Subject: [Foundation Board] Looking for volunteers to lead Interoperability
	working group
Message-ID: <4dbac683-e397-faf9-44a9-673e74830fe1@openstack.org>

Hi, newly-elected and returning board members,

During the last meeting, Alan called for new volunteers to join board 
committees like the Compensation committee or the Finance committee.

While not strictly a committee, the Interoperability working group 
(formerly known as DefCore committee) is a OSF board working group that 
leads the definition of new versions of our Interoperability guidelines, 
which are used to grant the rights to use various trademarks such as 
"OpenStack-Powered platform".

The group was previously led by Egle Sigler and Mark Voelker, who as of 
2020 are no longer part of the board. Its main task is to get consensus 
on which APIs are necessary to be offered and which sections of code are 
necessary to be run to call your deployment "an OpenStack cloud". 
Technically, that translates into the definition of a set of Tempest 
tests matching the required API calls, so that products and deployments 
can assert the trademark through a suite of tools called RefStack.

This work is critical in driving interoperability between OpenStack 
deployments, which is an essential benefit of using OpenStack software 
in hybrid usage scenarios. Representing all facets of our community, the 
Board is uniquely positioned to define what that consensus looks like 
and evolve it over time.

Who is interested in participating in that workgroup ? I'm available to 
answer any question you may have about the process, and for questions I 
don't have the answer to, I copied Egle on this email so that she can 
bring additional context if needed.

Thanks!

Thierry,
Is the ask for one of board members to take over overseer responsibility for interop group?
Or just have more participation in interop group?
Or something else?

Sure,I had participated in this with Sean Rob and Rocky and aware of the flow, let us review first the 5H1W approach to define 
Collect data points to prove the assumption below.
Why: Interoperability has become need of the hour, under both market, secutity  & privacy and political impact of country first globally.
Who: Service providers seek Interoperability to choose best of the breed clouds for next gen workloads , maintaining legacy and moving to ZTP, CI/CD, LCM to cut Capex, Opex and TTM through Clouded native Build and Deploy cycles.
When and Where: Before SP move workloads  to BM  Containers, CNF from VM and VNFs and use both approaches for Multi and Hybrid Clouds. How soon? Depends between now and 5G scale deployments. All this will show up in their DC at Network Edge as opposed to Central Cloud.
What: Get the CSP and SP or Gov NOCs an Interoperable BM platform with validated Designs for workload movements and hence Interoperable between current ang future Cloud innovations both Multi and Hybrid clouds.
HowOpenStack and Open Infra can play it's role as below.1. Intra OpenStack api confornance status for T+U released. Which Vendors habe motivation to seek compliance for OpenSrack and hence updates needed to Tempest test suites for the Delta or feature gaps.
2. Cloud Interoperability goals to try evolve strategy for BM cloud as part of Open Infrastructure initiative. Will this intrest GSMA CNTT folks and Intel to promote this? Can we use Prowl , ltmg, Jenkins +x along with Zuul working with Metal and Airship , which are part of our eco system?
Other wish list we can add but giving a push to what ttx strongly believes, we need to review and gather resources to address.
With Arkady showing interest I believe Dell, Ericson, Mirantis, Redhat and AT&T should be sought to help themselves through this initiative.
TTX Please find a bridge and let's get intrested members to the call next or weeks as ee plan March F2F board meeting.
ThanksPrakash.

Thanks Thierry.
Either Prakash or me or both will follow with Egle.

I would like to follow on the impact of interop.
Maybe cover it in questionnaire.

Thanks,
Arkady

At this point the group is empty, so I'd say that in order to be successful we need new leaders to take over and drive future guidelines evolution. I'm sure former participants can answer questions and provide some context, but new blood is definitely needed.

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for bringing this up! 

Egle and Mark have done very good work and I want to express my gratefulness to them!

I have participated in that group before, though unfortunately have not been able to do so in 2019.
I am willing and able to participate again, but I don't have the depth that Egle and Mark have. I'm certainly happy to help and be the liaison to the board.

And I fully agree that this WG continues to be very important!

@Egle: Please share your thoughts how this can work out!

Thanks,
-- Kurt

Subject: [Foundation Board] OpenInfra Labs initiative
Message-ID: <7D557D37-4B13-4A82-854F-F5F319228771@openstack.org>

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a quick update on an exciting new initiative OSF is supporting.

OpenInfra Labs (OILabs) is the new effort we've been gradually working to establish in partnership with the Mass Open Cloud <https://massopen.cloud/> (MOC) community. MOC is a well established group that involves five of the top research universities in the world: Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern and University of Massachusetts.

MOC has three interrelated goals: operating a production cloud, enabling more production clouds to be built and enabling industry innovation. OILabs is created with the further goal to expand the existing community and simplify and standardize how different institutions deploy and operate open source cloud and cloud native infrastructure software. Initially, the project will prioritize the needs of the MOC. Longer term the goal is to see more organizations globally (especially in the academic and research space) stand up multiple consistent clouds that can enable hybrid and federated use cases.

The MOC group runs several large cloud environments that are used by thousands of users across the participating universities as well as through a Massachusetts startup initiative. They have created tools to do a lot of this and would like to open them up and collaborate more with other universities and public clouds. They are also big believers in OpenStack and want it to become easier to use in academic and research environments so that people don't just choose hyperscale public clouds or proprietary software options.

OILabs aligns with OSF’s priorities in a few ways:
It's a very direct attempt to improve usability and viability of the core OpenStack services. It also creates OpenStack marketing opportunities through new use cases. 
It's also a direct attempt to integrate OpenStack with K8s and other key open source infrastructure software, especially within the academic market. 
The MOC previously had involvement with a number of our member and sponsor companies, including Red Hat, Intel, NetApp, Dell, Cisco, Fujitsu and Mellanox, so it’s already strategically aligned across the OSF ecosystem. 

So what's next with OILabs? We’ve set up some basic collaboration channels and pushed a landing page: https://openinfralabs.org/ <https://openinfralabs.org/>.

Next week, March 2-3, the MOC community is hosting an Open Cloud Workshop <https://massopen.cloud/events/2020-open-cloud-workshop/> at Boston University that covers several open efforts. OSF will be participating by attending the workshop and community leaders including Mohammed Naser, Julia Kreger and Jonathan Bryce are also leading a few sessions. The full schedule of keynotes, talks, deep dives and BoF sessions is available here <https://massopen.cloud/events/2020-open-cloud-workshop/#Schedulenbsp>. 

As we look into 2020, OSF will focus efforts on helping OILabs collaborate in the open, giving their efforts more visibility, and helping to raise funding for these efforts with an eye towards it becoming an OSF Pilot Project.

If you want to get involved in any of these areas, please let us know.

Thanks,
Claire
