David Kinsey where's O-Cloud in this phase 1 (early iteration)? Nephio is just an enabler. We need O-Cloud to interconnect our labs. Tracy Van Brakle For the road map, introduce O-Cloud as a starting point, 4th quarter 2023; and then Cloudify O-Cloud, 2nd quarter 2024 (deployment by the SMO using O2 interface). David Kinsey when should we be targeting a demonstration with an OAI network function, using an OSC SMO to deploy it with Nephio enablers? 3 roadmaps (OSC, OAI, Nephio) have to be aligned. Saw demo at the workshop that use SMO + Near RT RIC + xApp on A1 to make policy change for DU bandwidth. So something is there but needs to be more generalized. Bala from Red Hat indicates that Nephio is creating their user stories and priorities for the R3 release (starting early 2024 towards the middle of 2024), and O2 IMS is one of them. Tracy Van Brakle Doug and I will see where srsRAN might fit in, and when if they do. srsRAN expressed their interest to participate.

         1. Looking at how to connect the infrastructure that we have for the O Cloud to the Fronthall gateway. So, we could deploy O-DU into the cloud and have it able to connect to the TM500 through the Fronthall gateway.

         2. Looking at trying to get an O-DU high / O-DU low instance that is continuously up. Therefore, we would move to continuous integration and test model. So, that new releases of the software would be tested by updating the existing version.

Tracy Van Brakle For the road map, introduce O-Cloud as a starting point, 4th quarter 2023; and then Cloudify O-Cloud, 2nd quarter 2024 (deployment by the SMO using O2 interface). David Kinsey when should we be targeting a demonstration with an OAI network function, using an OSC SMO to deploy it with Nephio enablers? 3 roadmaps (OSC, OAI, Nephio) have to be aligned. Saw demo at the workshop that use SMO + Near RT RIC + xApp on A1 to make policy change for DU bandwidth. So something is there but needs to be more generalized. Bala from Red Hat indicates that Nephio is creating their user stories and priorities for the R3 release (starting early 2024 towards the middle of 2024), and O2 IMS is one of them.

               4. 11-16: Irfan Ghauri The workshop was generally very well attended. NTIA and NSF attended to give government perspective on O-RAN. Good to get the opportunity to address government agencies directly. Demos were very well received. Presented the next phases of collaboration between OSC and OAI e.g. Nephio and OSC collaboration for SMO and relationship to OAI. Meeting next week with Radisys to discuss potential integration of OAI CU with OSC. Next steps are to try to operationalise the OSC collaboration roadmap with, for example, Nephio. Recordings of workshop, poster sessions and demo sessions to be made available online shortly. Need to have a plan / roadmap for OSC features through 2024 similar to the OAI roadmap.
               5. 11-16: Tracy Van Brakle There is an opportunity for teams to present demo proposals at the upcoming North America O-RAN plugfest readout on Nov 29th. Tracy will post further information to the public mailing list.

               7. 11-30: David Kinsey will prepare PR regarding the Boston meeting of OSC and OAI. Irfan Ghauri has shared the summary of meeting with OAI steering meeting. Interesting to learn that Nephio has input into the SMO (FOCOM). 
               8. 11-30: Irfan Ghauri Next steps are to present a joint roadmap. Should be presented to and reviewed by the OSC TOC. David Kinsey there is a challenge for OSC to do better with creating a multi-release feature roadmap.
               9. 11-30: Irfan Ghauri follow-up discussions are already taking place for the traffic network functions. For example, Radisys are working on the O-DU integration with OAI. The workshop really helped to kickstart this collaboration between OSC and OAI. David Kinsey Do we continue to use the OSC O-DU (Low) or do we start to look towards OAI for this function? Ankit Barve has taken an action point at RSAC to investigate a mix n match approach with OSC and OAI for O-DU. Should have a clearer picture on this over the coming weeks.
               10. 12-07: Irfan Ghauri  The document that I prepared basically was co-signed by Ganesh and I'd like permission from Ganesh to be able to present. David Kinsey we'll put it on for next week.

            5. 12-07: Tracy Van Brakle The roadmap of the blueprint is in the form of a white paper and it's a drafty draft on OSFG contribution page. David Kinsey where's O-Cloud in this phase 1 (early iteration)? Nephio is just an enabler. We need O-Cloud to interconnect our labs. Tracy Van Brakle For the road map, introduce O-Cloud as a starting point, 4th quarter 2023; and then Cloudify O-Cloud, 2nd quarter 2024 (deployment by the SMO using O2 interface). David Kinsey when should we be targeting a demonstration with an OAI network function, using an OSC SMO to deploy it with Nephio enablers? 3 roadmaps (OSC, OAI, Nephio) have to be aligned. Saw demo at the workshop that use SMO + Near RT RIC + xApp on A1 to make policy change for DU bandwidth. So something is there but needs to be more generalized. Bala from Red Hat indicates that Nephio is creating their user stories and priorities for the R3 release (starting early 2024 towards the middle of 2024), and O2 IMS is one of them. Tracy Van Brakle Doug and I will see where srsRAN might fit in, and when if they do. srsRAN expressed their interest to participate.

      1. 11-09: Tracy Van Brakle Looking forward to discussions in Boston of having OSC labs working for upcoming plugfest, but also for experimentation & demos
         
         1. See also links from OSFG last week. For those who can access O-RAN Wiki: https://oranalliance.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OSFG/pages/3020881939/2023-11-06+OSFG+Agenda
      2. 11-30: David Kinsey Bedminster lab remains down. Considering consolidation into a different AT&T lab, in a different location (still NJ), which is more aligned with OSC work. Access processes should be similar to current access process. AP on David Kinsey and Tracy Van Brakle to review and revert.
      3. 11-30: David Kinsey proposals for lab contract to be reviewed within AT&T. Work is ongoing and progress is being made. Next two weeks are critical in order to get funding from O-RAN Alliance and finalise lab plans. 
   2. Release Planning: Weekly TOC Scheduling Sridhar Rao 
      1. 11-02: Mapping b/w OSC project work and WG spec. work discussed. There is a table for this mapping for H release. See here: H Release (The table at the end of the page). Good example from INF project with a detailed excel file to record the detailed mapping. Jinri encourage the PTL to make such efforts, or at least fill in the table. Some echos on this suggestion. Some comments are that the work is beyond trial and time-consuming. sometime difficult since some spec. may not have stage-3 defined. Another suggestion is to use the conformance spec. Jinri responded that the value of the work is significant. Yet admitted community is contribution-driven. Yet still strongly encourage the team to do this.
      2. 11-02: AP: Jinri to work with Jackie to refine the table template.
         1.  11-09: See AP review above.
            1.  Jinri Huang: This table is for mapping template between project & specs. No update this week. Will continue
      3. 11-09: Sridhar Rao License Scanning will be complete with report by 10 Dec. See checklist on wikipage: Release Checklist#I-Release
      4. 11-09: AP: Sridhar Rao will report back next week on progress/status of release process & checklist
      5. 11-16: Sridhar has reviewed the status of release I documentation. Many documents still outstanding. AP: All PTLs to update release I checklist and ensure a plan to finalise release docs. 
      6. 11-30: Sridhar Rao is not seeing updates on wiki release pages. Based on current lack of progress, it may be difficult to meet release deadlines for December. PTLs and teams need more urgency in updating release I pages / wiki, highlights, release checklist and other release-relevant documentation. Once all documentation is ready, the only thing required is a TOC release vote. 
      7. 11-30: David Kinsey Release I date is provisionally targeting 25th - 29th December. This may be challenging for some. Need to agree a date for the release vote to take place. Thoralf Czichy suggests the 14th December (keeping 21st December as a backup) for the Release I vote. David Kinsey made motion to release on 14th December, Thoralf Czichy seconded. Motion approved.
      8. 12-07: Sridhar Rao From the I release checklist page, only 5 projects NONRTRIC, RICPLT, ODUHIGH*, INF, AIMLFW completed the committed features. Need all PTLs to work and complete by next Thursday for release vote.For the "Release documentation for Blog/Article on Release" item will have a dedicated marketing person to update the wiki and generate a PR for I release.
