We Need To Work Together

input on technical governance Establish a meritocratic TSC: –More engaged with projects –Comprised of active engineers interested in governance Define a “product management” focused entity: –Helping identify platform feature needs (gap analysis) –May be an evolution of the SPC, but with more technical members Introduce Technical Working Groups – TWG’s –With a chairman and charter on specific areas 12/06/2016

TSC discussion on technical governance TSC discussion resolved the following points: –A meritocratic TSC is not contended, “merit” has yet to be defined. Project engagement seen as a priority –“Product groups” have been shown to be ineffective in open source communities If a “product group” was contributing in some way it may be helpful. –One technical committee function provides clarity to our community. Prefer not to diversify decision functions across the community 12/06/2016

- further topics of feedback Help projects establish good development practices –Help them upstream –Clarify project roles and goals –Terminate idle projects Establish better upstream coordination methods –Co-ordinate on key topics across consortia Reduce the effort required to work with installers Increase the focus on VNF (application) execution 12/06/2016

August/February coincides too closely with key holiday periods. Many projects working through deliverable and cross project planning –Project dependencies addressed as a priority task –A strong community focus on establishing a “post Brahmaputra” process improvement has delayed some milestone measurements tracking to September Final release plan yet to be approved by the TSC.
