Task report

Looking good, no incomplete tasks.

Agenda & Minutes

Standing Items:

  • Review Open Action Items - nothing to review
  • Review Issues in Gitlab -nothing to review

Specific topics for this week:

  • Kanagaraj has resigned from his post as one of our CVC Co-Chairs (are we ok to continue with only 1 co-chair or should we nominate a replacement?)
    • Decision:  We will not replace our 2nd Co-chair.  The CVC already has 1 co-chair and we believe it is sufficient.  If anyone objects, please contact Olivier Smith.
  • Call for volunteers - Working session on improving the structure and content of Verification – LF Networking.  Goal is to make our "offerings" clearer and to improve the instructions for "how to" apply for a badge. 
    • Update - Due to low attendance we will revisit this again on the next call. 

Items on the agenda that we did not cover (for a future meeting):

  • Status of 2022 Badges (Progress on requirements and tests for a possible 2022 CNF badge for R2)
    • Discussions are ongoing - to discuss again in early Sept.
    • How to address the lack of "pull" for Anuket Assured badged infrastructure and workloads?


New Action Items

  • None this week


  • No labels

  1. Hi all. Tried to join meeting today, but did not find a join link when I followed Sandra's regular link. 

    On this matter: Call for volunteers - Working session on improving the structure and content of Verification – LF Networking, I remain interested. Olivier Smith How are we going about this? Is there anything I could do before next meeting?

    1. Hi Kodi Atuchukwu,

      Absolutely, if you have time I would recommend going to:  Verification – LF Networking

      As a starting point, a way to help would be:

      1) Read it, and reflect on the content and structure

      2) Think about how easy it is for a vendor or service provider to use

      3) Can we connect this site and our program documentation in a better way?  For example, how can we make the steps to verification much easier such as Step 1 - do this, Step 2 - do this, etc.


      Put your thoughts together and share with the team!  Thanks again Kodi Atuchukwu


  2. Olivier Smith Please see below:

    1) Read it, and reflect on the content and structure

    Paragraph 1: commercial cloud native containerized and virtualized products and services

    Paragraph 2: for cloud native containerized and virtualized stacks (VNFs and CNFs)

    Paragraph 3: Will be good to boldly highlight the advantages (possibly a summary of the benefits) and request (even if not formally) for this by the CSPs, just before the 'Key Benefits':

    Key Benefits: Service Providers
    This may be a far cry but, can add:
    Over-provisioning:
    • The under-utilization of existing hardware needs to be addressed
    • The Energy crisis of 2022 further demands that Telco applications are installed more optimally, to utilise server resources more efficiently

    Key Benefits: Vendors
    Can add:
    Leverage the community to reduce in-house effort

    Follow These Steps
    We can include:
    Test set-up (between Step 1 and 2)
    Award of badge (after Step 5)

    Badge Categories:
    Anuket Assured Lab (coming Q2 2022): we should remove or update the date reference
    The badges should have links


    2) Think about how easy it is for a vendor or service provider to use

    It will help to address how Problem Reports, and/or Support Requests are raised

    It will help to have a badging guide, or at least a breakdown of the Steps highlighted.


    3) Can we connect this site and our program documentation in a better way?  For example, how can we make the steps to verification much easier such as Step 1 - do this, Step 2 - do this, etc.

    Yes, we can. We should. This is the guide/breakdown. Happy to help on this.
