New Business

  • Release timing discussion



  • - Potential performance cost
    - Could release 1.9 with documentation on these known issues
    - Veltris can research the C++ port timeline in more detail, assuming it's in 1.9.2. How long will testing really take?
    - Lucas proposes holding off release of 1.9 until patches are available
    - Bruno points out that fixing C may take as long as C++

  • https://github.com/magma/magma/issues/15383
    • Really good mindshare but OVS Sidecar or whatever for AGW needs to be figured out. Connect5G will figure this out as part of Kubernetes migration and come back with investigation result.

  • New proposals
    • Yogesh suggests adding some open PRs that were not planned for inclusion
  • Bug Bounty Program
    • Som has researched LF policy and found that if we make any substantial changes to a bounty item, like bumping up the amount of an existing bug bounty, we need to coordinate with LF.
    • Som to find out the amount that we got approved.
  • Starter Kit (we have updates of estimated cost – Som Sikdar ) The following assume a purchase of 10 units which seems to be minimum ordering number so far from vendors)
    • Radio (exact model TBD - we have candidates) - $ 15000 (for ten units)
    • Magmacore controller:
      • Mini version (4x Arm A53) - approx $ 10K
      • Maxi version (beefier processor) - approx $ 25K
    • This is for a pool of 10 kits that will be shared among the community (we still need to figure out FOB point)
    • Community members will be able to procure directly from vendors
    • TSC needs to decide on final numbers and send a formal request for funding and the logistics of the proposal to Linux Foundation
    • Need to research:
      • Mini vs maxi vs both
      • Buy vs share
