title	2022 Membership Dues Alert	Q1 Newsletter: Calling for speakers on Energy and Sustainability at the Q2 Town Hall Innovation Series (THIS) sessions!

The first inaugural Town Hall Innovation Series (THIS) sessions at the Q1 Broadband Forum meeting were well-attended by the membership and guest attendees. Greater collaboration between Video Content Providers and Broadband Service Providers to capitalize on broadcasting opportunities was called for, and improved coordination and collaboration between different government agencies and standards organizations was identified to bridge the digital divide across the United States.

The importance of SLA-aware real-time control across optical, computing, and mobile networks was highlighted as a key enabler for 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC). Colorless Multi-Access (CMA) network was introduced as a new frontier, blending the best of access technologies.

Going forward, these Town Hall sessions will take place at each quarterly Members’ meeting, and we are inviting speakers to get involved. Contact us with questions or ideas at info@broadband-forum.org.

At the Q3 meeting, BBF's Work Areas and Open Broadband projects continued to have productive and fruitful meetings with their Broadband Forum colleagues from across the industry. We were delighted to launch the Open Broadband – WWC Reference Implementation for 5G-RG (OB-5WWC) project, which will bring the full benefits of the 5G ecosystem to fixed-line services and create a reference implementation for 5G-Residential Gateways. We invite all members and non-Broadband Forum members to get involved in this work ... Read More .

The Wiki (also known as Confluence) is for administration - meetings, agendas, project descriptions, and more.
Jira is a project management database used to progress BBF projects, and holds draft Working Texts (WTs), contributions, and ballot comments.
Bitbucket is a code repository.
Bamboo is a continuous integration server.

Additional software tools include FishEye, Crucible, SonarQube, Artifactory, and others - these are used for BBF's Open Broadband (OB) work.

All BBF members have access to these tools - Sign up and review our members-only FAQ for more information.
