Description:
Overview
The Open Networking Summit - Europe 2018 event offers an "unconference" room for topic discussions, small-team breakouts etc. We call this an "Unconference" because it's less about pre-conceived and pre-arranged formal presentations and instead allows for discussion topics of interest to "spring up" either closer to the event or at the event itself.
Approximately 50% of the Unconference sessions will be selected from the proposed topics below. The other half will be scheduled at the event on first-come, first-serve basis If you have a topic you'd like to discuss at ONS and don't already see it below, please consider adding it. If you do see a topic below that you would like to participate in, then please add your name to the list of potential attendees. We will use those lists to determine which topics get scheduled prior to the event.

Edge Stack Discussion for Cloud Edge and IoT
- Name: Edge stack discussion for cloud edge and IoT
- Description: A Birds of a Feather discussion around the problems and design choices for the cloud edge: the network/cloud edge (at the provider side), the user edge (at the consumer side) and their relationships and interactions. There are many efforts in open source communities working towards part of the solutions to address at least some parts of the challenges, e.g. Akraino, ONAP edge automation WG, Openstack edge computing WG, OPNFV Edge Cloud project, LF EdgeX project, just to name a few. As many of the contributors in these (and more) efforts will be in the same place in ONS-Amsterdam, it would be too good an opportunity to miss. Let's use the above design discussion topic as a focal point to explore technical ideas as well as ways to engage with each other. Folks outside of the open source projects are all very welcome to participate as well.

The collaboration between OPNFV C-RAN and O-RAN alliance for 5G whitebox BBU program for indoor distribution
- Name: 5G whitebox BBU program for indoor distribution
- Description: OPNFV C-RAN project will cooperate with O-RAN alliance for evolving radio acccess networks— making them more open and smarter than previous generations. Additional virtualized network elements with open, standardized interfaces will be key aspects of the reference designs. Technologies from open source and open whitebox network elements will be important software and hardware components of these reference designs.
In OPNFV C-RAN project, we will focus on the virtualized network element and standardized interface. we will introduce the architecture of 5G whitebox BBU, including the description for each function component and the specific development plan in C-RAN project.
