Meeting Agenda

  • Review of the meeting agenda (if any new items)

  • Approval of previous meeting minutes

    • TOC approved all previous meeting minutes; meetings without reached quorum are informative only - Approved

  • Review of action items from previous meetings

    • Projects will decide independently if they want to be included in releases. Releases are planned for the OSC in the same cadence as before. Once project sign for publication, it does not need a TOC approval - Approved

    • N release publication - NONRTRIC and INF projects will be included only - Approved

    • Sridhar to act as release manager - Approved

    • Super committer rights for LNF team - Approved already last week

    • RSAC + TOC merged into one call - Approved

    • CVE page ready to publication - Approved

  • Release progress

    • cannot publish this month the N release - its too late. We will move by 1 month to get the time needed for approval and preparation. Online votes poorly answered

    • update 2026/07/09 - only two projects maintaining wiki. 2026/07/31 is the target date, no separate maintenance release

    • image-20260709-131607.png
  • New business

    • Jinri will step down from the TOC and OSC, likely in two weeks due to personal matters. Next steps will be discussed offline.

    • During the next weeks, we should work on the charter updates as the last step of migration. Possibly we can also loosen the co-chair requirements, e.g. to allow vendors and academia as candidates

Meeting Agenda

  • Review of the meeting agenda (if any new items)

  • Approval of previous meeting minutes

  • Review of action items from previous meetings

  • Release progress

    • cannot publish this month the N release - its too late. We will move by 1 month to get the time needed for approval and preparation. Online votes poorly answered

  • New business

    • next week (2026/07/9) Sridhar will ask for TOC attendance - to be able to resolve remaining pending votes.

    • proposal to move towards self-releases of projects instead of TOC voted releases. Proposal for vote next week. Frequency and schedule will remain the same, project could independently decide if they want to join the release.

    • Super committer rights - problem: too many pending PRs in Gerrit. A vote raised to add a new super committers rights to assist with the pending task. TOC members requested to cast their vote through link from the mail to allow self-approval for these.

      • Super Committers - O-RAN SC - Confluence/Wiki

      • It should be mainly PTL’s activity to keep all the PRs in proper shape. Proposal is to pause all the jobs that are blocked by PTL’s inactivity to limit the workload for the super committers.

      • We acknowledge the need to modernise and replace the existing Jenkins infrastructure and tasks.

        • In some cases support and/or approval is not forthcoming from some projects, PTLs or others in the community. Fundamentally it is the PTLs' responsibility.
          There is a proposal that super-committers are selected to mange and merge outstanding changes to achieve the change. But currently there are only 2 active super-committers, and John Keeney in not able to commit the bandwidth to help with this, so all work would fall on Matt, or new super-committers. Matt affirmed that he is willing to do this if needed.

        • An alternative option is to disable all Jenkins jobs that are not maintained/updated, with significant knock-on effects in docs,  tests, CI, CD and possibly release capabilities. Any further contribution to affected repos would need engagement from the contributor and/PTL to make that engagement possible. 

    • Release update and organizational strategy - Sridhar will drive organizational topics of the releases after Martin left.

    • N-release status - no update received so far. If no overview is ready next week, we will need to discuss a prolongation.

    • Discussion on project status - O-RAN_OSFG-to-LFN_Phase 2_draft_2026-05-18.xlsx - Google Sheets (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cR4ChSfADu8Wk29G3Jo_CzZr9H9LZ8Mp?usp=drive_link ) - Jakub to share with Sridhar notes, Sridhar to reach to PTLs

      • Phase 2 / migration likely not happening - OSC projects are happy in the current setup. Proposal is to put inactive project as a hibernated before archiving and focus on the active one. Vote needed once enough members join.

      • ORAN board report provided - phase 1 finished, phase 2 runs till end of 2026 and will follow natural evolution in LFN. Full slide at ORAN TSC wiki.

    • CVEs

    • OSC TOC attendance

      • ATT pending

    • RSAC + TOC combination: proposal to combine into TOC slot with possible extra ad-hoc calls - we might need to vote next time
