OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call last week

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • Initial proposals for J Release are ongoing:

    • Tentative headline goals:

      • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities

      • Continue work on Service Manager - again pulling together alot of work on Service Exposure in previous releases

      • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment

      • May need to de-prioritise some of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.

      • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.
