=Meeting Notes=

==1/27/14-1/28/14 OCP Summit V @ San Jose Convention Center==

===Day 1 -- "Ready" vs. "Certified"===

'''OCP Ready'''
*Ready is executed via self tes*ting from respective hardware vendors
*Should be considered a software only toolkit
*Not a comprehensive certification
*Should be included as a subset of OCP Certified
*Purpose is to lower the barrier of entry of OCP Hardware
*Goal is conform to OCP Hardware Management Spec (Insert link)
*'''[Question]''' - Should recertification take place as OCP Ready iterates? (example: 1.0->1.1)


'''OCP Certified'''
*Certification is executed by certification Labs (ITRI/UTSA)


'''What is the scope of the certification?'''
*'''[Question]''' - Are we certifying a motherboard/Model/Sku/Bios Rev/Firmware Rev?
*Configuration should be "Max configuration"
*'''[Question]''' - How do we handle different components?
**HDD Amount vs. HDD Configuration vs. Memory Population vs. Memory Amount
**We should look to put ownership on vendor to create respective Hardware Compatibility Lists (HCL) or Approved Vendor Lists (AVL) for sub components
*'''[Question]''' - How do we handle configuration proliferation?


'''What are we trying to solve?
*Needs to be clearly defined


'''OCP Labs'''
*Cost of certifying (yet to be determined by OCP Foundation) is a revenue source for OCP
*Official determination of certified is done by OCP, not respective Labs
*'''[Question]''' - During certification, if a test fails, how do we notify vendor?
*'''[Question]''' - How do we handle bios/firmware upgrades with respect to previously certified systems?
**Possibly not charge for recertification?


'''Action Items:'''
*Work out structure for maintaining and publishing for both Ready and Certified Packages
*Provide documentation for Disposable OS (DOS) for USB Deployment
**Joel Wineland
*Identify what "Max Configuration" means, in terms of hardware to test?
**Example: Populate all HDD bays, Memory slots, Mezz slots


===Day 2 -- "Use the email list more!!!"===


'''Wiki'''
*Pull Ready/Certified to top of the page (Main Page)
*Move minimum documentation and need that within certified


'''FAQ'''
*'''[Question]''' - What does the customer need to know?
*'''[Question]''' - What is minimum criteria?
*Should look to focus more so on community driven support
**Possibly look to establish a '''community based forum''' for OCP users to collbaorate/discuss deployments and reference diagrams.


'''Software Framework and Tools'''
*We should look to move these into Ready/Certified respectively and maintain as apart of the respective release cycles


'''C&I Branding and Marketing'''
*Hugh is now in charge
*Needs to be defined
*Internally we should look to evangelize/market C&I within the OCP Foundation in order to gain recognition and support


'''Training'''
*Remove


'''Project communications'''
*Remove, responsibility is taken on by OCP Foundation


'''Pre-certification "Tested Configuration" repository'''
*"Doesn't belong but don't forget"


'''Ecosystem Optimization'''
*'''[Question]''' - Thao, is this ok?
