Overview

To get VNF vendors more comfortable with the OVP program for VNFs, the plan is to conduct a OVP VNF hacking track at the upcoming LFN DDF/PlugfestJan 2020 LFN Developer and Testing Forum in Prague. This can hopefully start a virtuous cycle where more VNF vendors means more ONAP in production, which in-turn will drive more VNF vendors to interoperate with ONAP.
