    • need to liaise with AT&T after Zuul setup is more stable 
    • some design differences will make it harder to integrate into existing tests
      • there is communication on the PR 
  • Roadmap
    • Releases changing to monthly, eg 1908 for August 2019
    • still need to bring blueprints into community so we can align releases
    • what is TF's schedule given we are a bit beholden to Juniper?
      • stick to monthlies until we can cut proper releases?
    • edward: which naming scheme should we use? ie, 1907 vs 5.x
    • randy: stick with Juniper's scheme
      • sort of locks us into monthly releasing convention
      • need to explain why the version change
    • bjskerry: shouldn't be too much of a learning curve (smile)
    • will: 1908 doesn't mean we are forced into monthly releases
      • refers more to when the release was cut
    • rudra: 
    • randy: we are still leveraging junipers release schedule/ naming
    • casey: we can diverge from juniper, just a decision for the tsc
    • prabhjot: adopting the release versioning scheme is probably the best idea for the community 
      • we might not need to match the release cycle
    • prabjot: we are pigging backing off of juniper
    • will: we don't have to maintain the same cadence
      • use same release but cut a release every other month
      • when you have an OSS and commercial project based on same code
        • when versioning schemes are different it's hard on users since shared codebase isn't clear
    • prabhjot: from a community perspective, anyone who is evaluating the software is looking for feature sets not upgrade path
    • randy: the communities job is to make TF as successful as possible
      • if we look at TF users, they are carriers using contrail not TF
      • expecting to be able to map commercial to OSS
    • edward: how to vote?
    • prabhjot: how can we be consistent with the scheme?
    • bjskerry: can we do it here or do we need to send it to email
