Note: Recording of meetings available here: Project meetings

Status:

• Release E planning:
  • RC: Mavenir has agreed to implement the RC xApp that implements a subset of the E2 SM RC related to UE-level handover request CONTROL message.
• RICAPP PTL role:
  • PTL election process (info from Trishan at LF): 

    "Generally, the committers in a project select or appoint a PTL from their ranks. The PTL is usually an comitter on the project. An election or selection process by the committers of the project can be up to the project, depending on how they operate, if it's a small group, without multiple candidates, it could be as simple decision taken in a meeting or if multiple candidates are in the running, then an vote can be taken by the committers. If it's a new project, just being formed, the PTL is assigned or volunteers from one of the companies leading it for the initial term.

    Once the project has selected someone they bring that name to the TSC/ToC for approval."

2021-08-17:

Status:

• Release E planning:
  • HW-C++: Shraboni agreed to update HW-C++ to call new subscription API in xApp framework-C++ (if HCL agrees to update it)
  • HW-python/go: Attempt to address documentation missing on readthedocs - email bounced.
  • RC: Meeting with Mavenir was delayed by Mavenir (to next week)
  • LP: issue integrating with Torch
  • MassiveMIMO xApp: possibly in E Release
  • QP/AD: (add load prediction and potentially geo-location as features)
  • Bouncer: start working on again.
  • Possible other contributions:
    
    • Geo-location (Viavi) - still waiting for final word from Viavi - the Viavi simulator may just provide location in inFlux directly (without an xApp in this release)
    • Network slicing: Nothing expected from RICAPP (but we can do something if we have the cycles)
  • Integration (Viavi simulator, KPIMON, AD, QP, LP, TS, RC)
    • The expectations of KPIMON and RC need to be specified exactly for Viavi to know what needs to be provided
• Open networking presentation - input?
• RICAPP PTL role:
  • OSC (Jack Murray) suggested we determine the new PTL within the project (RICAPP)
  • For continuity of the project, ideally the new RICAPP PTL would come from the current RICAPP committers and active participants
  • The new PTL should be elected by the current RICAPP committers (voting details to be determined)
  • Some project members have expressed interest!
  • Next step:
    • Candidates prepare candidate statement: name, company, experience with open source project, background in the RICAPP project, mission statement
    • Candidate statements posted on RICAPP wiki
    • Deadline: Sept 3rd.
    • Voting details determined by next meeting (Aug 31st) and voting happens after the next meeting.
• OSC lab access problem (Subhash) - Matti will email Rich - problem resolved (account had expired).
