Current OPNFV Scope statement; The scope of the Project includes software development under an OSI-approved open source license supporting the mission, including documentation, testing, integration and the creation of other artifacts that aid the development, deployment, operation or adoption of the open source software project.
Possible Proposed new onescope:
The scope of the Project includes both software development under an OSI-approved open source license and reference documentation, requirements, and specifications under <creative commons> in order to support the mission. These include release documentation, architecture and requirements documents, testing, integration, and the creation of other artifacts that aid in the development, deployment, operation, or adoption of the open source project. Activities of the Project include but are not limited to
(a) Fostering close collaboration of Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and their supply chain to align on architecture and implementation requirements and specifications, integrate and build tests, tools, and components for NFV infrastructure, VNFs and CNFs which realize the stated outcomes of this mission,
(b) iterating on developing an integrated, tested, and certified open software reference infrastructure (including interfaces to hardware), with tools of its own design and from upstream testing projects,
(c) contributing changes to and influencing upstream projects leveraging the reference infrastructure,
(d) building new open source components within the reference infrastructure where needed,
(e) leveraging open implementations to drive an open standards and open-source-based ecosystem for NFV solutions,
(f) supporting and maintaining the strategic framework of the Project through the technologies made available by the organization to make the Reference Infrastructure testing, certification, and deployment a success.
