General Topic

• Project Meetings page is empty and does not link the calendar

License update with Steve

• Steve Winslow from the LF Legal team provided a review of project license updates and migration options if the TSC wished to pursue any changes.

• The focus of the discussion centered on EPL 1 vs 2 and what it would take to migrate to EPL2.

• EPL2 with a Secondary license or ALv2 relicensing would require consent of every contributors.

  • To be compatible with GPLv2+, the secondary license mention is required. It may be used on portion on codes but would be difficult to add to the wholde codebase.

  • note that the FSF claims here that ALv2 is not compatible with GPLv2 but is compatible with GPLv3. The Apache foundation point of view about this is detailed here .

RelEng Update

• Andy was invited to the call by the TSC to discuss a number of things affecting the RelEng.

  • @Robert Varga asked about the support level expectations that the Community is supposed to be.

  • Andy explained that the LF does not have an 'SLA' with any of the projects but rather the best effort.  

    • The escalation of tickets is "disabled" for the first hour so that tickets are not being immediately escalated.

    • Andy further explained the escalation and on-call services.

• @Robert Varga asked about the resource commitments to the community from the RelEng team

  • Robert further asked if there is a way to track the KPI of how many hours were spent on ODL.

  • Andy noted that there is a IT Summaries released monthly at https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/TAIQAg

• Robert is looking for additional automation around releases and would like RelEng to be supporting those issues proactively 

  • Wants to develop a new set of jobs types to better support the release process.

  • https://lf-opendaylight.atlassian.net/browse/RELENG-156 is the top-level tracker we would like to see resolved

• Andy explained ongoing migrations of RelEng to Jenkins pipelines jobs that would allow a configuration per project repo.
