2015/04/29
  • Driver framework overview (Thomas)
2015/04/15
  • How many releases back should ONOS be supported? Now and in future.
    • Current decision is to support 6 months back (current and previous release) for bugs and 1 year back for security fixes
  • What should be the policy & process for deprecating Java APIs?
    • Deprecate in one release, remove in the next?
  • Nursery core & API to allow incubation and separability
    • Use @Beta annotation
2015/04/01
  • Table Pipeline API & drivers (Ali)
  • Overview of distributed application subsystem (Thomas)
  • Overview of distributed configuration subsystem (Thomas)
  • Call for re-write of sample applications using intent subsystem
  • Open discussion on future topics
2015/02/18
  • Axing the trivial stores
    • The trivial stores are no longer useful since the distributed stores have been completely functional for a single instance.
  • Performance testing scenarios
    • Flow system tests varying amount of work while varying the amount of communication.
  • Bundle karaf with ONOS?
    • This would make installation easier.
  • Improved Support for multi-tables.
    • Provide a sort of SelectorService which would return a "pipeline template" for the device the user wants to install a flow on.
2015/02/04
  • Tunnels or Virtual Links
    • There are a number of use cases and applications that want or need this abstraction; discuss some high level approaches.
