O-RAN-related business (marketing, WG interaction, TSC/EC update etc.)
1. OSFG updates: Tracy Van Brakle OSFG is in preparation for the F2F, as well as getting more tactical and practical with some of the open source reference designs over the past few month
  1. Open Source workshop:
    1. 02-20: David Kinsey [AT&T] there will be a presentation cannot share it right now. It needs to be presented at the opening session at the F2F to the TSC. Will be able to share it then at next week TOC call. At the ETSI SNS4SNS Telefonica presented this archetypical golden loop that there are flows to open source, and from open source, and that goes both from the specification bodies and the testing bodies. In OSC we are missing those. We send our feedback back to the specification bodies. But they don't give us any direct feedback. And so there's a recommendation for the working groups to become more involved in the open source activities that are active in their area, and OSFG would help or provide that gateway for that communication, and some agreements or alignments would have to occur between OSFG and those working groups unless working groups are willing to reach out and and talk directly with the open source communities. So there needs to be an engagement on the specification side to the open source communities. The other side of the thing is testing. Our OTICs do plugfests, and other activities; but from an open source community we would gravitate to do things like hackathons, in various flavors as how to use the software, how to to leverage the software, how to develop the software etc.. The activity to organize and put on a hackathon are similar activities for a plugfest. So OTICs might facilitate and support hackathons, and provide a feedback loop. Additionally, other open source communities can submit their software to an OTIC for badging or testing for compliance if they are following O-RAN specifications. The 3rd leg is about over a dozen different players on the field, that all are somehow related, or in the conversations around O-RAN. Today they're all disorganized and not building to a common blueprint. So the recommendation is to have this workshop to have those communities come together and work out how to best align these projects so that the work done is more focused. However, like OSC who has its mandate from from O-RAN to demonstrate their architecture and execute on their specifications. Any other open source communities that would be part of this common blueprint has to sign up this mandate. These are what the workshop is going to be geared towards trying to achieve. At the F2F there will be a couple sessions on the planning of such a workshop. The workshop can co-locate with the F2F just like the 6G workshop in the past.
    2. 02-13: David Kinsey [AT&T]OSFG is working on an open source workshop. See if we can get a bunch of the open source projects related to O-RAN, or might be related to O-RAN, or could be related to O-RAN and and try to get them together and discuss how they can play together. Goals of the workshop are to get the projects to align and commit to a blueprint. There'll be a couple of sessions for planning at the F2F for that.
  2. O-RAN SCCL enforcement:
    1. 01-23: Jakub Novy [DTAG]mentioned test/demo was in progress. Artifact release process is to be reviewed by all.
    2. 01-16: OSFG Part complete but had discussion about the post-process and how to publish on public site from ORAN. Test build to be scheduled by @Martin Skorupski Publication release process was already reviewed by Jakob and Martin. huangjinri@chinamobile.com to add an agenda item to explain the process for the TSC Opening Session at the Face to Face meeting. David Kinsey [AT&T], Jakub Novy [DTAG], Martin Skorupski to come up with wording for the description based on SCCP repo. and existing draft.
    3. 01-09: O-RAN Process being submitted to OCOP. Need to understand how publication to OSC occurs.
  3. Collaboration with OAI (lab interconnection) and Nephio
  4. OSFG - OSC/OAI integration in furtherance of Super Wireless RAN blueprint Tracy Van Brakle.
  5. Face-to-Face Meeting
    1. 02-20:
      1. F2F sessions link 2025-02 O-RAN F2F Paris updated to include more details, such as the OSFG discussions with various WGs, and demo details, etc. With Sally Cooper's help one can upload the demo video to Youtube at this video link. Only the OSC sessions are available to public on Zoom (demo sessions on the RSAC Zoom Bridge, and TOC on the TOC Zoom bridge), and OSFG meetings are for O-RAN members on their WebEx. AP: James Li to reach out to Irfan Ghauri (EURECOM) to find out detailed agenda for each of the four OSFG sessions for David Kinsey [AT&T] to coordinate with his other sessions and ensure his availability for those related to the open-source workshop.
      2. Lobby demo to demonstrates the full use of both OSC and OAI for an actual O-RAN implementation from the radio and the management (SMO) all together. Got some pushback from EC and now it's going through the process of mail approval from EC board members.
      3. bimo fransiscus asisi: 1) needs transition of ownership of the it/dep repo (James Li will work with him on this); 2) status of ASN.1 compiler – hasn't heard back from Nokia. Not sure whether it needs to escalate to TOC to change to a different one (currently use the one that OAI uses); 3) break down of the end-to-end integration use case of energy saving, perhaps will discuss at RSAC; 4) update the calendar of the TOC meeting as it shows the wrong time (supposed to be 10 pm instead of 9 pm Taipei time). Martin Skorupski has similar issue with RSAC meeting schedule on calendar when it was moved by 1 hour. Sridhar Rao will help.
    2. 02-13:
      1. Martin Skorupski3 sessions scheduled for OSC, one on Wednesday 2/26, and two on Thursday 2/27. The TOC meeting on Thursday is scheduled as usual, but the bridge will be open 15 minutes earlier but starts at 9am EST.
      2. The lobby demo at the F2F is a joint OSC/OAI demo, with OAM, Non RT RIC and Simulators from OSC, and CU/DU from OAI.
    3. 02-06: Martin Skorupski created F2F preparations here: 2025-02 O-RAN F2F Paris that covers the sessions with WGs (agenda not finalized yet, at least one with WG1 on decoupled SMO; SCCL discussion with WG2 and WG6, Martin Skorupskiwill reach out to WG11 as well; could be an interesting topic about machine readable testing results with TIFG), as well as a page for OSC demos (should have enough for 90 minutes demo session).
    4. 01-30: The lobby demo was finalized (3x30 minutes demos); Asking for 2 sessions of OSC but some items missing. Martin Skorupski to reach out to the working groups to get 30mins on their sessions/calendar.
    5. 01-23: Face-to-Face Meeting planning in progress
      1. Demo will be remote hence requested Internet Access
      2. Requires one demo session. Discussion about various Working Groups for input. Need to get this topic on their calendars and David Kinsey [AT&T] can help Martin Skorupskiachieve this.
    6. 01-16: Face-to-Face Meeting planning in progress
      1. Noted that Sridhar can attend.
      2. Lobby Demo write-up with short description of demo
        To be approved by EC for meeting next Wednesday. Draft developed on the call and huangjinri@chinamobile.com to finalize with Martin & Sridhar to provide feedback. David referenced the O-RAN Handbook section 2.4.2.2 for guidelines. Demo name to be confirmed along the lines of 'OAI/OSC Feature Integration' with DU/CU/SMO with configurations on DU, O1 Get Request to CU and OFH M-Plane as a stepping stone for the Super Wireless Blueprint.
    7. Other
Old Business
1. Tooling Changes

    3. 01-09 Would like Sridhar Rao to be invited to March F2F OSFG/OSC sessions. He will need a visa so we need to start this soon.
  3. INT - bimo fransiscus asisi
    1. 02-06: bimo fransiscus asisi has a quick reminder for everyone that slack will be the main platform for communication, especially with PTLs. Please let him know if you have issue regarding using slack as project updates.
    2. 01-23: Intel's internal test case fails. Ray-Guang Cheng looking for TM500 configuration. NTUST blocked and further progress will be delayed due to the lunar new year holiday.

    4. 01-09: Ray-Guang Cheng: Problem with integrated O-DU not communicating with TM-500. David Kinsey [AT&T]:Need project help to debug. RSAC to help do incremental builds to identify when disconnect occurs: 1) ODULOW → TM500 2) xFAPI->ODULOW→TM500 5) ODUHIGH->xFAPI->ODULOW→TM500. Need to isolate since all three components indicate they don't have a defect but integrated build doesn't work.
    5. ASN.1 Fix
      1. 01-16: Still open - Status remains the same due to absence.

Our OTICs do plugfests, and other activities; but from an open source community we would gravitate to do things like hackathons, in various flavors as how to use the software, how to to leverage the software, how to develop the software etc.. The activity to organize and put on a hackathon are similar activities for a plugfest. So OTICs might facilitate and support hackathons, and provide a feedback loop. Additionally, other open source communities can submit their software to an OTIC for badging or testing for compliance if they are following O-RAN specifications. The 3rd leg is about over a dozen different players on the field, that all are somehow related, or in the conversations around O-RAN. Today they're all disorganized and not building to a common blueprint. So the recommendation is to have this workshop to have those communities come together and work out how to best align these projects so that the work done is more focused. However, like OSC who has its mandate from from O-RAN to demonstrate their architecture and execute on their specifications. Any other open source communities that would be part of this common blueprint has to sign up this mandate. These are what the workshop is going to be geared towards trying to achieve. At the F2F there will be a couple sessions on the planning of such a workshop. The workshop can co-locate with the F2F just like the 6G workshop in the past.
    2. 02-13: David Kinsey [AT&T]OSFG is working on an open source workshop. See if we can get a bunch of the open source projects related to O-RAN, or might be related to O-RAN, or could be related to O-RAN and and try to get them together and discuss how they can play together. Goals of the workshop are to get the projects to align and commit to a blueprint. There'll be a couple of sessions for planning at the F2F for that.
  2. O-RAN SCCL enforcement:
    1. 01-23: Jakub Novy [DTAG]mentioned test/demo was in progress. Artifact release process is to be reviewed by all.
    2. 01-16: OSFG Part complete but had discussion about the post-process and how to publish on public site from ORAN. Test build to be scheduled by @Martin Skorupski Publication release process was already reviewed by Jakob and Martin. huangjinri@chinamobile.com to add an agenda item to explain the process for the TSC Opening Session at the Face to Face meeting. David Kinsey [AT&T], Jakub Novy [DTAG], Martin Skorupski to come up with wording for the description based on SCCP repo. and existing draft.
    3. 01-09: O-RAN Process being submitted to OCOP. Need to understand how publication to OSC occurs.
  3. Collaboration with OAI (lab interconnection) and Nephio
  4. OSFG - OSC/OAI integration in furtherance of Super Wireless RAN blueprint Tracy Van Brakle.
  5. Face-to-Face Meeting
    1. 02-20:
      1. F2F sessions link 2025-02 O-RAN F2F Paris updated to include more details, such as the OSFG discussions with various WGs, and demo details, etc. With Sally Cooper's help one can upload the demo video to Youtube at this video link. Only the OSC sessions are available to public on Zoom (demo sessions on the RSAC Zoom Bridge, and TOC on the TOC Zoom bridge), and OSFG meetings are for O-RAN members on their WebEx. AP: James Li to reach out to Irfan Ghauri (EURECOM) to find out detailed agenda for each of the four OSFG sessions for David Kinsey [AT&T] to coordinate with his other sessions and ensure his availability for those related to the open-source workshop.
      2. Lobby demo to demonstrates the full use of both OSC and OAI for an actual O-RAN implementation from the radio and the management (SMO) all together. Got some pushback from EC and now it's going through the process of mail approval from EC board members.
      3. bimo fransiscus asisi: 1) needs transition of ownership of the it/dep repo (James Li will work with him on this); 2) status of ASN.1 compiler – hasn't heard back from Nokia. Not sure whether it needs to escalate to TOC to change to a different one (currently use the one that OAI uses); 3) break down of the end-to-end integration use case of energy saving, perhaps will discuss at RSAC; 4) update the calendar of the TOC meeting as it shows the wrong time (supposed to be 10 pm instead of 9 pm Taipei time). Martin Skorupski has similar issue with RSAC meeting schedule on calendar when it was moved by 1 hour. Sridhar Rao will help.
    2. 02-13:
      1. Martin Skorupski3 sessions scheduled for OSC, one on Wednesday 2/26, and two on Thursday 2/27. The TOC meeting on Thursday is scheduled as usual, but the bridge will be open 15 minutes earlier but starts at 9am EST.

    3. 02-06: Martin Skorupski created F2F preparations here: 2025-02 O-RAN F2F Paris that covers the sessions with WGs (agenda not finalized yet, at least one with WG1 on decoupled SMO; SCCL discussion with WG2 and WG6, Martin Skorupskiwill reach out to WG11 as well; could be an interesting topic about machine readable testing results with TIFG), as well as a page for OSC demos (should have enough for 90 minutes demo session).
    4. 01-30: The lobby demo was finalized (3x30 minutes demos); Asking for 2 sessions of OSC but some items missing. Martin Skorupski to reach out to the working groups to get 30mins on their sessions/calendar.
    5. 01-23: Face-to-Face Meeting planning in progress
      1. Demo will be remote hence requested Internet Access
      2. Requires one demo session. Discussion about various Working Groups for input. Need to get this topic on their calendars and David Kinsey [AT&T] can help Martin Skorupskiachieve this.
    6. 01-16: Face-to-Face Meeting planning in progress
      1. Noted that Sridhar can attend.
      2. Lobby Demo write-up with short description of demo
        To be approved by EC for meeting next Wednesday. Draft developed on the call and huangjinri@chinamobile.com to finalize with Martin & Sridhar to provide feedback. David referenced the O-RAN Handbook section 2.4.2.2 for guidelines. Demo name to be confirmed along the lines of 'OAI/OSC Feature Integration' with DU/CU/SMO with configurations on DU, O1 Get Request to CU and OFH M-Plane as a stepping stone for the Super Wireless Blueprint.

New Agenda Items (New Business): New Items Submitted (+speaker) & Open Call to TOC For Additional Items
1. 02-13: presentation on “Analysis of Opensource Near-RT-RIC” by Rimedo Labs. The presentation PPT at the meeting is not yet available, but a copy of the latest draft report can be found here
2. 01-23: MoU between LFN and O-RAN Alliance: Closed Out
3. 01-16: MoU between LFN and O-RAN Alliance: Back on track after a 2 month delay. Closed out wording between the STFG, OSFG and OSC. To be approved by legal and the EC. Final step is to send back to the LFN and create Press Release.
4. 01-09: MoU between LFN and O-RAN Alliance: work still in progress on next weeks OSFG agenda. James will provide David with latest draft to try and expedite changes.
5. 12-19: MoU between LFN and O-RAN Alliance : work in progress with remarks from OSFG expected in preparation of the press release. We have some wordings concern about OSC present in the MoU. We need to confirm it before publishing it. OSC was already using ONAP Code and recently we are also working with Nephio. We are not happy with the statement that may be understood like "OSC should part of LFN". The MoU should be high level and not going specifically focusing on topics like Security (which is already known point for OSC). James Li will send an email to OSFG.
6. 12-05: Memorandum of understanding between O-RAN and LFN is under preparation with OSFG

O-RAN-related business (marketing, WG interaction, TSC/EC update etc.)
1. OSFG updates: Tracy Van Brakle OSFG is in preparation for the F2F, as well as getting more tactical and practical with some of the open source reference designs over the past few month
  1. Open Source workshop:
    1. 02-20: David Kinsey [AT&T] there will be a presentation cannot share it right now. It needs to be presented at the opening session at the F2F to the TSC. Will be able to share it then at next week TOC call. At the ETSI SNS4SNS Telefonica presented this archetypical golden loop that there are flows to open source, and from open source, and that goes both from the specification bodies and the testing bodies. In OSC we are missing those. We send our feedback back to the specification bodies. But they don't give us any direct feedback. And so there's a recommendation for the working groups to become more involved in the open source activities that are active in their area, and OSFG would help or provide that gateway for that communication, and some agreements or alignments would have to occur between OSFG and those working groups unless working groups are willing to reach out and and talk directly with the open source communities. So there needs to be an engagement on the specification side to the open source communities. The other side of the thing is testing. Our OTICs do plugfests, and other activities; but from an open source community we would gravitate to do things like hackathons, in various flavors as how to use the software, how to to leverage the software, how to develop the software etc.. The activity to organize and put on a hackathon are similar activities for a plugfest. So OTICs might facilitate and support hackathons, and provide a feedback loop. Additionally, other open source communities can submit their software to an OTIC for badging or testing for compliance if they are following O-RAN specifications.
