New Agenda Items (New Business): New Items Submitted (+speaker) & Open Call to TOC For Additional Items
19-12: 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.
12-05: Memorandum of understanding between O-RAN and LFN is under preparation with OSFG
12-05: Letter of intent between AT&T and O-RAN regarding the funding of the lab. AT&T will send out the purchase orders for the tools.
12-12: Part of the budget planned for this year (VIAVI) and a second wave is next year (Keysight). O-RAN is funding, AT&T is purshacing. Adjustment of the End User License Agreement to authorize the tools .
11-21: Martin Skorupski ETSI #SNS4SNS observations
ETSI Basically had four projects. Each with a nice logo and they hosted what they called a Hackfest in which they gave tutorials on how to use the code in those projects.
The Hackfests brought more people in to get more adoption and more participation. They gave everybody a T-Shirt.
During breaks there were 11 demos and poster presentations but the presentation space was quite crowded.
They had one called 5G MAG with the same problems as us with young models and SDO license. For them they found a way to inject the material at runtime.
There seemed to be a lot of interest in SCCL
There were other projects there from LF like Nephio and Camara
11-21: David Kinsey [AT&T] My observations from ETSI #SNS4SNS
Diversity and Fragmentation are different. Diversity is needed Fragmentation should be avoided a balance is needed.
Positive feedback from ETSI SNS on SCCL, recognize we need to work with 3GPP to even recognize the problem.
We need to find a way to get our software "Trusted"
OSM wants to move from NFV model to an intent based, declarative approach
Nephio was explained, strong dependency on K8s, uses a package artifact specific to Nephio
Some comparisons between 3GPP APIs and Camara APIs.
O-RAN-related business (marketing, WG interaction, TSC/EC update etc.)
OSFG discussions huangjinri@chinamobile.com
O-RAN SCCL enforcement:
Collaboration with OAI (lab interconnection) and Nephio
OSFG - OSC/OAI integration in furtherance of Super Wireless RAN blueprint Tracy Van Brakle.
Other
11-07: David Kinsey [AT&T] in the upcoming next week, a presentation with ETSI about SSL to influence 3GPP and others to use the same mechanism.
11-07: David Kinsey [AT&T] we need to think about what to bring to the F2F lobby from now (60 days delay - end of december)
11-14: Tracy Van Brakle in progress completing build up OSC integration Lab that serve as deployment testing lab for reference opensource design. Expected to run before EOY 2024. Waiting O-RAN approve the funding.
