01-11: RSAC "J" Release Planning Status
01-18: features for J release
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.
Looking at trying to getan 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.
01-25: RSAC issue with the web page

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.

11-09APIrfan GhauriFor OAI/OSC workshop: will revert with an update on PR content & channel
11-16:Irfan GhauriThe 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.
11-16:Tracy Van BrakleThere 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.
11-30:Tracy Van BrakleReadout meeting took place for North American O-RAN plugfest. Some outstanding demonstrations were presented. Demonstrators and participants from industry an university faculty students. Mini-PR to be discussed to mark this event. Funding is starting to come from O-RAN Alliance and government agencies (in US and beyond). Martin Skorupski it was good to see things moving in alignment between the O-RAN Alliance and open source.
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).
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.
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.
12-07: Irfan GhauriThe 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.

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.

11-30:David Kinseyproposals 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.
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.

11-16:Irfan GhauriThe 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.

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).
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.
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.
12-07: Irfan GhauriThe 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.
12-07: David Kinsey has a draft for the joint workshop PR but needs get approval from AT&T. Still a pending question about O-DU-low, needs a decision with the roadmap to whether to keep the O-DU-low project. Need to send those questions to Lewis from Intel.

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.

11-09 AP Irfan Ghauri For OAI/OSC workshop: will revert with an update on PR content & channel
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.

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).

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.

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.

2023-10-26: David Kinsey to post recordings of the various meetings. Had a discussion about the role of the various workgroups and their role defining interface and interface files. The AI/ML SMO Energy Saving use-case is aligned well with the OSC work with 4 modes of saving (Cell, channel mgmt, event sleep and cloud entity savings) but in the November Train the groups are still debating the granularity of control over the E2 interface to the DU. You may have fine-grain visibility but different level of controls.
