2017.11.16 LCOO General

Accomplishments, lesson learned and next steps from Sydney Summit

Was Birds of a Feather not needed or maybe too early?

• ERIS project moving forward: 2017.11.15 Specialty ERIS
• LCOO Monday session next steps:
• LCOO Recruiting interviews

BoF was useful to let interested LCOO members get to know each other.

ERIS project had a couple of dedicated sessions and will move forward to start a SIG

- Specific topics for at least the next two (3 would be better) Topical sessions LCOO Topical Session Proposals

- Set dates AND TIMES for the next 2-3 topical sessions. Can we adopt a rotation of meeting times that is more equitable to all?

- Set the agenda for next 2-3 topical session.

- - - What is the objective for the topic (what do we hope to get out of it?)?

For security topical session - Objectives could be:

Objective #1 RBAC(Role Based Access Control)  - What projects are needed? Patrole (RBAC testing) came out LCOO in 2016, what is needed, more on Patrole or new projects?  Moon (OPNFV project providing an External Policy Decision Point with associated developments already embedded in Keystone roadmap) .

oslo.policy is a library for RBAC for OpenStack projects (but not yet commonly used)

Objective #2 Security screening - Additional projects/tools or entry into the CI process needed to screen core projects or all projects for security vulnerabilities.

Objective #3 Security frameworks we need to comply with. Next steps - list session to continue from Austin on this topic

Objective#4 Key Management
