• Network Operations and Implementation: what guidance can be given to accelerate the deployment of new technology that meets the timescales and  most pressing requirements of service providers

• Network Migration: what valuable information, guidance and assistance can be given to regional and local service providers (especially as auditing members of the BBF)

From Mike Bugenhagen

Here I would go after describing the “life after the software pivot”….

Rough outline …   (the idea here is to teach people how to think about what the BBF produces)

Topic  -     Agile/  NetOp’s … Just how do these work (They are cloud terms,  not a marketing term)

Sectional concepts  –                                       

• Philosophy of Code reuse & Standard controller / API code (agile code dev).
  • 80% re-use / 20% integration = velocity
• Philosophy of “the Stack”
  • Modular controller / functions that you integrate into your solution (no more frameworks – it’s a living wall)
  • The Data store is the key, everything else is modular
• Making the Pivot – (you can’t get there if you don’t take a few steps)
  • What are the systems & data bases
  • What controllers & code can we use
  • How do I hire / budget and progress our Netop’s
• Top down vs. Bottom up
• Enabling automation via Meta-Class

                                Top Down vs. Bottom up

                                Simplicity, customer focus, and Automation
