====== Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra work-package planning ======

Fuel@OPNFV plan for four work-packages and a consolidation period until the Brahmaputra release. Work-package 3 coincide with the overall Brahmaputra official code-freeze (Milestone E). Fuel will apply a soft code freeze policy for the Brahmaputra E-milestone, and will deploy yet another work package (WP4) before the hard code freeze policy is applied. A two weeks' consolidation phase is planned, leading up to the Brahmaputra release.

**NOTE:** The work-packages does not only involve Fuel@OPNFV project work, but equally important commitments and collaborative work from:
  * Collaboration projects seeking integration with Fuel@OPNFV
  * Infrastructure projects like: Releng, Octopus, Functest, Yardstick, etc.

===== Work-package 1 =====
** Status: CONCLUDED **

** Goal: **

  * Rebasement of Fuel@OPNFV core to Kilo and Fuel 7.0 (Experimental branch), including build, deploy, test, OPNFV CI-pipeline, Fuel@OPNFV Developers' CI-pipeline...
  * First integration of Brahmaputra integration/collaboration projects (Fuel plug-ins). Goal is to get 4 projects onboard for WP1. Target system state for the integration is Juno and Fuel 6.1 (master branch)
  * Auto deploy of integrated projects.
  * Fully functional functest for Fuel@OPNFV core.
  * Func-test/Yardstick real or noop verification of integrated projects/plug-ins.

**Content:**

  * [[https://jira.opnfv.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=73&view=null|Work-package 1]]
  * Kilo/Fuel 7.0 merged to master branch, Experimental branch released for Fuel 8.0 work

**Definition of done:**

Passing build-, automated deploy- and partially func-test.

**Due dates:**

  * Latest date for integrated projects to sign-up for WP1: Mon November 2 -2015
  * Latest date for a partially functional plugin commit (merge is not necessary): Tue Nov 10 -2015
  * Latest date for a functional Fuel@OPNFV core demo (Yoytube clip or otherwise): Fri Nov 13 -2015
  * Latest date for a partially functional plugin demo (Yoytube clip or otherwise): Fri Nov 13 -2015

===== Work-package 2 =====
** Status: CONCLUDED **

** Goal: **

  * Collaboration/integration project freeze -** no more OPNFV integration projects than those integrated at this time will be integrated with the Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra release - unless they come with upstream project integration in WP3**.
  * Plugins/integration projects are required to be (re)based on Kilo/Fuel 7.0.
  * Fuel 7.0/Kilo is merged to master and the experimental branch will be used for Fuel 8.0/Liberty rebasing.
  * Hopefully a first alfa version of Liberty/(Fuel 8.0 up stream in work). 

**Content:**
  * Full Kilo/Fuel 7 integration
  * Fully functional plugins based on Kilo/Fuel 7.0
  * Fuel 8.0/Liberty alfa version

**Definition of done:**

  * Passing build-, automated deploy- and smoke-test.
  * Definition of supported system state permutations and working automated deploy of those system states

**Due dates:**

  * Latest date for integrated projects to sign-up for Fuel@OPNFV WP2/Brahmaputra: Fri November 13 -2015
  * Latest date for a functional plugin merge based on Fuel 7/Kilo: Thu Dec 10 -2015
  * Latest date for a functional plugin demo (Yoytube clip or otherwise): Fri Dec 17 -2015

===== Work-package 3 =====
** Status: CONCLUDED **

** Goal: **
  * Stable Fuel@OPNFV core rebase to Fuel 8.0/Liberty in experimental branch
  * Fully functional end-system-state plugins integrated with master/Fuel 7.0/Kilo
  * Soft code-freeze (no further feature code is allowed)
  * Fuel 8.0/Liberty merged with master branch
  * stable/brahmaputra branch created

**Content:**
  * Core Fuel@OPNFV rebased to Liberty/Fuel 8.0 including build, deploy, ci-pipeline, development ci-pipeline, rtc

**Definition of done:**

Passing build-, install- and part of the full func-test pipe-line.

**Due date:** Jan 5 -2016

===== Work-package 4 =====
** Status: CONCLUDED **

** Goal: **
  * Hard code freeze
  * Fuel 8.0/Liberty rebase stable builds based on good/bad commit indications from Fuel upstream CI
  * Fully functional end-system-state plugins integrated with master/Fuel 8.0/Liberty
  * master branch is opened up for C-release development

**Definition of done:**

  * Passing build-, install- and most of the func-test for each of the defined system state permutations.
  * End Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra system state reached.
  * A demo showing the different options-, features and aspects of the Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra end system state (possibly together with Genesis and it's member installers) 

**Due date:** Jan 15 -2016


===== Consolidation =====
**Dates updated!! **

**Project release consolidation and stabilization reviews:**

  * Release review 1: Feb 9 -2016
  * Release review 2: Feb 11 -2016 (GMRC 1 Aproval)
  * Release review 3: Jan 16 -2016
  * Release review 4: Jan 18 -2016 (GMRC 2 Aproval)
  * Release review 5: Jan 23 -2016
  * Release review 6: Feb 25 -2016 (Final release approval)
 
Maintenance reviews will continue until end of life support for Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra support

**Note: Release review** is referred to as the process where the Fuel@OPNFV committers review the actual system stability and decides upon corrective actions. Corrective actions could be any of:
  * Gating commits to the stable branch
  * Assigning a task-force team to perform system stabilization activities/measures
  * Deciding to push features, not enough stable/not meeting enough test coverage to a comming release.
  * Review of documentation and guidelines.
  * Review and approval of deviations
  * Review and approval of maintenance/service release plan.
 

Feature owners/PTLs of integrated projects as well as the lead for the Genesis-, Releng-, Functest-, Yardstick- and Pharos project are expected to participate in the release reviews, but others than Fuel@OPNFV committers lack voting rights in case voting will become needed. As usual, TSC has the final say!

**Definition of done:** Released stable system including documentation, repeatably working ci-pipeline, repeatably passing fun-test, a 48 hours of stability test, release notes with documented deviations.

**Due date:** 
  * Feb 26 -2016: Main release - "brahmaputra/sr0"
  * TBD: SR1 - "brahmaputra/sr1" (Likely end March - with released Fuel 8.0 and high-priority bug-fixes)
  * TBD: SR2 - "brahmaputra/sr2" (Likely end April - with bug-fixes and inclusion of late excluded B-release features)
