Minutes

OPX Induction Request - Introducing the Project to the TAC

• Joe Ghalam reviewed his OPX (Open Switch) slides
• OPX name to help elemiminate confusion with Open vSwitch
• Questions regarding possible trademarking issue due to the proximity of the name Open Switch / Open vSwitch. It is not believed there is an issue.
• Concerns raised over the use of redis database due to restrictive licensing that would prevent an OPX enabled box from being used in a service offering
• Rebranding work underway to remove "open-switch" is WIP and is being handled very strategically.
• Induction documents will be submitted to github this week with review to start next week.
• (Joe drops from call at this point)
• Question/concern raised over expected impact to the LFN budget - part of what the Board takes into consideration 
• Concern raised over proprietary switch driver  - some surprise over the fact it was received in binary form. Needs to be highlighted for the board.
•
