I was one of those +1s. 15:07:06 ah, great 15:07:35 I think we will have some space for a meeting, but haven't gotten official word yet 15:07:53 I don't have anything else on Barcelona right now 15:08:02 Let's hope so. 15:08:26 do you have anything you want me to look into for Barcelona? 15:08:38 It feels like until we actively start doing more things, the in-person meetings are going to be a lot more active than these 15:08:50 I agree 15:09:02 so it'll hopefully be a good way of getting more awareness out and getting more external input into things. 15:10:00 ok onto the next topic then 15:10:10 #topic Ironic RFE for ONIE 15:10:22 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1618195 15:10:22 Launchpad bug 1618195 in Ironic "Ironic feature to manage network hardware" [Undecided,New] 15:10:54 At the ops midcycle there was an ironic session, and I mentioned the feature to manage netowrk gear, perhaps with onie 15:11:12 #link http://onie.org/ 15:11:35 most whitebox switches use onie to load up a network operating system, and it would be cool if ironic could manage that 15:11:56 I don't know if that is something this team would like to work on, but it's a possiblitiyt 15:12:22 so I put in a "request for enhancement" for ironic 15:12:35 That sounds like a neat idea. 15:13:14 the ironic PTL at the midcycle sounded interested 15:13:23 Would that really fall until "enhancement for Ironic" scope, though? It sounds like it has the potential to be its own component 15:13:44 cf. Nova for compute, Neutron for network 15:14:08 so like it's own project? 15:14:48 Potentially 15:15:38 ok, yeah that's interesting 15:15:52 potentially something to discuss in depth at barcelona? 15:16:51 Sounds like a plan. 15:18:01 #agreed Discuss managing network gear with OpenStack, potentially Ironic 15:18:15 ok, onto the next topic 15:18:28 #topic NYC Ops Midcycle 15:18:41 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/NYC-ops-Telecom-NFV 15:18:58 we had a telecom/NFV session at the ops midcycle, and 18 ppl show up 15:19:08 which was waaay more than I was expecting 15:19:25 about 12 people self-identified as mostly wondering what NFV is and how it relates to OpenStack 15:19:38 so it kind of ended up being an intro session, which was fine 15:20:02 there was a security group bug which a lot of people knew about, let me find it 15:20:19 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1175464 15:20:19 Launchpad bug 1175464 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "should not add default security group to quantum unless api-request had it" [High,In progress] - Assigned to sahid (sahid-ferdjaoui) 15:20:50 it's been around since 2013 and was only recently fixed, it's around turning off port security 15:21:18 any questions on the ops midcycle? that's about all I have for it 15:21:40 Ah yes, I'm familiar with that one. 15:22:13 lol, amazing how many people know about it 15:23:13 oh, and there was some discussion regarding the OPNFV doctor project in the session on compute node failure 15:23:17 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1175464 15:23:17 Launchpad bug 1175464 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "should not add default security group to quantum unless api-request had it" [High,In progress] - Assigned to sahid (sahid-ferdjaoui) 15:23:23 darn wrong link 15:23:39 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/doctor/Doctor+Home 15:23:44 I'm a little surprised that 2/3 of the room didn't know what NFV is, given the increasing focus it's had in recent summits... 15:24:35 PerfectChaos: there were not many telecoms at the midcycle. Cable companies as usual were there though, Comcast, Charter. They are doing NFV related work. 15:24:50 * PerfectChaos nods 15:25:00 I'm not too sure what other telecoms where there...NTT was 15:25:04 other than that... 15:25:09 I guess that's less likely to happen at the summit. 15:25:29 yes there will be lots of telecoms there for sure 15:25:36 there are two NFV tracks this year 15:26:09 Which is probably just as well, since as you say, an intro session is fine but if we want to help improve the landscape for people using NFV it'll be more useful if we can hear from people who are actively working with NFV 15:26:26 right 15:27:39 ok the only other thing I was going to mention was the Verizon paper 15:27:44 #topic Verizon paper 15:27:47 #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/doctor/Doctor+Home 15:28:06 one more time 15:28:12 #link http://innovation.verizon.com/content/dam/vic/PDF/Verizon_SDN-NFV_Reference_Architecture.pdf 15:28:25 I read through it, quite extensive 15:28:49 not sure if perhaps there is something our working group can do with that paper, but it's interesting 15:30:45 I've only had chance to vaguely skim that thusfar. You're right in that it's interesting, though there's a lot to take in. 15:31:44 right, and quite different, at least in style/tone as compared to the ATT ecomp paper 15:31:47 #link http://about.att.com/content/dam/snrdocs/ecomp.pdf 15:31:49 And unless there's something specific covered there which has particular expectations which OpenStack doesn't meet, I think our group wouldn't really have anything to focus on? 15:32:58 right, yeah, it's hard to determine boundaries between OpenStack and a complete telecom NFV system, which is huge and all ecompassing 15:33:13 I think SDN is still a big area of overlap 15:33:15 The impression I got from my earlier skim through the Verizon paper was that it was more accounting for OpenStack's capabilities, rather than highlighting anything which it needs 15:33:46 ...though I'll admit this was very much a quick skim through, so I am likely to have missed it if it does. 15:34:11 I'd have to look again, but I don't recall any major features desired 15:34:39 there was one area, the PIM, I think physical infrastructure manager, which could apply to OpenStack related projects 15:35:05 because apparently PIMs don't really exist yet 15:35:14 or haven't been properly defined 15:35:36 but that could relate to Ironic, or perhaps the new Craton project for fleet management 15:37:26 "ETSI NFV defines VIM but does not define PIM, which is an important functional block." pg. 21 15:39:38 ok, onto open discussion :) 15:39:44 #topic Open Discussion 15:40:03 anyone lurking? :) PerfectChaos have any other thoughts, ideas? 15:41:05 Can't say I do for now. 15:41:26 ok I'll leave it open for a couple min but otherwise I don't have anything else 15:41:46 thanks for coming PerfectChaos :) much appreciated 15:43:27 No problem. Thanks for all of your continuing efforts. 15:43:56 Hopefully once we get started on doing some things we'll get a bit more traction. 15:44:23 yeah for sure, Barcelona should help 15:44:31 ok, I will end the meeting 15:44:52 #endmeeting
