title	BBF Quarterly Newsletter	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.

A word from Robin Mersh, Broadband Forum CEO:

At the time of my first meeting, in Athens in 2006, we were known as DSL Forum and became Broadband Forum when DSL Forum joined with the IP/MPLS Forum. During my time of leadership at Broadband Forum, total fixed broadband users have risen from below 300 million to more than one billion. I have seen the broadband community become truly global, witnessed the birth of the Internet of Things and seen connectivity become considered as the essential fourth utility alongside water, gas and electricity..."

Broadband Forum uses a collaborative suite of tools created by Atlassian. These tools allow our members to collaborate real-time across the industry and across the globe.

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.

To determine if your company is a member of the Forum please see our Membership Listing page here.

*Please note that login credentials from 2017 and earlier are not recognized on the Wiki or Broadband Forum's other Atlassian tools. Please Sign Up to create a new account or contact Broadband Forum staff with questions.
