Minutes



Release

Infra

Vexxhost costs

  • Latest update from today is that they are still trying to confirm some things with Vexxhost around billing.  Steve Ira is involved and also looking at improving methods for tracking costs for the projects.  @Casey Cain should have an update Aug 7, 2020 

Managed Projects 

  • @Abhijit K suggests that all PTLs should update the ODL Project Status.

  • @Casey Cain talked about marketing efforts that the project could make to get better visibility into deployments and additional use cases.  

    • Engagement with the EUAG to get additional feedback from our users.

    • Developing for ODL video that could tie together documentation, training and marketing.

    • Refresh the "Using ODL" video?

    • Participating in a badging program and promoting end-users to showcase badging so we can get a better idea of trends and where to focus development efforts.

    • All members have a MAC rep.  More engagement for ODL on the MAC and coordination of marketing strategy across the stack could benefit the project. 

  • @Hema Gopalakrishnan mentions the fundamental issue is attracting more developers - so @Casey Cain suggestions is good.

  • Daya says that while there is some truth in some downstream managed projects being not responsive, it is a 2-way street given where we are in the OpenDaylight project lifecycle rather than just only talking about dependent managed projects. Her point was that the downstreams should have a say on the upstream changes if they introduce a lot of churn in the downstream projects and should have an approval process.

  • We can leverage the TSC Grievance process on Jira to tag community concerns for the TSC to address.
