Minutes
R4 Status and release plans
SIG Release:
On track for Feb 14
Confident on the following stories:
IMS part of the O-RAN contribution
FLuxCD story
platform improvements
Need to follow up on the workload identities (security) story to see if this will get in on time
UI improvements are awaiting review
Release notes under development
SIG Auto:
On track for Feb 14
some issues with the PackageRevision have been triaged and resolved which were blocking the O-RAN IMS contribution
Workload identity story has some failing tests which will hopefully be fixed soon
Platform improvements complete
UI improvements are awaiting review
FluxCD is complete
LFN would like to move the release date forward to help with the planning around it
We can release on Feb 14, but we should move the announcement date to Feb 18 to ensure better engagement
Continue to aim for Feb 14 date
WG6 has been working on a “Nephio and GenAI whitepaper” which can be released at the same time as the R4 release
document is under review with a few comments to clean up - Sunny will review
SIG Updates
SIG Architecture:
Discussion on the O-RAN story has been progressing
Presentation on the WG activities around assurance with a discussion on MVP activities
Discussion on GenAI (later topic)
R5 planning discussions are ongoing, which will be finalized in end of February
Sig Automation:
Increasing contributions and participation in the SIG automation community
Still no vice chair - volunteers from the community needed
Can we have more than one “vice-chair”?
Document clearly the roles and responsibilities so that it is clear what the “ask” is - time commitment etc.
SIG release:
Preparing release machinery for R4 - including automated build for the O-RAN O2IMS operator
If we end up having the end-to-end tests ready we will incorporate that into the release process
SIG Security:
workload identity is the highest priority
Preparing a demo environment to help with pull request analysis
Security scanning - how can we operationalise this?
Security blueprint - towards specific stacks (OAI, Free5gc etc)
creating requirements
Nephio and GenAI - Hackathon discussion
There is an opportunity to hold a hackathon in the Bay area to leverage the enthusiasm in that area with universities etc
looking for a group of volunteers to generate ideas on this - proposed weekly meeting to analyze ideas for user stories to drive at the hackathon
Need to engage with university students, startups etc on this to bring people onboard
Idea is to have some output into nephio-experimental for future release input
Define a date for the activity
Would be good to do this in the Spring, while university students are active - potentially in March / April / May
Volunteers: Phil Porras , balaji varadaraju , Avinash Bhat
Options for logistics (in-person, virtual, etc) need to be proposed
Need to ensure Casey Cain is engaged to line up with other LFN event plans
LFN Events
LFN proposal is for virtual events per project in 2025 - no in-person developer events are being planned
No options to colocate with another conference this year
ONE summit is co-located with Kubecon / CloudNativeCon
Communities who want to do “in-person” events need to:
have a venue for the event
have a plan for remote attendance
Discussions on these topics (hackathons etc) take place in the TAC - next one is on Feb 5th 7am PT
TSC chair / vice-chair position is that a well-planned and scoped in-place event would be desirable in 2025 to continue the momentum from previous events
Sana Tariq and Ciaran Johnston will sync with Casey Cain on potential virtual / hybrid events
