Tuesday)

    Recording: Link to zoom recording

    Sunil kindly agreed to host also the RIC platform part of this week's project meeting.

    We will discuss the plans for the H release in the next meeting. As before, items that were delayed from the previous release and leftover items are prime candidates to work on. Left overs: link

    2022-12-06 (Tuesday)

    Recording:  Link to zoom recording

    The meeting was hosted by Sunil.

    Updates on RICP.

    1. Updates (from Subhash)
       
       1. RIC-385: first part done defining the E2 messages in golang, but actual Reset implementation still needed.  Rest goes to release H
       2. RIC-714: dms Rest interface. Instructions still missing
       3. RIC-914+RIC-849: done (helm charts and jenkins job still coming)

    4. RICAPP agenda: RICAPP Meetings.

    2022-11-22 (Tuesday)

    Recording: link to zoom recording

    1. 1. submgr/+/11681 tomorrow. Then we should be able to merge this.

    2. Dhiraj (subteam-r)
       
       1. 2023-08-22:
          1. checking compliance/license issues
          2. How are policy types created? xApps register by policy type and understands the schema that is bound to it. Non-RT RIC should create policies using the same schema (there's a GUI for this on non-RT RIC side).
       2. 2023-08-29:
          1. got clarity on license issues and now waiting for internal approval before publishing ipv6 releated changes

          1. updates from O-RAN f-2-f:
             1. nephio and OAI discussion: Nephio team would like to add RAN components (OAI, OSC, and parts of the OSC SMO (via Seshu) into R2 (~Feb2024)
             2. OAI had three demos. One of them is about improving QoE with H release of near-RT RIC using some code copied from KPM and hello world xApps.
                1. see demo "oai-osc-ric-demo.mp4" in link and the demo session recording on the O-RAN web site (thoralf-todo)
                2. more discussion coming at the joint OSC/OAI workshop in Boston
             3. session on SCCL did make some progress in that WG10/WG6 understanding improved. Additional discussion scheduled under O-RAN umbrella for Oct-31.
          2. OSFG discussed on the super wireless footprint (matrial available at O-RAN OSFG)
       4.  2023-11-07
          1. James is working with Taiwan lab on making sure we have good coverage
       5. 2023-11-21
          1. was at OSC-OAI conference

          3. discussed with Bimo (Taiwan lab) on pair-wise testing
          4. discussed with John Keeney (non-rt ric ptl) and discussed A1 pairwise testing. Asked from Sunil what's best A1-policy using xApp. None exists on open-src side. Naman commented that for Policy the hello-world xApp (C++ likely) could be used (just requires RMR  route for policy type (must match the policy type that is created via curl)). James to contact Naman if help needed.
    5. Prashant's work in near-RT RIC(subteam-p)
       1. 2023-08-22, 2023-09-26. 2023-11-07: could not participate
    6. Sunil updates (subteam-h)?

          1. We had a meeting with John and Denis on non-rt RIC compatibility. Agreed in fixes for URL and policystatusobject type from integer→string (as per standard) → Naman.
          2. Thoralf to figure out a way to start A1 mediator standalone for CI testing
             1. Thoralf sent instructions to John → DONE
          3. current implementation of /data-delivery URL in A1 - need to check if >1 consumer of EI data (sent by non-RT RIC) works on our side.
          4. Naman also works on the operator implementation
       3. 2023-09-26:
          
          1. kubernetes operator new repo needed or not?
             1. xapp deployment → appmgr or ricdms
             2. ric platform → ric-dep (still work in progress) - check if operator can use helm chart defined by Abhijit.
          2. What happened to kserve adapter? → Subhash can check.
       4. 2023-11-07
          1. Naman presented his k8s operator work. Naman used Kubebuilder
          2. still working on operator to deploy RIC platform
       5. 2023-11-21:
          1. k8s operator commits - needs to be finalized.
    8. Abhijit updates (subteam-ag) ?
       1. 2023-10-24:
          1. Abhijit and James release new base image: docker pull nexus3.o-ran-sc.org:10002/o-ran-sc/bldr-ubuntu22-c-go:0.1.0 → still to be made 1.0.0 → Reminder Abhijit Gadgil 
             
          2. no progress in review on the plain helm chart based deployment in https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/11743 → to be merged by Thoralf Czichy 
             
          3. Abhjit raise RIC-1013 ... RIC-1017 for issues he has discovered. Thoralf to find someone to work on it → most assigned to Nokia
             
          4. 1 and 2 of RIC-1004 still be finailized this week. Rest to be moved to a new item.
          5. Sunil asked about the Rust xApp → ready with basic hello world scenario. Documentation is best placed into readme and  confluence.
    9. Cap Gemini updates (subteam-cg)? 
       1. 2023-11-07: after discussions on the topic we would like to proceed with

          1. Phase1: Conflict Manager (running as a platform component) without E2SM parsing which means that Conflict Manager feature will work only for Conflict Aware xApps. Interface between Conflict Aware xApp and Conflict Manager will be gRPC.

          2. Phase2: E2SM xApp support so that the Conflict Manager feature works for Conflict Unaware xApps as well.

          3. discuss-with-Sunil-on-when-and-how-in-terms-of-repo-creation → we agreed to come back to this in 1H2024
          4. TODO-thoralf-to-ask-Gunja-to-present- Thoralf
    10. Himanshu (subteam-gs) would like to work on RIC-963
        
        1. 2023-08-29: ready for merging once the CI problem (gofmt) is fixed. Can be merged together with a change in the helm chart (ric-dep). Default behavior is "strict order" (as currently). But config value can change to "any order".
        Every time: Check rule RC-4 (link) that all L or XL commits of the last two weeks have also new unit tests. This is our policy. link-to-reviews (gerrit filter instructions // gerrit t-shirt-sizing).

        1. 2023-08-22:
           1. checking compliance/license issues
           2. How are policy types created? xApps register by policy type and understands the schema that is bound to it. Non-RT RIC should create policies using the same schema (there's a GUI for this on non-RT RIC side).
        2. 2023-08-29:

       7. 2022-08-16 →2022-08-30 → 2022-09-27 → 2022-10-11: no news yet, current approach we assume E2M manages E2 node to gNB list mapping and submgr (together with E2T) manage subscriptions. xApps to be aware of many E2T instances and many xApp instances.
       8. 2022-11-08: focus of Nokia proposal will be on scalability (xApps, #E2 connections)
       9. 2022-11-22: WG3 spec for RICAPI available in current train. Worth reading. Defines GRPC, but also SCTP+Protobuf interfaces.
    7. In O-RAN f-2-f in October, OSC has a three hour slot for presentations about what OSC did. RSAC coordinates this. Slideset on content of E and F release, show existing demo on RIC deploy, xapp deploy and connect simulator, show demo on E2AP2.0 incl. E2 config update (all together 30 min).

    10. James: updates?
        1. 2023-09-12: requested from PTLs pair-wise testing. From Near-RT RIC point of view we hope for the non-RT RIC project to initiate testing with A1 mediator standalone version.
        2. 2023-09-26: This was presented in TOC (See link). Cases relevant for near-RT RIC:
           1. ODU-high and near-RT RIC (currently using stub).
           2. near-RT RIC and xApp (KPIMON/bouncer or maybe adding CCC xApp)
           3. near-RT RIC and non-RT RIC (A1) - next step on non-RT RIC side (A1 standalone mediator provided)
           4. James will check with Sunil on issues he has with the test cases
           5. ArgoCD used by Taiwan lab in some ONAP SMO  case and the engineers there where wondering if something similar could be done with OSC.
        3. 2023-10-24
           1. updates from O-RAN f-2-f:
              1. nephio and OAI discussion: Nephio team would like to add RAN components (OAI, OSC, and parts of the OSC SMO (via Seshu) into R2 (~Feb2024)
              2. OAI had three demos. One of them is about improving QoE with H release of near-RT RIC using some code copied from KPM and hello world xApps.
                 1. see demo "oai-osc-ric-demo.mp4" in link and the demo session recording on the O-RAN web site (thoralf-todo)

           2. Thoralf to figure out a way to start A1 mediator standalone for CI testing
              1. Thoralf sent instructions to John → DONE
           3. current implementation of /data-delivery URL in A1 - need to check if >1 consumer of EI data (sent by non-RT RIC) works on our side.
           4. Naman also works on the operator implementation
        3. 2023-09-26:
           
           1. kubernetes operator new repo needed or not?
              1. xapp deployment → appmgr or ricdms
              2. ric platform → ric-dep (still work in progress) - check if operator can use helm chart defined by Abhijit.
           2. What happened to kserve adapter? → Subhash can check.
        4. 2023-11-07
           1. Naman presented his k8s operator work. Naman used Kubebuilder

        1. 2023-10-24:
           1. Abhijit and James release new base image: docker pull nexus3.o-ran-sc.org:10002/o-ran-sc/bldr-ubuntu22-c-go:0.1.0 → still to be made 1.0.0
              
           2. no progress in review on the plain helm chart based deployment in https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/11743 
           3. Abhjit raise RIC-1013 ... RIC-1017 for issues he has discovered. Thoralf to find someone to work on it.
    15. Cap Gemini updates (subteam-cg)? 
        1. 2023-11-07: after discussions on the topic we would like to proceed with

           1. Phase1: Conflict Manager (running as a platform component) without E2SM parsing which means that Conflict Manager feature will work only for Conflict Aware xApps. Interface between Conflict Aware xApp and Conflict Manager will be gRPC.

           2. Phase2: E2SM xApp support so that the Conflict Manager feature works for Conflict Unaware xApps as well. TODO-discuss-with-Sunil-on-when-and-how-in-terms-of-repo-creation

           3. TODO-thoralf-to-ask-Gunja-to-present
    16. Himanshu (subteam-gs) would like to work on RIC-963
        
        1. 2023-08-29: ready for merging once the CI problem (gofmt) is fixed. Can be merged together with a change in the helm chart (ric-dep). Default behavior is "strict order" (as currently). But config value can change to "any order".
        2. 2023-11-07: addressing review comments of https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/submgr/+/11681 tomorrow. Then we should be able to merge this.
    17. Dhiraj (subteam-r)
        
        1. 2023-08-22:
           1. checking compliance/license issues
           2. How are policy types created? xApps register by policy type and understands the schema that is bound to it. Non-RT RIC should create policies using the same schema (there's a GUI for this on non-RT RIC side).
        2. 2023-08-29:
           1. got clarity on license issues and now waiting for internal approval before publishing ipv6 releated changes

    1. 1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 2H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for I release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
