Top Achievement Award 

...

Brian has demonstrated unparalleled dedication. At the ONAP Launch, he built demos and wiki pages supported by Marco Platania, focusing on vDNS and vFW.
He also provided a lot of support to the community by answering a lot of questions. He regularly provides his technical perspective for the benefit of the community
Brian was able to demonstrate Clearwater vIMS On-boarding and Instantiation with no code change within a very limited time. He played a pivotal role in our successful Amsterdam release, driving all the testing activities related to the vCPE use cases (testing debugging and fixing any issue that was identified), working jointly with Intel (debugging, fixing), the Integration project and any impacted PTLs including weekends and evening while he has no PTL role and is not a committer for any project.

Catherine Lefevre: WINNER

Catherine has worked tirelessly across many groups and companies, evangelizing ONAP, representing ONAP in various different forums in EMEA & locally. Working closely with Gildas on many aspects of the release and providing support to TSC to help drive various activities to keep release on track.

...

Brian worked tirelessly across many teams and in different capacity from architecture input, use case support, individual projects support, and integration testing support to drive completion and delivery of Amsterdam Project.

Catherine Lefevre: 

Catherine made an outstanding job of assisting the ONAP community by supporting teams from all around the world and in different companies, Not only did she spread the ONAP word within AT&T but she also was a supportive voice for most of the contributing companies to ONAP (Ask people in Orange, Huawei, ZTE, LF, Amdocs … I’m sure they know her – in fact pretty much all ONAP projects have probably discussed with her) She was also supporting the most of the milestone achievement and reached out to find help on many fronts when needed. To me she certainly represents the core value of what an open community should be. She has been supportive in many many aspects (including legal, governance) and for all that I think she deserves the title

Chris Donley: WINNER

Chris has performmmed extremely valuable work in the TSC and ARC. The important works include: education, guidance and review on how to develop and communicate in open source team. Whose behavior really help to create a culture equal cooperation between members, it’s really important for ONAP as a new community.

...

In addition to the code that he was developing in the context of the CLAMP project, Sebastien has increased the test coverage beyond the original test coverage target. He added jUnit test cases in various areas of the project even if he was not responsible of the associated source code.

Seshu Kumar: WINNER

If there is someone who can do something to make a difference and impact positively the community it is Seshu. Seshu played important role in leading SO project reach the critical milestones, esp the M4 and further where the time was critical.  He also helped in resolving some of the blocking issues on time, which helped ONAP deliver the release ontime. Seshu has been the top contributors from the number of commits and ranked amongst the top 5 authors in the ONAP community and has been consistent in his contributions. He has also provided multiple Tech talks on ONAP and SO in various forums and branded ONAP in IIT Madras one of renowned universities.

...

Although this project was not originally part of the ONAP launch and was not identified as a Amsterdam gating project, the CLAMP project delivered all milestones on time. In addition, CLAMP is one of the key components of the Control Loop that it provides the necessary automation to proactively respond to network and service conditions without human intervention. Along the Release, CLAMP always got things right the first time. There is barely anything CLAMP had to redo. The Team is mastering all the aspects of the development lifecycle, processes and tool chain. CLAMP is excellent to get things running as it should, and should be treated as “Best in Class” for all its deliverables.

The Integration Team: WINNER

The Integration Team had a tremendous challenge given it was our first release working together. Integration testing was critically important for success to meet our Amsterdam delivery date. Without it – we would not have had an ONAP Amsterdam release. It is where the rubber meets the road. Validation of the code which was delivered that the different projects do work together and we have a platform as well as running use cases. Along the way thet had to covercome a number of challenges:  The initial lack of pairing testing before they got started, Network connectivity issues to the labs, Unstable hardware environment, The staging repo Gerrit failures.   All the while they accomplished several major achievements:

...

The Multi Cloud design and implements of keystone proxy and extensible API framework which simplified largely the integration between OPENO and OPENECOMP modules.
By keystone proxy, the modules currently depend on OpenStack including SO, APPC, and DCAE can consume Multi VIM/Cloud resource LCM functions by configurations changes which is proven valuable for the tight delivery cycle of R1 and deliver of vFW and vCPE use cases. By the elastic framework, Multi Cloud well supported non-OpenStack functions including FCAPs and provided a way to expose special capabilities from different backends. Based on this framework, Multi Cloud successfully support the requirements from VFC and help the delivery of VoLTE use case.

The OOM Team:  WINNER

The OOM project has made a tremendous contribution to the ONAP project by bringing an overall Operations Manager environment. In addition, with it's first implementation focusing on ONAP On Containers, it provides a significantly more accessible deployment environment allowing ONAP to run on a potential new user or developer's laptop instead of a very large, and expensive set of VMs. These innovations will prove highly advantageous to the ONAP community at large.
