James: updates?
1. 2023-08-01:
  1. O2 integration with OSC RIC is still pending with WR.
  2. OAI was discussed in last week's TOC, and it seems OAI license is not blocker for using OAI in OSC-labs.
2. 2023-08-22:
  1. Can we do pair-wise testing, e.g., between (1) xapp and RIC, (2) non-RT RIC ↔ near-RT RIC testing (only A1) ?
    1. E.g., KPIMON or bouncer xApp could be used. Sunil might be able to help.
    2. e.g., existing discussion with John
3. 2023-08-29: no news
4. 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.
Prashant's work in near-RT RIC(subteam-p)
1. 2023-08-22 : could not participate

  2. Thoralf to figure out a way to start A1 mediator standalone for CI testing
    1. Thoralf sent instructions to John
  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
Abhijit updates (subteam-ag) ?
1. 2023-05-23
  1. 1. hw-rust xapp using xapp descriptor (config.json) works, but still fixing lifeness and readiness probe
    2. testing of subscriptions using hw-rust (facing the E2T problem)
2. 2023-07-18: no news
3. 2023-08-01: got logs from Subhash. Now ran into issues with Dockerfile in E2T (gcc related differences between ubuntu 20 and 22)

6. 2023-09-12:
  1. changes related to registration API needed in xapp-frame (problem still to be thought of)
  2. something not working in github: IT-25974 - again related to github replication.
Cap Gemini updates (subteam-cg)?
1. 2023-08-01
  1. Gunja to present conflict management design
  2. thinking about adding support for DU in E2T/E2M/RNIB in I release
2. 2023-08-22:
  1. Gunja provided reviews for DU support. Nokia to reviewed and merged
    1. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/q/topic:%22Multiple+E2+Node+support%22 and https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/q/topic:Multi_E2_Node
  2. Conflict detection and management. Presentation by Gunja on Sep-12 link-to-slideset
    1. Ashish S. (CapGemini) presented this.
    2. Thoralf will initiate a new repo for this: ric-plt/conflictmgr
      1. this might become an optional or mandatory (but default-disabled) component of thr near-rt ric platform.
      2. todo-cap-gemini: align usage of UE ID with wg3 discussion on this.
      3. additional latency comes only from guidance request
      4. xapp-framework could be extended to automatically do E2 guidance requests
Himanshu (subteam-gs) would like to work on RIC-963
1. code changes, but difficult to test as difficult to change order of IEs in message.
2. 2023-06-06: Added unit tests (integrated in image building) - did some changes in the stubs (based on environment variables). Next step looking into this.
3. 2023-07-18: Code changes almost ready for RIC subscription response - gerrit review coming.
4. 2023-08-22: feedback from Anssi on submgr received and incorporating these changes, but not yet in review.
5. 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".
Dhiraj (subteam-r)
1. 2023-07-18: IPv6 changes to come as review
2. 2023-08-01: working on it.s
3. 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).
4. 2023-09-29:
  1. got clarity on license issues and now waiting for internal approval.
Alexandre (subteam-utfpr)
1. 2023-08-22: Alexandre couldn't participate, but informed after the meeting by e-mail: "My plan for the next two weeks is to fix both RIC-989 and RIC-991 issues."

Nokia (subteam-n)
1. 2023-08-22: want to work on RIC-997
2. 2023-09-12: Thoralf did changes to readthedocs in all near-RT RIC repos. LF informed (link) these changes are needed because some configuration parameters are being removed. No further changes needed due to this. Example: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/a1/+/11747. Note, though, that some repos don't currently generate read-the-docs documention. For the "A1" example, though you see a new documentation version in this URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-a1/builds/
I release content

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.

Dhiraj
1. 2023-05-23: ipv6 - Alexandre working on this: RIC-985. Note that this requires re-creation of most container images.
2. 2023-06-06: ipv6 fix is merged. Dhiraj tried with this new version. Containers start. Good. Investigation continues - most likely fix needed in routing manager ([ brackets cause issues)and E2T (crashes to be fixed).
Alexandre
1. 2023-05-23: no news
2. 2023-06-06:
  1. fixed IPv6 support in RMR - works in IPv6 only case and in case of providing specific IPv6 address. Routing mgr might require additional work.
  2. seems also to be a bug in interface name solution in RMR. Remember to cretae a JIRA item.
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.

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.

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.

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
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. 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

  1. Thoralf raised support request to LF. Reminders sent. Still no solution.
2. 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.
3. 2023-03-28: working on RIC-969 and part of RIC-957
Cap Gemini updates?
1. 2023-03-14
  1. RIC-851 done

2. 2023-03-28: no news.
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.

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

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.

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.

James: RSAC recommended incorporating OTF in testing (David Kinsey can help)- Thoralf to start mail thread with HCL (sunil, Sangeetha) and David on this plus James.
1. 2022-04-12
  1. last Thursday RSAC call was used for preparing OTF installation of the three microservices into O-Cloud (WR k8s with O2 IMS/DMS) to avoid firewall issues
  2. actual workshop planned for RSAC on Apr-21 9am EDT.
  3. Taking OTF into use in E release might be only partially done in E release (also discussed in last week's TOC)
2. 2022-04-26
  1. OTF installed and configured in Bedminster lab. Still access issues, though. Workshop planned for next Wed morning, 8am ET.
  2. David K. shared a lab network picture with the RIC on a separate network. Thoralf not sure why. Subhash and Thoralf interested in the document shared in last RSAC meeting.
3. 2022-05-11:
  1. Currently in the hands of OTF team (Alex)
  2. dms_cli seems to have issues (James has used this in E release), dms_cli does not have CI/CD case. For now, let's agree if a good problem report is sent, Nune or Thoralf can look at it.
    1. 2022-05-30: Thoralf comment in RIC-915
4. 2022-06-21: XTesting (used by Anuket) proposed as alternative to OTF (lack of support from OTF developers)
5. 2022-07-19: James is working on it with LF
6. 2022-08-02: any updates?
  1. caur.us (johannes@ c...) working on docker compose deployment (no K8S). usable in CI?
  2. James working Sridhar on xTesting.
7. 2022-08-16 no news. Friday James will have further discussion with xTesting "evangelist" from Anuket
8. 2022-08-30 progress on xTesting - first results to be presented in RSAC on Sep-21.
9. 2022-09-13: kubectl version used in testing doesn't match expectations. Work in progress
10. 2022-09-27: Demo is in the RSAC meeting from last week. Instructions are here: Automated Testing via XTesting And also watch the RSAC video recording from last week: link (fast forward to minute 9:00).
  1. next step: promote this to all OSC subprojects via TOC.
  2. James trying to run robot test cases in it/test.
11. 2022-10-11: still work in progress. Second demonstration with updated scripts: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/download/attachments/3604609/XTesting-demo.mp4?api=v2

1. 10min RIC-642 xapp-frame-py subscription REST interface → end of August → middle of Sept → (updated 2022-09-27): now scheduled for 2022-10-11 (Erkki)
G release content planning
1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 2H2022 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for G 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 G release dev sprint 1: Aug-22 to Sep-11
  2. Sprint G release dev sprint 2: Sep-12 to Oct-2
  3. Sprint G release dev sprint 3: Oct-3 to Oct-23
  4. Sprint G release dev sprint 4: Oct-24 to Nov-13 (last planned development sprint)
  5. Sprint G release dev sprint 5: Nov-14 to Dec-4 (only for unplanned last-minute development items)
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.
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).
1. 2022-09-13: likely the way we go forward - Subhash and Thoralf will handle
  1. 2022-09-27: Thoralf to create presentation material and send to subhash
  2. 2022-10-11: Material shared and sent to RSAC
2. FYI: FYUZ (O-RAN, TIP, Metaverse summit) happens the week after the O-RAN F-2-F (same place) - Thoralf will present on the O-RAN day
Update from Samsung side
1. A1 - golang - Naman used RMR from E2 manager (not from xapp-framework). Need module label - Thoralf to check. Add Alexandre to mail chain.
2. DMS REST server - Remote-API-equivalent to dmscli. Abukar + Abdulwahid-team and Samsung team on reviewing DMS server implementation. TODO-Thoralf
RUST as a language for xApps and framework. Will take this in the details in next meeting.

Progress on E2APv2.0?
1. in ric platform and simulators?
  1. Any first code/design review request that Arun and Dhiraj should review?
  2. progress, subhash: simulator adapted. E2T changes internally ready.
  3. Subhash&co did not plan to do any testing on xApp side.
  4. thoralf to sent invitation to Subhash &co for Friday → DONE
    1. agreed on configuration transfer to be handled similar to function definitions as E2APv2.0 now defines configuration updates as replacing instead of updating existing component configuration entries.
    2. E2 reset to be handled as new state that xApps see: "connected---transition1-->connected-but-under-reset---transition2-->connected". We use a timer, instead of strict xapp and submgr confirmation that all has been cleaned up. xApps shall resubscribe only after transition2. xapps can assume that submgr has removed all subscriptions (in its view of the world) and that the E2 node has removed them (in its view of the world)
    3. Subhash will send slideset for this during this week
    4. E2 implementation status and reviews coming?
  5. 2022-03-15 any news?
    1. do we need an E2APv2.0 branch (submgr used/uses e2ap-v02.00)

    2. E2 reset to be handled as new state that xApps see: "connected---transition1-->connected-but-under-reset---transition2-->connected". We use a timer, instead of strict xapp and submgr confirmation that all has been cleaned up. xApps shall resubscribe only after transition2. xapps can assume that submgr has removed all subscriptions (in its view of the world) and that the E2 node has removed them (in its view of the world)
    3. Subhash will send slideset for this during this week
    4. E2 implementation status and reviews coming?
  5. 2022-03-15 any news?
    1. do we need an E2APv2.0 branch (submgr used/uses e2ap-v02.00)
      1. if we create a E2 branch now we can do the review in that branch. E2T, E2M, and RNIB. submgr already has branch.
      2. Subhash to ask from Alex Stancu for branch in E2 sim
    2. Already initial versions of the work? Dhiraj and Arun are available for reviewing.
    3. updated design: E2AP 2.0 Design
    4. Could provide initial version in which config handling (IE in E2 Setup) is just ignored.
    5. AP: Subhash to present he E2AP2.0 slides (15min)
    6. A1 mediator work proceeding (two more APIs)
2. in xapps? E2APv2.0 update in xApps that use the old RMR to-be-removed xapp subscription interface - Thoralf asking Sunil to coordinate xapp-side adaptation to REST interface - see RIC-375
  1. kpimon
  2. bouncer (working on rest based submgr API if that means HCL is working RIC-641, please inform Alexandre about this.
  3. all hello-world xapps (hw-go already uses submgr REST ifc)
    1. hw-go issue with old xapp frame lib used. - needs to be updated.
    2. in same mail thread there's another issue - to be discussed over mail.
    3. 2022-03-15: Still open corner case where registration is not done yet, but sub requests are already sent. Thoralf to ask from Nune.
    4. 2022-03-29: xapp wasn't registered (as visible in output of curl commane below. instructions how to register are in user_guide_v2
      1. $ curl -i -X GET http://10.244.0.138:8080/ric/v1/xapps //IP = appmgr IP
      2. []
  4. update simulators (discuss with Subhash if needed) do we have two simulators we have to update?
    1. done, but not yet open for review.
3. in DU

A reminder related to the visibility of LF IT support requests: "If you raise issues to LF support that are sensible to make visible to others, pls. first raise a ticket to join "ORAN" organization in the support tool: "When these organizations (ORAN) were created in the beginning, we added by default all members from the committer groups into the organization. If at that time a particular user was not part of any group or just joined the community, then they will not be automatically added into the oran organization. Going forward, the new user will need to create a support ticket to be added to the organization."
https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/ric-plt/ricctl now exists. Also added in Scope of the near-RT RIC platform and its components (summary)
F release is coming. Need to start some planning on F release. Anything you would like to work on? Anything we should be working on. Let's do a bit of planning in the meeting two weeks from now.
Subhash: shared updates from Samsung
1. E2APv1.1 using simulator from sim/... This project also requires some cleanup. Ron Shacham
  1. there are more changes coming in this simulator area (not further elaborated here)
  2. let's come back to this in F release planning
2. A1 reimplementation. A1-P one read-like ifc now ported. Rest of work still remaining.
3. O2 (dmscli). Thoralf to schedule meeting for Thursday.

Every time: Check if there are new bug reports in JIRA: link
1. RIC-828 (some security issue in DBAAS container) → already fixed.
2. RIC-830 (raised by Subhash after discussion): unless someone has an idea how to do auto-tagging for go modules that are in the same repo, Thoralf suggests to close this as "not fixed" and we continue with manual labelling of each module.
discuss RIC-184 and why we still have helm2 as in RIC-826. To me it seems RIC should be deployed using helm3, but Nune, for example says still, "You should use helm3 only for xApp deployment. For the deployment of platform components, you still need to use helm2".
1. old report (checked already two weeks ago): RIC-826 discusses issue around helm3 usage in app manager. Anybody volunteering (HCL?) to check if we still have helm2 instructed somewhere in it/dep or ric-plt/ric-dep?
2. Sunil & Sangeetha to check if we still have any helm2 references in code or in wiki pages for Dawn.
3. Onboarding (provided by xApp manager) is already using helm3, but the helm2 question is about deploying the base RIC platform.
E2 simulator? Which we is still maintained:
1. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=sim%2Fe2-interface.git;a=summary
  1. originally developed by AT&T and managed by Alex. Not sure if V... is still maintaining.
2. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=it/test.git;a=blob;f=ric_benchmarking/e2-interface/e2sim/src/ASN1c/E2AP-PDU.h
  1. used by HCL for e2sim deployment and bouncer xapp communication. Here the version which we are using in E2AP-PDU.h is E2APv1.01 (ok to use).
3. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=it/test.git;a=blob;f=simulators/e2sim/ASN1c/E2AP-PDU.h
4. Summary Ask Alex to continue supporting/working in sim repo's e2 simulator. The other one that should be continued is it/test's ric_benchmarking (as it works wityh bouncer xApp). (b) was taken from (a) and further enhanced.
5. Summary Delete the simulator in it/test's simulators/e2sim subdirectory. Thoralf to file a JIRA case for this towards the infra project. Thoralf filed: INT-144
HCL needs access to it/test (still open, Sunil to check)
Samsung items

E release "committed" content: link
Design or coordination aspects of some items of the E release
1. RIC-638 config transfer E2APv1.1 (Subhash)
2. RIC-445 CLI (demo from subhash as well)
3. NOT today: RIC-80 and RIC-796 (REST interface for subscriptions only) (Possibly Anssi)
4. RIC-809 subscription interface (Supreeth)
5. RIC-805 We are likely moving the "remove old API part" only in the next release, i.e., maintain old and new in parallel for one release. Team needs some more discussion before something can be presented. Namespace in new implementation is given as part of each get/set method. Previously the namespace was given during SDK initialization. During E release we will only deprecate the old interface, but keep it. Only in F release we will remove.
6. Mavenir thinking about gRPC as communication mechanism (Matti to send e-mail address to Thoralf).
  1. probably for next meeting due to holiday
7. Discuss disaggregated VES agent use case and impact on RIC. Thoralf
  1. This is O-RAN O1 release 6 work (July-Dec 2021). Thoralf understands it introduces a "VES proxy agent" into the Edge CloudInfra that on the left gets VES events from CNFs (e.g., via REST events, or (the new thing) a CloudInfra Kafka instance) and on the right side forwards these to the SMO (e.g., directly into Kafka). Not sure if left-side injection can also be done via O1 websocket performance data streaming.
  2. There might be some issues around data schema alignment that need to be addressed
  3. Anyway, from CNF point of view seems to be one more way of sending statistics/metrics out towards the SMO. For now let's focus on existing O1 (files or websocket streaming) means. Also note that statistics are currently collected via Prometheus. I.e., if, we'd be talking about a new or update mediator component that takes the data from Prometheus and sends it to that new "VES proxy agent".
  4. Note that performance related there are also activities under the Prometheus umbrella that might be relevant, e.g., https://openmetrics.io/
  5. So this seems not to be relevant for the E release of near-RT RIC.

  1. AP-Sunil: check this with HCL team
3. How to get reports more frequently and up to date?
  1. AP-Sunil: check this with HCL team
4. check why some have zero code coverage
  1. AP-Sunil: check this with HCL team
5. ric-plt/e2 is already being handled via RIC-731 (expected to complete in Dawn)
Thoralf updated the CII evaluation criteria. We are now marked as "passed": Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) Badging and https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/projects/4605
1. Note I added RC-5 in Release criteria checklist template "RC-5: Check that "blocker" code smells in Sonartype have been addressed"
Status check of D release items.
Subhash's mail - we went through the D release status of various items Samsung was planning to work on.
Sunil. RIC-723 further input needed from Thoralf
1. Chaitanya (taking over from Alok): discuss in Wednesday's call.
Sunil:
1. RIC-184 - [Adapt to latest K8S and helm (testing in OSC labs)] - completed // Subtask RIC-746 (Testing nanobot on top of helm 3 and k8s v1.18 version): Closed // Subtask RIC-747( Study how nanobot tests can be extended to Xapp) - Closed // Subtask RIC-748(Study OTF & Xtesting as a prospective test framework candidate to draw from for ORAN Near RT RIC) : Attached the ppt to the ticket. Given presentation to Thoralf and Matti. As suggested we need some hands-on experience with OTF to confirm on this. OTF installation on local setup - Moved to Next release. // Subtask RIC-779(Xapp Testing Enhancement like Subscription deletion need to be handled using nanobot): Newly created ticket for handling subscription deletion using nanobot automation. Next Release. // Subtask RIC-775(Run nanobot based test automation from - it/test repository on RIC with k8 1.18/helm3 in OSC lab) Working on the vpn client connectivity (Softether). - In-progress // Ticket RIC-791:
  Raised for updating the container tag and pushing in to staging nexus repo.
2. RIC-723 - [Study performance overhead of latest opentracing solutions] - InProgress Able to generate sampling data after getting some help from Thoralf. Continue to work with other scenarios to compare with previous results.
3. RIC-731- [Static code and test coverage for E2] - 90% Completed. // Blocked on RIC-760 for test coverage.HCL working actively on RIC-731
4. RIC-743 Create multiple e2sim for RIC benchmarking // Thoralf created RIC-790 and moved the two remaining subtasks from RIC-150 to it. I closed RIC-150 as DONE
demos again? Yes. On Jun-8 same time slot as this meeting, but 2 hours. Organizational issues after the demo.
1. From last meeting:
  1. Thoralf to discuss demos for Nokia features, e.g. REST subscriptions, O2 CLI (DMS CLI - Subhash wished for this as REST API is the next step)
  2. Possible influxDB demo to show how to use from xApps
  3. Possible demos in devops areas (e.g. RIC-754)
  4. RIC-129 as slideset demo as real data cannot be used in public demo
  5. RIC-773 if ready by demo
  6. demo for RIC-747/RIC-748 slidesets
Remove Scott as committer - AP Thoralf to start mail thread
Replace Rahul with Naman - AP Thoralf to start approval mail on this.

Recording: link to zoom recording

Every time: Check 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. TODO-check in next meeting only
2. not yet merged: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/submgr/+/5933 - abandoned
3. not yet merged: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/5826 (conclusion: no unit testing equivalent for YAML files in helm charts). - need to coordinate with Felix - decide to get rid of the 3rdpart directory because files will be slightly modified to refer to common template.
every second time: Review code coverage stats. (Sunil checks if this next step (overview page) is on HCL or on Thoralf's side as next action) - will discuss with Thoralf next time or by email.
1. https://sonarcloud.io/organizations/o-ran-sc/projects?search=ric&sort=coverage
2. NExt Sstep: Thoralf to create some way to maintain history data
When does Dawn end? As per release calendar, normally May-14. However I think we will start late with integrating everything together. So the 3-week sprint that is normally reserved for integration (May-17 – Jun-4) is likely still ok for additions. Based on this I would set a deadline for last commits to Jun-4.
Thoralf still to update or CII evaluation
1. I added RC-5
Heewon's xApp python framework issue related to RIC-773 - some issues still
Update on A1-EI interface implementation.- Able to query A1-EI types from non RT RIC- Issue is clarified from nonRT RIC team to create EI-JOB
No progress done on E2APv1.1 support as Naman cannot work on it yet.
HCL updates;
1. RIC-184 - [Adapt to latest K8S and helm (testing in OSC labs)] - completed
  1. Subtask RIC-747( Study how nanobot tests can be extended to Xapp) - Had discussion with Thoralf and prioritize the testing scenarios for the next release. – Closed this ticket,
  2. Subtask RIC-748(Study OTF & Xtesting as a prospective test framework candidate to draw from for ORAN Near RT RIC) : Attached the ppt to the ticket. Given presentation to Thoralf and Matti.
    As suggested we need some hands-on experience with OTF to confirm on this. OTF installation on local setup - Ongoing.
  3. Subtask RIC-779(Xapp Testing Enhancement like Subscription deletion need to be handled using nanobot): Newly created ticket for handling subscription deletion using nanobot automation.
2. RIC-723 - [Study performance overhead of latest opentracing solutions] – InProgress
  1. Able to generate sampling data after getting some help from Thoralf. Continue to work with other scenarios to compare with previous results. Same status as in last meeting. work on it this week.
3. RIC-731- [Static code and test coverage for E2] - 90% Completed.
  1. Blocked on RIC-760 for test coverage.
  2. Same status as in last meeting

Every time: Check 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. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/lib/rmr/+/5848 (ok, exceptional) "Add ability to save route table updates to disk". Actual code lines changed is "only" 96 in an area that supports debugging. Wrote a note to Scott, but no expectation to add test cases.
2. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/xapp-frame/+/5856 (ok, includes unit test)
3. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/vespamgr/+/5864 (ok, actually only test cases for coverage improvements)

RICAPP agenda: RICAPP Meetings.
RIC-184 - [Adapt to latest K8S and helm (testing in OSC labs)] - completed
1. Subtask RIC-747( Study how nanobot tests can be extended to Xapp) : Discussed with Thoralf and based on priority we listed out the scenarios for xapp testing using nanobot.
  First Priority:
  - Xapp Testing Enhancement like Subscription deletion need to be addup.
  - The control interface nanobot could even steer different scenarios, e.g., related to timing. E.g., send a subscription delete for a originally-failed or non-existent subscription; or send duplicate subscriptions, … I.e., testing for correct behavior in failure/timeout scenarios.
  Second Priority:
  - Xapp need to handle E2 Control which already has a scenario (see spec) in which the E2 node sends back a RIC CONTROL ACK. That could be tested as well.
  - Additionally we could have test cases for A1 policy handling (and possibly A1-EI handling if we get +https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-129+ implemented within Dawn)
  Third Priority:
  - O1 proxying, i.e., the CM flow to xApps and FM/PM flow from xApps would be more test cases.
  - Change in the xApp test implementation in which we do not rely on logs but nanobot communicates with the test xApp via some control interface to check Whether a test has been successful or not.
2. Subtask RIC-748(Study OTF & Xtesting as a prospective test framework candidate to draw from for ORAN Near RT RIC) : Given demo to Thoralf and Matti about this OTF and xtesting comparison.
  As discussed with Thoralf he asked which one we can go with either xtesting or OTF.
  I preferred OTF test framework need to explore more on hands-on experience with OTF and VTH integration.
  Working in progress on deploying OTF in to our environment and also looking for OSC lab access to understand.

RIC-671 (Alok) Who did originally pointed us to the “LF security” service? Which security issues it actually discovers that we do not already cover with Sonarcube? Does it actually address “container scans” for vulnerabilities? Does it cover scanning for including of vulnerable libraries or modules, like go modules? If we decide to go forward, we need to … (1) decide if we create a “meta project” entry similar to, e.g., CNCF? Like “O-RAN software community (O-RAN SC)” under which we then have separate projects, like, Near-RT RIC, which in turn will include a certain number of repositories?

Thoralf to figure out how to publish zoom recording
for CII compliance improvements we should do this from now on
1. check that all large 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).
2. add a regular item in the meeting (once per month) to check code coverage
in context of CII, pls. note this convention in section "security bugs": Tools (mailing list, JIRA, Gerrit)
Release criteria checklist template
If you raise issues to LF support that are sensible to make visible to others, pls. first raise a ticket to join "ORAN" organization in the support tool: "When these organizations (ORAN) were created in the beginning, we added by default all members from the committer groups into the organization. If at that time a particular user was not part of any group or just joined the community, then they will not be automatically added into the oran organization. Going forward, the new user will need to create a support ticket to be added to the organization."

Implementation of RIC-114 (redis time series plugin) - Ramesh
1. move out from Dawn: RIC-114
2. create new item for InfluxDB Relay integration and unless we see issues we include it always into Near-RT platform, but only for xApp usage. No need to have an abstract SDL interface that hides the actual underlying Time-series DB. Still to be discussed: Only put this in xApp framework if we can fully hide the fact that it is InfluxDB or put dependency on InfluxDB into xapp framework. Pending Also WG3 work.
E2APv1.1 vs E2APv2.0 and do we upgrade to E2APv1.1. Do we define configuration transfer and OID in E2 Setup as mandatory (as in E2APv2.0) even if in E2APv1.1 they are optional?
1. E2SIM work also needed. Need to bring this up in TOC as it might affect other E2 nodes implementations on DU/CU.
2. thoralf to schedule a meeting on this with Rahul/Subhash/Rittwik for next week Wednesday/Thursday
FYI: Dhiraj (committer in E2T) would like to have discussion with Alok on RIC-731. He (Dhiraj) will call a meeting, To get some understanding of how this was done for other repos and what Alok is planing.
Subhash wants to discuss A1-EI. We agreed to
1. A1 mediator should provide the mechanism to receive EIJobResult and further send it to xApp over RMR.
2. xApp should use preconfigured EITypeID to create EIJob.

A1-EI discussion. Subhash waiting for comments from Matti. Also there was some discussion on the "EI result object" (received by xApp/near-RT RIC). EI result object expected top be provided by EI data producer, while job is managed by non-rt RIC. I.e., there's an interface between non-RT RIC and EI data producer on informing about jobs (and URL targets for the EI result objects).
HCL (Alok) to report on quick analysis on "more advanced" LF CI/CD pipeline that we might want to use in context of OTF (integration track).
1. uses gitlab-based CI. for continuing testing LF uses XTESTING
2. Alok shared the link from opnfv: http://testresults.opnfv.org/functest/xtesting/
3. Alok still discuss with nanobot folks and Felix how current verification is done. (infrastructure testing?)
4. Subhash asked about existing robot test cases and how they would be integrated.
5. Ramesh commented that ONAP is more aligned with LFN and that's one of the reasons we are looking into this.

Need repo(it/test) access to commit our changes for review. 2) HealthCheck Testsuite : i)dbaas: Kubectl ping pong done and coding completed. ii) dbaas: As confirmed, using SDL is the best approach to check for dbaas healthcheck and manual testing completed. Integrating with robot framework is in progress. iii)Submgr healthcheck - As confirmed Anssi we tried adding liveness/readiness probe to submgr and check for http requests. Its in progress. 3) ETE Testssuite: i)Robotxapp deployment checked manually and its working fine. But rmr code which i used for robotxapp deployment is the older one with NNG package. Hence want to check with Bharath and Dave. ii) Automation : out of 11 testcases , 8 testcases passed for this xappdeployments and 3 testcases failed using post request for RAN via E2mgr X2 interface and seems the commands are deprecated.

Schedule for R6 (second half of Cherry: Jira usage conventions → §6).
demos for demo day (next week Thursday = Sep-24 in 2020-09-24 Cherry R6.1 - CANCELLED)
Subhash: move on with exact contribution.
1. [1] Higher abstraction level in xAPP framework SDK (golang) [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-366]
  1. We discussed possible abstraction of this on API level. Matti said one person on AT&T side has been working on this before. We need to set up a separate meeting on this: Subhash, Nune, Matti, Neeraj Gupta (HCL), Vaishali (HCL), h_w.park@samsung.com, Akash (bouncer xapp) Identify new capabilities that we can implement on xapp framework side. Focus on things not yet implemented in any xapp frameworks. presentation by h_w.park@samsung.com on what is planned. Aim for 10am EDT (NewYork) on Monday, Sep-21
  2. RIC-80 is already in progress by Antti teams.
  3. general goal xApps should only rely on E2SM, but do not need to touch E2AP messages (using ASN.1). So, a good abstraction would allow xApp implementation without ever touching an ASN.1 compiler if an E2SM would be defined in something else than ASN.1. We can discuss this further in the Monday meeting.
2. [2] Support for E2AP RESET procedure [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-383]
3. [3] Developing version of xAPP [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-120]
  1. existing "hello world" is C++, but does more than just saying "Hello world", e.g. has own service model. Additional demo xapps in go/python are welcome. For go see in xapp-framework for Go for some skeleton code.
  2. for example, it would be good to have E2SM support for "hello world" E2SM in the simulator.
Alok RIC-509 works better with Ceph (instead of NFS). Meeting to discuss how to integrate this to be called by Alok.
Akash asked about the hello world xApp in terms of a new bouncer xApp (for benchmarking). Pls. contact Matti to get you in contact with hello world expert. Akash to attend also the Monday meeting.
(post-meeting addition): Ron now merged the patch into the E2 simulator: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/sim/e2-interface/+/4700 Work on the simulator can now continue.
(post-meeting addition): RIC-360: continued work on appmgr // RIC-509: testing JJB templates in sandbox (sandbox permissions obtained) // RIC-150 Able to send RIC Subsription Request message from Bouncer xAPP to E2 terminator. Working on handling of the RIC Subsription request message at E2 terminator to E2SIM. Debuging is in progress. Able to exchange E2 Setup request and response. RIC-149: Ricdeployment Testsuite - existing issue got fixed except statefulset, working on this. Sent code modification to Dave and Bharath for review. Healthcheck Testsuite - Interface.robot files missing for few components got fixed and added keyword healthcheck for missing components as well. Working on dbaas, submgr related inerface.robot parameters to add and test. E2E Testsuite: Working robotxapp deployment using http post request using both manual and robot automation.

S1+S2 team any news?
1. Rahul progressing on RIC-95. Thoralf will help with testing as E2 simulator is needed.
2. Subhash interested in picking up items on near-RT RIC platform. Thoralf to send information package.
3. Double-check progress on E2 simulator in simulator project. Action item-Matti: check with Ron. Make sure to to add copyright and license statement.
4. RIC-372 (sdlpy now supports notifications) now done.
H1 team any news?
1. RIC-109 (helm/k8s upgrade) Working on Non NFS based cluster storage on k8s
2. RIC-509: HCL to present output/status of RIC-509.
  1. analysed com-pylog project on sonarcloud using our a/c
  2. Matti noted that xApp's MC xapp has done the same. Always needs to involve LF support case. HCL to include Matti in discussion.
3. RIC-360: Go lang based code changes in progress
4. RIC-150: (e2e benchmarking) Working on the Bouncer xAPP Implementation. "successfully built the e2apv1sim code manually in the LAB and run the e2sim binary. The e2sim sending the E2 setup request message to RIC terminator. The RIC terminator received the E2 setup message and it is not sending the response to e2sim. Because, in decode part of E2 setup request message in RIC, some parameters(RANfunction_Item) are not handled in RIC side and it's giving the decode error."
5. RIC-149 (testing): Started fixing up the health check of ric component testsuites with few missing keywords and missing riccomponent_interface.robot files. As we confirmed with Bharath and Dave we are proceeding to fix the healthcheck and e2e testsuites related issues. Status: In progress Issue: Currently working on this while adding a1mediator interface.robot file " <tpl ($content).AsConfig $>: error calling tpl: Error during tpl function execution for "a1mediator.robot". Due to this some component related files are not mounted to nanobot pod.
alarms implemented in Cherry → check status with owners of sub user stories in (check with owners of 585 203 and 204). Contact Nune
to discuss this reply to Jinri's request: https://lists.o-ran-sc.org/g/main/message/812
1. reply: " from near-RT RIC side we work with: (1) Akraino REC as the Akraino blueprint that we integrate RIC with (2) Nokia investigating if we can provide a wireshark dissector for E2AP (pending discussion with O-RAN alliance) (3) We're using the VESPA (Prometheus to VES adapter) project.

Note that previous demo was on Thursday, 2020-08-13 Cherry R5.4. Recording available on the confluence page.
RIC-628 now also fixed. Together with the earlier fix of RIC-444 this should now remove any issues with unintended dependencies on E2SMs. Now the RIC platform should again be independent of E2SMs. Note that the new routing manager implementation >0.6.1 requires an update of the routing manager helm chart as well. These helm charts are in master branch of repo ric-plt/ric-dep.

RIC-509 we are aiming for CII (core infrastructure initiative of the Linux foundation) self-certified badge "basic". Need to check what basic "passing" badge actually implies. Initially this might be a reasonable aim: (1) Weekly static code scans by SonarCloud, (2) Weekly scans by NexusIQ for outdated 3rd-party packages/libraries (3) All critical and major vulnerabilities are remediated, (4) automatic code coverage is 80%-90%. Note that originally we planned for Cherry: "80% for all existing components and 50% code coverage for new ones."

The below projects are onboarded to SonarCloud but not scanned.
ric-plt-e2 ric-plt-sdlgo ric-plt-xapp-frame ric-plt-appmgr ric-plt-dbaas ric-plt-dbaas-hiredis-vip ric-plt- nodeb-rnib ric-plt-submgr ric-plt-utils ric-plt-jaegeradapter ric-plt-tracelibcpp ric-plt-tracelibgo ric-plt- vespamgr ric-plt-asn1-documents ric-plt-streaming-protobufs ric-plt-ric-test ric-plt-ric-dep ric-plt-demo1

Recording of Jul-2 demo: TODO (pending Matti)
Thoralf on holiday Jul-21. The Jul-7 meeting we still have normally. Matti (hiltunen@a...) to host the Jul-21 meeting.
After discussion with xApp PTL (Matti), we will use the old existing empty repo "utils" as a general repo for small utility-like code. The first usage will be for RMR-to-VES mediator (event converter) "platform xapp". This work is done under RIC-420.
discuss contributions by HCL .
1. Assign to Alok Bhatt:
  1. ricp-integration RIC-360: plan and prototype helm upgrade with xApp manager, REC, RIC infrastructure
  Which K8S version with Helm 3 support to move to? Is 1.18 confirmed? Yes
  App owners with whom we need to work with for this co-existence of Helm 2 and 3 change and for doing post deployment check / sanity testing? xapp manager, it-dep, ric-dep, Schedule meeting with Lusheng and Felix, Abdulwahid.
  1. ricp-e2e RIC-509: Components supporting continuous integration infrastructure, e.g., static code analysis. Schedule meeting with Lusheng
  Pl share more info on LF CI/CD. Sonarcloud or SonarQube? Jenkins Job Builder / Chained CI?Schedule meeting with Lusheng
  1. DBaaS RIC-109: DB: study: SDL scaling with Redis cluster (instead of sentinel) Schedule meeting with Jussi.
  App owners with whom we need to work with for doing this before and after comparison for this move from Sentinel to Redis Cluster mode? Should be transparent to user
  Output format expected from this study, if any
  Assign to Sangeetha KR:
  1. ricp-e2e RIC-149: Define and implement automated test cases for flows to be defined early in Bronze-R4
  2. ricp-e2e RIC-150: Perform e2e RIC benchmarking
  Pl connect us with Bharath Balasubramanian on these items.
2. Pl enable community lab access for us to work on these. → connect with Lusheng for how to use TLab.
3. We manage this existing team mapping, but the items are assigned to Alok and Sangeetha.
discuss contributions by Samsung
1. For now, we would like to get your opinion regarding adding pub-sub feature to sdlpy/xapp-frame-py. As far as I know, this feature is already exists in sdlgo, but there seems to be no ticket related to this feature.
2. This would be item RIC-372. Note that this is not related to xapp-frame-py, but to sdlpy only. Thoralf to reply to Timothy John Ebido.
3. item in JIRA to be assigned to him. Note that right now we have notifications only in go, but not in python or C++.

check RIC-95 status. Quite a lot of work. Code review and unit test cases still to be done.We quickly discussed a possibility of doing healthcheck also via a healthcheck E2SM that woudl have to be defined by O-RAN WG3. We discussed this because in the RICAPPSs Hello World xApp an non-standard E2SM does something similar. Current expectation is that WG3 work will not be picking up this E2SM any time soon.
Check for Bronze what we achieved and Cherry-R5 plans: link (check under "Status 2020-04-29 and 2020-04-30 and 2020-05-06 and 2020-05-12")
Rittwik wants to talk about Cherry release planning.
1. TS use case will probably be expanded on // possibly some ML model management aspects for RIC platform
2. Rittwik mentioned more work in O1/O2, but for Cherry-R5 we might have issues with standardization not ready yet. More likely Cherry-R6 content.
3. For scalability on E2AP no plans in R5 because of standardization being blocked. We do have work for xapp scalabilty study in Cherry-R5 and benchmarking planned for Cherry-R5.
We might or might not have to cancel the next meeting due to overlapping workshop. I will update the groups.io calendar if it's cancelled.
postponed items (out of Bronze): RIC-76 (subscription manager) and many more - see Cherry-R5 plans (same link as in (3) above).

FYI RICP (combined with RICAPP) demos are every third week: Sprint demos
Status of
1. RIC-95 (design approved by tel aviv teams // implementation should be ready // problem with testing as no access to simulator) Tel Aviv cannot test with proprietary simulator as no time. This might delay RIC-95 further. Harry cannot help as on leave. Ron might get simulator ready within two weeks, but there is some risk that service query is not working yet in simulator. Arunkumar could take a look at the service query support in simulator during next week once RIC-95 is ready. If we make good progress, we could still push this into maintenance release (after TOC approval).
2. RIC-203 no progress. design not clear yet. Drop this from Bronze (not try to push it into maintenance release)
postponed DB items EPICS: (not even started): RIC-123, RIC-107, RIC-118 and RIC-119 as well as user story: RIC-104 to post-Bronze-R4

FYI: Tommy Carpenter has left the project. Committer upgrade needed. A1, xapp-frame-py → Chris Lott. RMR python version is in xapp-frame-py. RMR also replace tommy with Chris (even if no RMR python work a<nymore), Rpanta also remove from RMR repo. The repo "utils" we should remove. Add Chris now. Remove Tommy after Bronze. Thoralf to initiate this change.

Between "DBAAS" single-instance and "HA" we switch by using same configmap with different content as in this review: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/3105 For platform components this is a good solution. The idea is that xApps (if they use SDL) have something similar. We might have to expand how this works for xApps later on, e.g., so that xApps have a way to declare what they need in terms of data storage.

Progress report on RIC-203 and RIC-95 (golang) - by Arun
1. first meeting with Abdulwahid related to RIC-203. Dependencies on other capabilities mean work can only start after a couple of weeks
2. meeting with Avinoam's team to be set up by Arun if e-mail discussion does not proceed. T4 has a design proposal. Arun to comment/proceed.
Bengi asked about how we introduce support for WG3 E2AP in E2T and E2M.
1. The code is being adapted to the new E2AP spec from WG3 (with E2 Setup being sent from E2 node to RIC) right now. This is done under https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-60 . You can even check this in terms of more fine-grained user stories from the scrum board (which the T4 team is using quite well): https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=19&view=planning.nodetail&epics=visible&issueLimit=100&selectedEpic=RIC-60 The sprints (and mapping to days) used in this board are explained in §6 here: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RICP/Jira+usage+conventions

Progress on RIC-203 and RIC-95 (golang).
1. Arun quickly introduced himself. For now only person from Samsung who wants to contribute. Working in a team that has already some usage experience with RIC and RIC xAPPs. C++/python experience.
2. Team T4 (Avinoam) work principles: Design review, Unit tests coverage 80%, Automation coverage, Code review, Sonar – zero issues
3. RIC-95 will involve concrete proposal on design - to check with Arunkumar if he can make a design proposal as well.
4. This is a first for existing near-RT RIC project as well. So, we will have to learn form this and adjust our way of working as well.
5. next step: Thoralf to organize a meeting with T4 on Monday/Tuesday and T3 as well. Next steps are planned there.

ASN.1 compiler asn1c is now maintained outside of O-RAN SC in https://github.com/nokia/asn1c Related e-mail: link
December, 17 is the last meeting in 2019. Dec-31 we skip due to holiday season. First meeting in 2020 is on January, 14.
Status on this? No progress yet. We're working on good instructions. For now the best is to start reading README.md in the repo "it/dep" (https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=it/dep.git;a=tree). This is maintained outside of the RIC platform project, though. Eventually, we will have the RIC platform deployment in ric-plt/ric-dep. We are also working on an xApp developer guide for how to develop an xApp in golang. Thoralf to check how we could do this for C++. There is value in the guideline describing a "base". It does not have to describe each and every option. Instructions should work on REC Akraino blueprint and on plain K8S. LE-status-20191204: Waiting for Felix' cleanup work (currently in review). After this 5 working days.
Related to the developer guide: current idea is to talk about (1) Helm Charts, xApp descriptor and schema files, (2) HTTP interface for K8s health probes (aliveness, readiness), (3) RMR interface for communication with other RIC components, (4) Logging, (5) SDL, (6) Config managements (Configmap), (7) metrics creation. If we do not have a E2SM coming soon into WG3, then some simple hello-world E2SM would be good as a base for a demo/sample xApp. We need to consider if we can use the demo1 xApp for the documentation. For C++ let's use a simple E2SM (which has nothing to do with X2). Aim for combined document go and C++. LE-20191204: Thoralf asked from Antti. No reply yet.
SDL Dev guide = 20191213 (LE given on 20191204)
Status of RMR library which will include new MEID handling and update of the documentation related to this.
1. RMR-routing manager and E2T-to-routing-manager interface is now designed. Scott is optimistic that RMR part is ready by end of this week.
2. Matti to at design of MEID routing in RMR under RMR wiki pages as "RMR MEID routing - draft design"
Some question related to SDL library from Bengi (primarily developing C++; possibly python).
1. Q: SDL user guide is needed. Should include some design principles and the big picture. E.g. why there are some constraints on the data types that can be used (e.g. using ordered sets). What is the role of event API and timer API, and when to use own namespace, role of access libraries for read and write APIs (e.g. R-NIB API of E2 manager (go)). Best practices around that also needed. TODO-Thoralf-ask-SDL documentation to go into open-src wiki.
Input from the TS use case for Bronze: "how do we update ML models" is one question we need to address in RICP
Need to plan how we use JIRA in RIC

Release names: Amber, Bronze, Cherry are now decided.
INFO.yaml files should now be ready (exceptions: RSM and rtmgr). Committer management still requires approval by ToC. Plan is to change this approval practices for release Bronze. Once approved, PTL or delegate must update INFO.yaml with new/changed names and reference to approval. We might go for a solution where existing committers must approve and ToC only is notified, but this is not changed yet.

Amber release status by repo: Project Readiness for Amber Release#(NearRealtime)RICPlatform
1. as part of this Paul asked, can someone actually deploy the RIC platform? Bengi clearly said that getting other RIC platform components up is difficult. Documentation needed.
Documentation guidelines: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/DOC#DocumentationHome-RequiredFiles and Configure Repo for Documentation
New component request to be made for Resource Status Processor. Compare to Resource Status Manager (defined here).
Proposal: new component: resource-status-processor
The resource status processor handles incoming E2 resource status report messages and saves the data from these messages into the RNIB. Note that control or management of resource status reporting is not done by this processor, but by the Resource Status Manager. Committers: Shuky Har-Noy, Hila Anina, Yaki Ratz
I will also propose change of committers to TOC:
1. ric-plt/rtmgr: existing committers work on other project. New ones (all Nokia): Nithinsen K and Abdulwahid W
2. ric-plt/submgr: existing committers work on other project. New ones (all Nokia): Anssi Mannila, Juha Hyttinen
We plan to work on O1 implementation using "sysrepo data store plus netopeer 2" over the next few months. We also plan to work on A1 implementation and scalability if E2 termination component. Eventually this work is likely to become b-release content.
There will soon be coming changes in E2 definitions that we are currently using in near-RT RIC. Once WG3 settles on a stable draft specification we can start adapting.
