Event Details

OpenStack is recognized as the de-facto standard for the Virtualized Infrastructure Manager(VIM) for Telecom/NFV use cases and there are multiple activities around this topic.

Challenges the session searches solution for:

• Telecom/NFV requirements and use cases are covered by multiple groups within and external to OpenStack
  • OPNFV
  • Telecom/NFV Operators Functional Team
  • Large Contributing OpenStack Operators (LCOO)
  • Product Working Group (PWG)
  • ETSI NFV
• Overlapping with Massively Distributed Clouds WG and Large Deployment Team
• The role and way of working of the different groups is not always clear
• It can be hard to identify where to enter the related requirements and use cases (where’s the entry point and what’s the process to follow)
• The collaboration between the groups is not or loosely defined

Goals of the session:

• Briefly identify the role of each group represented on the session
• Provide space and time for people from each group to discuss the ways of better collaboration
• Come up with best practices and guidance for people who're looking into joining the community and interact with these groups
• Provide the possibility to users and developers to voice their feedback about the operation and collaboration between these groups
