As a member of the TAC, Abhijit worked with Frank Brockners of Cisco to formalize the process to elect a committer representative to the LFN Board. This process was voted upon and approved by the LFN TAC. He was also involved in the development of the LFN's Technical White Paper.

As the OpenDaylight TSC Chair, he has presented OpenDaylight at various conferences including ONS, North America, ONS Europe and Linux Foundation's OSN Networking Day in the Bay Area. He was the project lead for the OpenDaylight OpenFlow plugin project since its inception till the start of the Oxygen release as well as a committer on the TTP project. He has been elected to the OpenDaylight TSC in all the committer-at-large TSC elections since the 2016 term. During the 2017 TSC term - he came up with and evangelized the idea of calendar based ODL release schedules which is now being implemented in Oxygen and beyond. He is technical lead for Ericsson OpenDaylight efforts and works in the Technology department for Ericsson's SDN unit.

  • Statement of Intent

Abhijit plans to continue being among the vocal members of the LFN TAC to ensure that OpenDaylight's interests are taken care of by the LFN. While not continuing as the TSC Chair, Abhijit thinks he has sufficient bandwidth to work as ODL representative to the LFN TAC assuming the current TSC Chair does not have bandwidth.
