Review of Today's Agenda
- Preparation for Bronze Release
- Jack: I added this item for the preparation for the Bronze Release.
- Trishan: We have the Insights team on today.
- Chat: From Trishan de Lanerolle (LF) to Everyone: (08:30 AM)
https://lfanalytics.io/projects/o-ran
- Insights Team
- Shubhra Kar (CTO Insight) sharing a deck.
- LF planning to launch Networking Project this year. Reviewing short term and long term roadmap. Have been working with PMs for the Networking Project.
- Birdseye view of what they are trying. LF foundations automation platform. Security scanning, single sign on service. Wrap zoom around security layer. Analytics will go deeper today. We have easy CLA tools.
- We have been writing automation around asset management, voting, and PM service. We announced crowd funding service and more. The goal it to build a centralized platform to provide services in the platform lifecycle.
- There is an IP automation part.
- Today we are going to talk about Insights. It is still early. It is our V1 version. What are we trying to solve. 1. members, 2. Projects, 3. contributors. We want to look at employees impact. We want to see activities going up or down. For the projects you want to grow the community you want to measure health. Also, optimization is built in. While youre collecting data is the data secure? Email addresses are they stored in GDPR and privacy policies. Look at contributors commits and backlog working in sprints. However, can the contributor think about security? Are there security metrics available. In the version1 we haven't integrated our license yet.
- This is home grown. LF needed to rely on third party tools. This has been built for LF community and all the projects under LF umbrella. Large team supports this from operations perspective. It is GDPR compliant. Features are the multi dimensional views. From a support perspective we are putting a support structure and offer weekly office hours from our engineers.
- We are gathering our metrics around commits and issue tracking. We aggregate on a daily basis. We have automated the instrumentation. So if a project adds another data source tomorrow we can add it without a lot of overhead. We are building custom dashboards on kibana. Two challenges are identiy management. No consistency in contributors ids. How do we unify an identity of a user and refer back to one person. For member companies you want that credit to be applied to the company. How do you affiliate the contributors to these companies? There is no source of truth. We have a solution of how we manage through an administrative console. As we build it out we are scaling into a self-serve platform. We have put access rules into place. These are the data sources. We have projects moving into gitlab. Issue tracking systems. Bugzilla in jira. If you are using jenkins in your builds we have instrumentation that is pulling that data. As well as Slack, Jira, Confluence, Github Issues,...
- John-Paul does there need to be a design time update from the team or our own reports?
- We do create templatized dashboards. If you want to visualize data in a custom view you can download anonymized data and voting dashboard, we have that instrumentation. We have sprints we work on the design and put it on staging get user acceptance and move it to production.
- Jonh-Paul so as a company we could run a query across a number of projects.
- Shubrah: You can we are coming up with an out of box dashboard that will be released in fall.
- Shubrah showing a demonstration. Watch the recording.
- When will it be available to use?
- V1 is available right now. If you look at the site. There is a roadmap and newer views we are building for code pipelines. There is a role out plan PMs in the Networking team. We are doing waves and sign off. Wave 1 was presented. Wave 2 we want to give to O-RAN. There are others.
- Jack: can we have these slides.
- Action/ Trishan de Lanerolle provide the Insight slides to Farheen Cefalu
- David McBride: We split the schedule into greenfield project that don't have a developer O-RAN tool. Last week we talked to CNTT this week FIDO, O-RAN...
- These are the projects that have developer tools.
- Shubhra: PMs are validating their data. This is UAT.
- Jack: Is there a best procedure for closing these unknowns? How we do that? Is there guidance?
- Shubhra: Trishan is one Admin who can work on affiliation. We have a filter list.
- Trishan: We can add a couple of members in the community add them and then merge it back in.
Bronze Release PR
Virtual Exhibition.
- OSC Logo status.
- Preparation for Bronze Release
Release Votes and Approval
- Jack: Any items open for votes and approvals? What is going to happen here is we are going to have a Go No Go vote on the Bronze release. Today is not the right day yet. The B release is supposed to happen on June 14th. Next week we should have a go / no go vote on the software release and press release. We have work to finish if we plan to release on time. That would mean the press release will come out Monday June15 or Tuesday June16.
- Jinri: For the press release the O-RAN Alliance is not quite sure if we will have a separate PR for Bronze release or mid year press release for O-RAN Alliance. I plan to bring this up in todays EC call.
- Jack: That is fine where the mechanics are when we release the info but the preparation of the documentation and released will stick to the time line. We are finishing up end to end testing this week and we'll have to decide if we are ready for a release on the 14th. That will give us time to pull together documentation and additional work for the Bronze release. One of the things we have to finish up gathering for B. We have to have our testing complete and the package to pull together. We'll discuss here how EC wants to release the information but for us we want to make sure we have the information ready for the press release.
- Jinri: Before hand preparation for information. In the press release we want to see the high lights. It is OK to ask the PTLs to provide 2 or 3 bullet points that they would like for us to highlight in the press release.
- Action/ PTLs provide one or two bullet highlights worth including in the press release. It does not have to be long. One or two sentences one or two bullet points. Should include statements from any company's.
- Jack: I will be out next week. Lusheng will be my proxy. Jinri could you run the meeting?
- Jinri: Yes, I think so.
