 Hey, welcome to the OpenStack Summit in Boston. Can you please tell us your name and what do you do? Thank you for having me here. My name is Fadir Maja and I work as principal developer for Ericsson based in Sweden I am also a PNP ambassador working in open source committees. Yeah, so we want to start off with what is OFP and of you doing? OPNP is an open source project, which is open platform format where functions virtualization is an open source project that tries to do system integration and testing as an open community effort. What we basically do is we basically bring in all these different components such as OpenStack, Open Daylight, KVM, FIDO and all these components together and put them together, deploy them on our bare metal labs and test them like as a whole and as a product, which is not generally done by the open source communities, in fact, because all these components can behave normally if they are tested in their own scope, but when you put them together, they might not behave as expected and OPNP tries to do that for all the open source communities it works with. Very cool. Can you explain the cross-community continuous integration also known as XCI? Yeah Since the early days of OPNP, we have been doing this job and we have been putting all these components together in our continuous delegation machinery and our release model is based on stable releases from upstream projects and this model has its flaws and its weaknesses such as if I am a developer who wants to do some bug fixes in OpenStack, for example, or new features in OpenStack, it might take quite some time for those features to be included in OpenStack releases and pulled back into OPNP. This could change between two, three months to six months, which is very slow feedback and which might cause problems for both upstream developers and OPNP developers. We want to cut this time short and ensure that our developers, OPNP developers, OpenStack developers, and any other community developers can do their work on the latest and greatest versions of all these upstream projects and cross-community CI activity was a result of all these learnings we have been doing with OPNP last two years and currently we are working with OpenStack, but cross-community CI is not limited to OpenStack only. Open Daylight, FIDO, ONUP are all other projects we are working with to establish this huge big machinery to help with all these communities we are working with. So what should we expect from the initiative in the next six to twelve months? Currently we have a prototype up and running in OPNP CI which basically takes latest version of OpenStack and deploys it on bare metal. And by this we aim to give a sandbox to our developers, OPNP developers and OpenStack developers so they can deploy OpenStack from latest on master and get quick feedback. Based on these learnings we want to roll this out to wider community within OPNP, within OpenStack and within other communities we are working with such as Open Daylight. For next six to twelve months apart from rolling this out to wider community we want to integrate different components into this cross-community CI such as Open Daylight and FIDO and provide faster feedback to all these communities so they can fix falls faster, implement new features faster, resulting in bringing new services faster in the end.
