The OPNFV project is somewhat unlike other collaborative projects hosted at Linux Foundation. Rather than being the home for a specific single piece of technology, OPNFV works with multiple upstream open-source communities in a bid to compose a complete Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platform.
In a video with Enterprise Networking Planet , OPNFV director Heather Kirksey explains how the organization is governed and how it builds platforms. OPNFV is currently scheduled to release its Colorado platform on September 22.
“Our job is to figure out how to compose a platform and figure out how to make the components we compose it out of better,” Kirksey said.
