Minutes

Release Cycle

• A voting resolution has been presented for TSC approval regarding the release window.
• When should we start our release window?
  • May/June - Oct/Nov?
• The May release of Contrail is a good candidate to start.

GitHub

• A resolution has been presented to the TSC to adopt the GitHub Toolchain for the Docs repo

Release Planning

• A resolution has been presented to the TSC to adopt the Release Distribution and Milestone Proposals as a part of the official Release Plan.
• Please participate in the TWS and mailing list discussions regarding the release planning
• Casey asks that TSC members work with their development teams to review and participate directly in the release plan discussions happening on the TWS call and mailing lists.

Virtual Event

• Should we cancel the technical meetings next week?
• Sukhdev Kapur is working on a proposal for CNTT/OPNFV SDN solution.  Recommends participating in the discussion during the virtual event.
• #agree TSC agrees to cancel the technical meetings next week to attend the Virtual Technical Events next week.

Technical Meetings

• What can we do to increase engagement on the TWS and TSC calls?
  • Should we change the meeting time?
  • What can we do to get more of the developers working in the background to be more active participation on these calls?
• SA/VMB: Should we have a user-centric "working group" or meeting?
  • Although Slack is a channel for that, this might be a good place to let users help other users and also get feedback for features (for the TWS)
