ONAP is a key project for service providers and I will focus my energy to make ONAP a success. Acting as a TSC member, I would like to accelerate the ONAP deployment in production focusing on the key requirements and to bring more technical topics within the TSC.
Best Regards
In the past 2 years, I have been serving on the open source communities extensively, including the contribution to ODL,working as the Open-O project TSC, and leading China Telecom contributions in ONAP Benchmark sub-Project. Meanwhile our team established ONAP Lab at China Telecom, successfully achieved vCPE use case E2E connection based on ONAP Beijing Release. Also I was the main contact for the past Casablanca Developer Event hosted in Beijing. And currently, I am ONAP EUG member and LFN MAC member, created and kept promoting the ONAP Tencent Channel.
I would enjoy the opportunity to continue working in the ONAP community as a TSC representative, and engage myself in improving ONAP maturity and accelerating its potential adoption by operators as the de-facto automation platform.
Moving forward, I want to help accelerate ONAP’s move to a meritocratic community and build additional bridges and stronger ties to other projects – within (i.e. to OPNFV, FD.io, PNDA, ...) and outside the LFN (incl. CNCF), including:
- Making Lab-as-a-Service available to the ONAP community
