Minutes

  • Welcome Martin Jackson from Walmart - new Platinum member
    • Working internally to grow expertise in this space
    • Looking to understand strategy and direction of LFN at this stage

 

  • Developer & Testing Forum Feedback
    • PLEASE take the Survey if you attended - closes on the 17th
    • Feedback from the technical event
      • Strong interest by communities - often had 3 parallel tracks - perhaps a different platform for non-interactive presentations - focus technical events on interaction/brain-storming
      • Maybe a YouTube channel that can be used for more presentation based info
      • Developer advocacy videos - demo showcase, project lead interviews, live-coding sessions, interactive meetings/discussions
      • FD.io planning deep dive webinars
      • Would like all presentation recordings on the YouTube as well
      • Each community should have its own channel as not to flood the LFN level channel, making it difficult to navigate
      • 4-5 community members from each community should have YouTube keys

 

  • EUAG Discussion and Planned Collaboration Session 
    • 2 presos at the Dev event
    • How can we ger vendors and operators together to better exchange information
    • Meeting on the 17th is on the TAC calendar - 1430 UTC 17 Feb 2021 
    • Beth Cohen operator data is obviously sensitive info and challenge is presenting data in an anonymous fashion

 

  • TAC Lifecycle Documentation draft Review 
    • doc in draft translating the service tier spreadsheet to a narrative is in draft by LFN Staff
    • Will be discussed on the list once ready

 

  • Next version of LFN Technical Whitepaper Ranny Haiby
    • 2021 Whitepaper Workgroup
    • Need volunteers to contribute - 1-2 hrs. per week for ~8 weeks
    • Contributors also include folks that need to review content
    • Project reps please mentioned at your next TSC meetings
    • Brian Freeman  - eval of SolarWinds type of attack on supply chain
    • Martin Jackson - Supply chain attacks is top of mind for enterprise - this was already FUD in the enterprise space. Should discuss it head on.

 

  • Interaction with other communities Brian Freeman
    • LFN needs clarity/documentation around where LFN's interaction is with other foundations (LF-Edge, LF-AI, etc.)
    • Specific wiki page a logical step
    • Heather Kirksey - although we've tried many of the organic cross- pollination conversations that would normally occur at an event just don't materialize during virtual events.
    • topic for a future meeting

Action items

  • Casey Cain overview the YouTube channels for LFN and projects structure in TAC prior to delivering the keys to the project communities 24 Feb 2021 
  • Jim Baker reach out to LF-AI to attend the meeting on the 17th 11 Feb 2021 
  • LFN Staff ask communities what expectations they have of the next whitepaper 24 Feb 2021 
  • Kenny Paul add cross community awareness and documentation as a future meeting topic (4 weeks out) 10 Feb 2021
