Greetings
open
source
friends,
open
source
program
manager,
Brian
here,
thanks
for
tuning
in
today
today
we're
going
to
be
discussing
project
Silva.
You
know
you
may
remember
the
launch
of
project
Silva
from
last
November
when
the
project
announced
its
plans
to
create
an
open
source
telecommunications
community
on
gitlab.
Today,
we're
checking
in
with
the
project
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
it,
see
at
how
it's
doing
see
how
its
work
is
progressing
and
to
learn
how
you
can
get
involved
in
this
really
great
and
important
project.
A
B
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Let's,
let's
dive
in
and
start
right
at
the
beginning
in
case
this
is
the
first
time
that
folks
are
you
know,
hearing
about
project
silver.
They
missed
the
announcement
last
November
describe
it
for
us
summarize
what
it
is
and
and
what
it
does
and
explain.
Maybe
a
little
bit
why
it's
important.
Why
we
need
this
project.
B
It
has
some
issues
because
it
was
in
in
the
initial
stage
I'm
from
Portugal
last
year
in
Portugal,
and
we
had
an
attack
in
Vodafone,
a
very
serious
attack,
and
this
this
is
being
a
pain
also
in
the
in
the
Telecom
operators.
Also,
the
shift
has
we
were
having
in
terms
of
network
functions,
so
the
things
that
that
in
an
operator
makes
you
to
do
a
call
or
to
have
mobile
data.
These
are
changing.
These
were
physical
Hardware.
They
passed
to
Virtual
machines.
B
Now
they
are
containerized,
and
these
these
this
journey
is
not
easy,
and,
and
this
bit
not
easy,
and
a
lot
of
paints
appeared
with
with
the
journey
with
companies
such
as
Telecom
operations
has
more
than
100
years
and
the
lack
of
automation
with
all
of
these.
It's
difficult
to
do
automation
again
with
companies
that
are
very
old
with
needs
to
deal
with
the
Legacy
and
all
these
planes
were
tackled
and
were
thought
by
the
main
carriers
in
Europe,
but
also
some
Network
providers,
so
they
gathered.
B
So
everything
that
goes
on
top
of
this
framework
needs
to
be
validated
to
create
the
what
we
call
the
homogenization
of
the
cloud
and
this
project
will
not
only
bring
benefits
for
the
Telecom
operators.
This
is
this
is
very
important
in
terms
of
ecosystem
and
to
bring
new
people
to
to
this
world
as
Telecom
operators.
B
This
was
for
for
some
kind
of
network
function
providers.
This
can
bring
new
people
and
in
the
5G
there
is
some
interesting
Network
functions
that
are
containerized,
that
that
is
analytics,
and
these
open
completely
the
the
ecosystem
to
any
developer.
That
wants
to
to
to
to
have
an
idea
and
to
communicate,
but
also
to
explore
the
functionalities
that
the
network
has
for
a
very
cool,
very
cool
apps
for
the
system.
B
We
can
also
create
the
distribution
of
silver
and
to
to
support
the
deployment
of
of
The
Operators
and
everyone
being
as
an
expert
for
the
other.
Nfl
providers
is
the
to
have
these
obtain
this
information
over
the
taco
guide,
so
everyone
already
or
info
provider
can
be
validated
on
Silver
and
can
act
to
to
have
a
to
work
for
the
operators
or
also
for
the
edge
and
what
is
really
important.
Also,
we
see
the
taco
cloud
and
that's
a
consistent
to
evolve.
B
So
in
terms
of
Technology,
these
we
were
having
and
seeing
with
before
silver
a
slow
Innovation,
but
with
the
open
source-
and
we
all
know,
with
the
open
source
opening
to
everyone.
This
will
create
more
Innovation
will
open
to
more
ideas,
the
more
ideas
we
have
more
Innovation
we
will.
We
will
bring
in
terms
of
business,
of
course,
in
terms
of
proprietary,
Solutions
and
lock-in.
This
will
open
and
will
be
a
more
open
ecosystem
and
cheaper
and
in
terms
of
Regulation
and
security.
B
This
is
also
very
important
because
this
will
have
the
backup
of
everyone,
firstly
here
in
Europe,
and
we
hope
also
to
to
the
world
to
be
to
don't
have
issues
in
terms
of
regulations.
This
is
very,
very
known
in
the
industry
that
the
operators
has
a
strong
regulation
and
we
need
to
have
because
the
security
and
our
data,
everyone
has
the
data
in
a
mobile
phone,
so
it
needs
to
be
regulated,
needs
to
be
secure,
but
this
is
important
because
we
know
on
this
ecosystem.
B
There
will
be
a
regulation,
it
will
be
certified
in
terms
of
Regulation.
It
will
be
certified
in
terms
of
security
so
to
wrap
up
all
of
these.
In
a
nutshell,
the
leading
carries
in
Europe
are
bringing
and
are
working
with
these,
so
now
they
have
more
than
12
contributors
since
November
the
ecosystem
have
grown
a
lot
from
Network
vendors
from
system
integrate,
there's
other
vendors
people
outside
of
Telco.
They
are
participating
and
it's
great
to
release
this
Cloud
software
and
the
validation
Center.
B
But
this
Innovation
is
possible
because
of
the
network,
openness
and
fossil
by
the
5G
and
every
developer-
and
this
is
important-
can
have
the
next
big
idea
with
with
these,
and
we
want
to
promote,
like
WhatsApp
maneuver
appear
in
4G
and
and
mobile
data
availability.
So
when
disappeared,
new
ideas
appeared
here:
silver
wants
to
Foster,
also
that
and
in
5G
we
are
not
only
connected
so
so
4G
bring
us.
The
connectivity,
5G
will
bring
more
will
be
bring.
The
connected.
B
Experience
will
bring
in
a
new
layer
a
new,
a
new
way
to
direct
between
each
other.
So
Silva
is
the
fundamental
step
for
this
to
happen,
and
we
wanted
to
to
to
make
this
happen,
to
create
this
ecosystem
of
innovation
and,
of
course,
to
create
this
layer.
This
framework
to
be
possible
for
everyone
to
have
more
ideas
and
and
to
change
the
world
for
a
better
place.
Of
course,.
A
Yeah,
absolutely
thanks
for
that's
a
great
summary.
I,
really
appreciate
that
and
it's
it's
an
exciting.
It's
an
exciting
chapter
and
it's
exciting
project
and
it's
exciting
to
see
the
Telco
industry
get
involved.
It's
a
it's
a.
It
represents
a
fairly
common
story.
I
think
we
see
in
open
source
in
other
Industries
right
where,
where
you
know
major
players
realize
hey,
you
know
we.
We
can
gain
a
lot
if
we
share
right
instead
of
everybody.
A
Their
own
wheel
right
and
why
don't
we
open
up
our
non-differentiating
software,
the
stuff
that
we
all
need?
That
was
not
you
know.
Real
business
driving
you
know
stuff
for
us
share,
build
a
common
platform,
a
common
set
of
protocols
that
we
can
all
build
on
top
of
and
provide
different
differentiating
value
generating.
A
You
know
activity
and
we
actually
win
that
way
right
by
sharing
and
collaborating
on
a
common
infrastructure.
We
can.
We
can
actually
not
only
really
do
business
better,
but
we
can
innovate
faster.
As
you
said
right,
we
open
we
open
a
space
for
new
ideas
right
to
come
faster
because
we're
not
all
working
on
sort
of
keeping
the
lights
on
we're,
sharing
that
that
load
right.
So
it's
a
common
scenario
and
it's
just
really
exciting
to
see
the
the
telcos
that
you
mentioned
get
involved.
A
B
B
A
lot
of
people
are
contributing,
so
this
this
enabled
for
to
ramp
up
and
to
have
to
have
outstanding
results
since
since
now
from
from
the
release
that
to
from
June
2022,
because
the
project
was
having
some
some
developments
before
November
to
now
so
we
we
integrated
a
lot
of
use
cases,
so
we
tested
for
the
open
run.
Cnfs
open
rain
is
the
openness
of
the
rent
of
the
rent
part.
So
it
was
a
really
black
box
for
The
Operators.
B
Now
it's
being
distributed,
and
we
already
tested
this,
this
containerized
network
functions.
We
opened
also
to
test
it
with
the
5G
core,
some
applications
on
the
5G
car.
That
is
the
mobility
that
is
the
first
one
that
is
going
to
see
to
make
your
calls
and
having
your
location
and
knowing
all
this
stuff.
B
Also
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
free
5G
car
that
was
also
tested,
that
is
important
to
see
also
other
open
projects,
but
also
in
terms
of
security
that
we
had
a
lot
of
features,
the
central
authentication
and
that
we
implemented
and
the
the
pki
integration
and
the
Conformity
evaluation
in
terms
of
kubernetes
distribution.
We
have
the
r
key
and
RK
E2
and
containers
vanilla,
and
our
E2
in
terms
of
performance
is
the
SR
iov
and
dpdk
and
in
terms
of
storage.
B
Also,
we
have
the
longer
and
in
terms
of
automation,
we
already
have
the
script
to
deploy
the
multi-cluster,
kubernetes
management
and
rancher
in
bare
metal
and
bare
metal
automation.
We
also
have
the
deployment
model
in
the
continuous
service
and
reference
architecture,
for
the
Linux
induction
architecture
and
in
terms
of
testing.
We
also
have
with
the
kubernetes
and
look
at
X
testing
and
the
deployments
with
the
container
as
a
service
in
bare
metal
and
and
also
in
the
vsphere
and
openstack.
So
it's
it's
a
lot
for
for
November.
B
B
So
we
want
for
this
to
be
the
most
heterogeneous
possible,
but
also
to
bring
the
network
functions
and
test
the
network
functions
for
for
the
5G
core
to
to
begin
to
have
this
validation
so
people
to
begin
to
use
it
and
to
do
to
do
some
kind
of
box
and
some
box
are
appearing
with
these.
Some
cool
parks
are
appearing
in
in
terms
of
mobile
private
networks
that
is
being
used
for
this
for
cool
use
cases,
but
first
we
need
to
test
it.
B
We
need
to
see
if,
if
the
automation
is
done,
but
we
had
right
now,
the
first
production
ready
last
month-
and
we
wanted
now
to
to
begin
to
test
it
to
do
some
box
and
to
to
have
more
people
to
test
it,
and
but
until
now
it's
a
it's
a
very
cool
Innovation
and
very
fast.
So
we
are,
we
are
receiving
and
congrats
to
to
the
team
and
I
can
do
it.
B
Right
now
we
have
we-
we
divided
this
in
in
working
groups
as
we
call
it
and
the
major
participants
on
the
on
the
working
groups.
We
have
the
Telco
Cloud
stack
that
is
being
led
by
Matthew
by
by
orange
the
validation
center
that
is
being
led
by
Louise
from
tulfonica.
The
security
is
theophil
from
Orange
e
and
the
Energy
Efficiency
by
Nokia,
and
then
with
the
communication
and
adoption
is
myself
from
self
focus
and
the
governance
also
still
feel
from
from
Orange.
These
are
the
main
people
in
the
in
the
project.
B
Then
we
had
a
lot
of
contributors.
There
is.
There
is
Wind
River
the
there
is
also
a
Huawei
that
that
is
participating,
HP,
varnish
capgemony
with
Works
Intel.
We
can
Excel,
you
know
and
followers
such
British
Telecom
and
Airbus.
So
it's
it's.
It's
a
big
ecosystem.
Right
now
we
are
really
happy,
but
the
more
people
that
want
to
join.
We
are
very
happy
to
join
us.
It's
it's
not
ever
enough
participates
of
this
kind
of
projects.
Yeah.
A
Fantastic,
there
are
a
lot
of
names
there,
so,
let's
just
you
know,
you've
had
some
Great
accomplishments
in
a
seemingly
short
amount
of
time.
What
surprised
you
most
about
this
kind
of
work
specifically
about
you,
know
kind
of
taking
this
particular
approach.
You
know
this
is
sort
of
a
more
Innovative
approach
for
work
in
a
in
a
you
know,
older
industry,
like
telecommunications.
What
surprised
you
most
about
doing
this
kind
of
work
in
the
open.
B
Well,
I
think
you
replied
a
bit
in
your
question
is
to
be
on
the
Telecom
operators
ecosystem.
So
this
kind
of
stuff
normally
are
very
closed
and
for
many
years
operators
were
very
close
and
did
their
own
developments.
There
are
requirements
if
you
were
a
vendor
to
talk
with
an
operator
and
talk
to
another
one.
It
was
a
completely
different
world,
yeah
and
I.
B
Think
the
most
surprising
right
now
is
the
cooperation
and
the
cooperation
for
everyone,
so
everyone
is
working
with
the
same
goal
and
this
will
not
pressurize
their
in
terms
of
business
case.
This
is
really
nice
and
and
I
think
to
have
this
click
on
the
industry
to
say
together
we
go
further,
I
think
it's
amazing,
I.
Think
in
terms
of
of
the
thing
that
surprised
me,
the
most
was
that
and
and
it's
good
to
see
how
everyone
is
cooperating.
B
So
normally
people
are
very
suspicious
in
this
in
the
projects
not
sharing,
but
we
understand
that
sharing
will
improve
the
Innovation.
The
people
that
are
also
participating
will
improve
will
increase
their
knowledge,
and
this
was
not
normal
in
this
in
this
kind
of
industry,
and
this
by
far
is
what
surprised
me
the
most
on
the
work
that
is
being
done
right
now,
so
we
work
really
as
a
team.
Of
course,
we
we
have
our
companies,
but
we
work
as
a
team,
and
this
is
great.
A
Yeah
great
and
then
you
know
to
follow
that
up
what
about
challenges?
You
know
obviously
there's
a
long
road
ahead
for
your
road
map.
What
what
are
the
things
that
you're
facing
right
now
that
are
good,
you
think,
are
going
to
be
the
biggest
challenges
for
the
the
ecosystem
and
and
for
the
the
community
in
the
months
and
years
ahead.
B
B
These
projects
and
the
Linux
Foundation
has
a
lot
of
projects
that
we
can
benefit
and
the
latest
one
is
nephew
that
that
we
are
collaborating
and
look
at.
We
also
collaborating.
So
we
don't
want
to
overlap,
and
these
are
the
main
challenge,
because
normally
we
we
know
our
project
and,
for
instance,
I.
We
don't
know
in
detail
the
other
process
and
we
need
to
collaborate.
This
sometimes
is
the
alignment
that
needs
to
to
be
done,
but
I
think
it's
normal
in
the
beginning.
Also,
the
other
people
don't
know
really
well
silver.
B
They
they
have
a
the
eye
level
idea.
So
the
main
challenge
right
now
is
to
explain
to
everyone
in
the
community
for
the
Linux
foundations
for
The
Operators
to
see
this
is
how
it
works
and,
of
course,
to
adapt,
because
the
industry
and
the
world
also
adapted,
so
it
evolves,
so
we
need
to
to
evolve
and
to
adapt
in
this
ecosystem.
B
So
the
main
challenge,
I
think,
is
this
to
the
first,
the
adoption
to
set
some
adoption
and
to
to
put
these
on
production
in
an
operator,
and
that
is
being
done
by
the
way
and
the
other
is
how
how
do
we
coexist
in
the
ecosystem?
We
don't
want
to
occupy
any
space
we
want
to.
We
have
our
space
cleared
and
we
want
to
benefit
in
the
ecosystem
with
the
other
projects.
I
think
they.
These
are
the
two
main
challenge.
A
Great
great
well,
where
can
you
know
where
can
your
open
your
open
source?
You
are
accepting
contributions.
You
yourself
just
said
you
welcome
new
participants.
Where
can
people
learn
more
about
project
Silva
and,
most
importantly,
if
they
want
to
contribute?
Where
can
they
go
and
how
can
they
do
it
sure.
B
So
it's
very
simple:
it's
on
gitlab
people
can
go
on
gitlab.com
and
the
project
is
silver
Dash
projects
and
you
can
find
it.
You
have
all
the
information
there
and
then,
of
course,
if
you
have
more
information,
you
have
their
emails
to
to
send
it
and
to
begin
the
participation.
The
meetings
occur
in
every
two
weeks
so
two
times
per
month
and
everyone
can
participate,
can
enter
on
on
the
call
and
and
then
to
hear
about
to
see
the
status
and
begin
to
participate.
That's
the
same
way
that
I
begin
to
participate
in
this
project.
