OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G Org Chart OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Organizational responsibilities (High level) Who decides the strategy and validate the roadmaps, and Marketing actions? Board Who proposes the Marketing plan/actions Marketing Committee Who proposes the roadmap? Technical Committee (TC) TC aggregates all the “project” roadmaps to present to the board OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Organizational responsibilities (High level) Who is managing and integrating the contributions? Technical Committee Who executes the roadmap? Projects on voluntary basis Every project has its own roadmap OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Organizational Chart (2) The Board of directors : 1 President, 1 general secretary, 1 treasurer, + 2 from Founding (Eurecom), + 1 per strategic member 2 meetings per year Takes care of the legal and financial organization Defines the strategy, votes on the Technical Committee and Marketing Committee decisions OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Organizational Chart (2) Marketing Committee 1 Chairman 1 Delegate per strategic member Technical Committee 1 Technical Manager Delegates from any member (strategic, associate, individual) in charge of leading the Strategic Areas Delegates are approved by the Board of directors TC is also in charge of leading the integration process OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Technical Committee (TC) and Projects OAI Projects are proposed by the community and the alliance members Projects are connected to strategic areas and proposed to the Board for validation by the Technical Committee Each project can define its Project Management Committee that reports to the TC.

OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G Project Structure (1/2) What is an Alliance Project? A project to develop a new feature/extend OAI towards future 3GPP release At the end or during interim stages of project, its outcome must be merged to “develop/master” branch of main openairinerface5g/openairCN repository It can be also pure documentation based to conduct feasibility studies It can also prepare OAI stack towards flexible implementation of 3GPP study/work items It must have clear outline of goals/deliverables/roadmap for at least one year It must be sponsored by at least one strategic/associate member. The sponsor guarantees minimum set of human resources for proper execution of the project Ideally it should be backed by one industrial + one non-profit organization for good mix of academia + industrial interests Project Management Structure Project Management Committee (at least a Project leader) Committers OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Project Structure Recommendations (2/2) Project Management Structure Project leader Is nominated by Project Management Committee (PMC) (every year by voting) Responsible for developing roadmap (1 year) with TPC Ensure quality, documentation, testing of project meets general OSA guidelines Project Management Committee (PMC) Comprises of representatives of alliance members (strategic + associate) Responsible for developing roadmap with Project leader, TPC Reports to TPC through project leader (every quarter) Responsible for meeting project quality in terms of (coding guidelines, documentation, workflow, etc) Developers Community members who have write access to project repository and do the actual development Users Community members who simply “use” the project code All the project communication must happen publicly, except in some exceptional circumstances OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G

Example Project Structure Project location (must include all the branches, gitlab issues, etc): https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/groups/oai/project.git Project Wiki (must include roadmap, mailing list, spec, documentation, etc): https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/groups/oai/project/wikis/home OAI - Open-Source Solutions for 5G
