     - network visualization/monitoring process

     - per Ildiko, the Neutron team may have been using this - so possibly we could ask them about it's usefulness

     - first scan completed, by hand, identified real issues 
     - ISO scan being automated (Victor & Memo)
     - working on container scanning as well 
- Build (Cesar/Ken)
     - steady as we go, looking for optimizations 
- Containers (Frank)
     - 30 storyboards open - 1 or 2 ready to close - plan is mostly in place, a few items to close - goes out to early June 
     - LP 1820928 - causes application apply to fail, impacts AIO-SX, team is focused on this --- avoid AIO-SX til this bug is resolved

     - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Nr12zDRXf34kpjiA0LsFLU8GIpMY8Y-H2zmiC96CD4A/edit?usp=sharing
     - Does anyone need help?
- we didn't get to this topic, will pick this up in the next Release Planning meeting...
     - Readout from the release team (Bill, Bruce, Ghada)  
         - We have several long-pole items that are anchor features for the release.  
         - The longest is Dist Cloud. 2nd longest is the OpenStack Backport content.
         - We are not going to hit our current dates.  The release team has a proposal.  We have some options
         - Our previous release policy has been to do time based releases.  
                - If we release on schedule we will have several incomplete anchor features and the system will not be stable.  
                - The reality is that we are currently doing a content based release. 
                - Going foward we should decide if we want to be time based or content based, and if the former, 
                  we need to do more upfront work to make sure we come closer to hitting our dates.
         - We can remove content from the release.  
                - The Distributed Cloud content is candidate.  
                - The OpenStack backports are a candidate
         - We can do a follow-on release that adds features (e.g. distcloud) and bug fixes.  
         - If we only ship with Container support and it is stable that would be a big win for StarlingX
         - (Ghada) Still need to work on refining the release back-end plan with focus on the test activities and final bug fixing cyle
         - Not confident the original durations are sufficient. They were based on a much shorter Feature Development cycle.
