(13:30) 60 Mins Thu | OVP CVC | Enhancements to Test projects / OVP & CVC ecosystem Facilitators: Rabi Abdel, Vodafone, Heather Kirksey, Linux Foundation Vision: Describe current OVP/CVC vision and relation to CNTT, impact on OPNFV, ONAP, etc. Understanding the ecosystem (who, what, where, how?): Existing Test project / OVP ecosystem. CI/CD processes and procedures, security, etc. What in-flight projects are impacted? Which does CNTT feed? Which feed CNTT? Which are obsoleted? Where are there opportunities for improvement? What else does CNTT need to consider? Realization: What are the real steps in the journey? How do we reveal the reference platform profiles and architectures into OPNFV code? How do we go from model to arch to implementation to various project code updation? How could/should it work from a practical perspective? What will help us facilitate release management? OPNFV Project Plan: What shall be our approach? What are the key components? | |
(14:30) 60 Mins Thu | OVP CVC | Reference Implementation / OVP & CVC ecosystem Facilitator: Jim Baker - Linux Foundation, Bin Hu, AT&T, Fu Qiao, China Mobile OVP Infrastructure: What enables smooth transitions? Where and how do reference models, architectures, implementations get hosted? How to make seamless translations between GSMA OPNFV addressable works? Demarcations with other bodies? Potential topic list:
‘Project Management’: What needs to be aligned to ensure all workloads come up and all work (so that VNF certification testing can begin?); Tasks? Deliverables? Processes? Release Timetables | |

Where Do We Go From Here | |||
(15:45) 90 Mins Thu | Next Steps | Panel Discussion: Adoption Strategy / Membership Facilitator: Mark Cottrell, AT&T, Rabi Abdel, Vodafone, David Hutton, GSMA, Heather Kirksey, Linux Foundation, Jeff Collins, Ericsson, Jonne Soininen, Nokia Establish metric targets as part of value propositions: VNF Operational efficiency & Innovation acceleration, Cut amount of internal testing to be done by SPs, Accelerate Time To Market, Improve Quality, Reduce Costs, Reduce Barriers To Entry Examples: Reduction in testing and integration costs, Reduction in certification time, Reduction in defects, Reduction in operational costs… What is overall message: “This is a GSMA OPNFV jointly supported activity...”, Adoption of Ref Model and Architectures (as part of RFQ process), Collaborative Marketing Leveraging Media Relationships: Telecom TV. SM alliances. SDX Central articles. Talking to analysts. Meetup Groups. | |
(17:15) 45 Mins Thu | Next Steps | Closing Session & Next Steps Facilitator: Jonathan Beltran, AT&T Accomplishments: What did we get done? What did we gain alignment/agreement on? What did we sign-off on? What still needs work? Follow ups: What do we need follow up on? Who are they assigned to? Next steps: What are our next steps? With OPNFV / OVP / CVC? With GSMA? With Task Force? With other stakeholders? Calendar and Schedule: Review and confirm remote meetings. Review and confirm face-to-face meetings Session Review: Give everyone an opportunity to speak into all the topics of the day: What went well? What didn’t go so well? What should we change? Closing Round Table Remarks: David Hutton, GSMA, Heather Kirksey, Linux Foundation | |
