Olivier,

We can all discuss this next tuesday. I think it is essential for everyone to
educate themselves.

If you have additional information which you are allowed to share, then please feel
free to send a link or the actual document(s).

The goal for next week is for everyone to discuss the issue - so that the
TSC can make a formal decision the week after.

Hello Martin, all,

Thanks to share this information. I also got it internally.

From the internal presentation that I read, FRR is concern by this new LFN umbrella. Extract from the presentation:

"The proposal has been approved by OPNFV, ODL, FD.IO, ONAP. PNDA, SNAS and FRR will join as well."

What I could say, is that Orange is officially a Platinum member of ONAP and completely support this new initiative from the Linux Foundation. For us, it is also natural that __all__ Networking projects within the Linux Foundation will join this new umbrella which, of course, concern FRR despite that it is a small project compared to ODL, ONAP and others.

So, we, at Orange, completely support this initiate.

Regards,

Olivier

All,

We got approached by the Linux Foundation about some new "Linux
Foundation Networking Projects" Umbrella they are planning to set up to
combine various network projects.

We (FRR) are a Linux Foundation project, but a lightweight one at this
time, with basically only the assets held by the LF, so very unlike
other projects which had formal companies set up with funding through
the LF etc.

They are in the process to form a new "Linux Foundation Networking
Projects" umbrella and the TSC was approached to see if we are interested
to join this.

I expect the LF wants a decision by around mid December, so I want to
discuss this at the next meeting.

At next weeks meeting (Dec 6) there is ONLY a discussion, no decision will
be made. However, the TSC is likely to make a decision the week after.

Join the call to raise your opinions or just to listen on everyones
thoughts.

From the original meeting invitation by the Linux Foundation to the TSC:

Hello Open Source Networking Project Developers:

The Linux Foundation is proud and humbled to host such a collection of
critical and influential open source networking projects for enterprise,
cloud, and carriers alike. Over the past 5 years these projects have
formed, grown, and matured into key infrastructure components on which
tomorrow’s networking solutions are based.

Through this journey, members across various networking projects have
requested alignment of the business governance and a greater opportunity
for technical leverage and collaboration. To that end, the Linux
Foundation has embarked on a plan to provide a structure that allows for
aligned governance & cross project collaboration while maintaining the
technical independence of all projects.

To explain this exciting opportunity, answer questions, and get your
feedback, we are hosting a pair of Webinars next week on Nov. 6th, and
7th. If you’ve been hearing about “Harmonization”, and/or “Umbrella”
activities and want to understand where we are with those initiatives,
please join us for this Webinar.

If you want more details, then please listen to the recording of the call at
