It seems like it was only a blink of an eye, since the LFN board announced the upcoming merger of the CNTT Infrastructure workstream, with the OPNFV project. Ok, it was actually this past September, but in this new world of virtual everything, it could have been three thousand years ago. The official merger of the two projects will be in January, but there is much to do to get ready. So let us take a quick peek on what has been happening these past few months.
We have a logo and a name! I know that as a bunch of engineers, marketing and branding is seen as just fluff, but seriously, determining the message is far more important
We have a mission! Mission Statement: Empower the global communications community by creating and developing reference cloud infrastructure models, architectures, conformance programs and tools to deliver network services faster, more reliably, and securely.

Anuket is an Ancient Egyptian goddess of the Nile River especially in the southern area of the Elephantine Island (starting point of the Nile's journey towards Egypt) and its associated inundation. The two tributaries of the river in that region are believed to be her outstretched arms

The LFN Anuket project’s mission is to enable members from the Telecom communities, operators and supporting companies alike, to mutually develop reference models, standardized reference infrastructure specifications and conformance frameworks for virtualized and containerized network functions and workloads, enabling faster and more robust onboarding into production, with the goal of reducing costs and accelerating telecom digital transformation. These artifacts include integrated, tested, and validated open software reference infrastructure (including interfaces to hardware) that will be used to design a conformance framework and validation programs. Ongoing strategic activities include collaboration with other standards bodies and evaluation of emerging technologies for the Telecom industry.
