Minutes

R4 Release status

• Story status was reviewed in the SIG automation call on Feb 12th. There are 3-4 stories close to completion, the aim is to have these merged by Sunday

  • https://github.com/nephio-project/nephio/pull/844 (O2-IMS)

  • https://github.com/nephio-project/nephio/pull/849 (FOCOM)

  • UI security fix for: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pppg-cpfq-h7wr/dependabot?query=user:nephio-project

• Call to action: ensure that we get plenty of eyes on the PRs to try to catch any issues

• Currently the release plan is for tomorrow Feb 14, with media releases on 18th to allow for SEO

  • request is to delay the release for one week, until Feb 21, to allow for story completion and release processes to complete

  • No concerns raised by the TSC, so this new release date can be considered approved

  • Blog is in good shape

Bala asked for information on the ONE Summit - Sunny will provide that. There is also the Cloud Native Telco Day on the following week, where an LFN booth will be present, and a number of Nephio related presentations

There is a Kubecon in Atlanta where we might plan to have a colocated event

R5 planning

Presented the planning page: R5 Planning

We want to get started as soon as possible after R4 is delivered on implementing R5

The change of the process towards working very closely between SIG Arch and SIG Auto to ensure we have continuity and communication.

We will continue to bring this up regularly at the TSC, as well as to LFN to look for further developer support as promised

Sync on the status when R4 is concluded to see where we are

GenAI hackathon

Those interested in participating can join the WG6 slack channel and the meetings at 9am PT. Volunteers are requested here also.

• looking for potential user stories as a target for the hackathon

• need to identify where we will publish it / target audience

• date

• judges - these will need to also be involved in the planning so they understand the user stories

• support during the event - managing logistics

Support

• reaching out to Casey directly to resolve issues is not the best way - there are formal support flows:

  • Reminder that if you need help with meetings or engaging with the community, send an email to support@lfnetworking.org

  • If you find broken tooling or services seem to be down, please open a ticket at https://support.linuxfoundation.org

Network Architecture - see “release”

Automation - see “release”

Security

Focus on SPIFFE updates for R4

New images are being created on Nephio docker hub - there is a thought to take on regular scanning and providing a monthly security report

We have a FOSSology report where we may need to make an update to ensure we have proper license handling

Action items

Close the action on Bala, aim to close the other two before the next TSC
