ONE Summit / LFN DTF: Proposal for OSC/ONAP/Others Cross-project/-community topics

• Co-Located LF ONE summit and LF DTF in Seattle 15-19(?) November
  • https://events.linuxfoundation.org/one-summit-north-america/program/cfp/
  • https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=68786848
• Suggestions:

  • Panel/BoF session:

    1. integration across multiple projects (e.g ONAP, OSC, 5GSBP etc)
       • benefits of collaboration between the projects
       • Initial distribution list for off-line discussion: John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Martin Skorupski Gervais-Martial Ngueko N.K. Shankaranarayanan Timo Perala ChrisC Ranny Haiby
  • Demo :
    1. Follow on OSC SMO integration in it/dep  (maybe at DTF instead of ONES)
       
       • Based on 5G SBP SMO demo at LFN DTF  
       • ONAP/O-RAN-SC/....
    2. ONAP SON use case?  (again maybe DTF)

ONAP / OSC Copyright issues:

• After some discussion at ONAP TSC:
  • We still don't know how to reuse (parts of) specs - not just names etc. 
    • Maybe the last request/reply didn't capture our needs.
  • Need a followup with Magnus Buhrgard
• Current discussion focus on 3GPP overlap with O1 Yang models - but discussion is broader - more than just Yang models, & more than just 3GPP - same issue with O-RAN Alliance too.

  • Discussing G-Release plan in the O-RAN SC SMO
  • Slides:
    
  • Discussion:
    • Current focus on V-/O-DU VNF rather than a CNF version.
    • Unclear relationship with NFVO & relationship to Element Manager
    • Not clear how the NF OAM adapter fits in here, is it an O1 adapter to vDU? 
    • Will the focus be an OAM management use case, or orchestration/LCM usecase?
  • Need a follow up call at a time suitable for Tacker team.
