Action Item Follow-up

• Mailing list mapping to top-level lists: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/bAGDAQ

• Casey asked PTLs and community members to make sure that they map their mailing list to a "top-level" name or list

• It was suggested that we use Kernel, Application, etc for lists. 

Release

• Neon SR3 candidate ( https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/releng/view/autorelease/job/autorelease-release-neon-mvn35-openjdk8/334/ ) @Anil Shashikumar Belur will send an email about this and we will take it from there

• Sodium SR2 is coming up in 16/jan/20

• Magnesium middle checkpoint by 06/jan/

TAC Rep Election

• Please remember to vote in the TAC Representative Election

Joint DDF

• We need to decide which of the 4 joint events in the year ODL would like to join.

  • We should have a vote about this just after the new years.

Service Releases

• How many SRs should we have? Some folks are suggesting fewer SRs due to the release overhead.

• @Anil Shashikumar Belur thinks that this should be related to the number of fixes going in.

• @Luis Gomez Palacios and @daya kamath feel 3 SRs are not needed by them.

• Need to send an email to the mailing lists to solicit feedback on how many SRs are appropriate? 1 SR, 2 SRs or 3 SRs (current number).

CentOS Distribution

• @Anil Shashikumar Belur asks do we need a CentOS Distribution? How many downstream consumers (e.g. ONAP) are pulling our packages? And what format? Presently intg/packaging tests are failing because the tests are written on python 2.7, which requires to be ported to python 3.5/3.6. 

• @Luis Gomez Palacios pointed out that having ODL packages on CentOS upstream is, in fact good for the project and would be a good idea to push every release upstream on CBS repos.

Ubuntu Version

• @Anil Shashikumar Belur Ubuntu 16.04 is going to be EOL on April 25th, 2020. Any project using a 16.04 image should move to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

• All ubuntu 16.04 images will be removed from the infra on April 25th, 2020
