Notes

1. Updates and Status
   
   Jane - TSC approved our API portal server budget request
   Jane - Regarding dual or single landing page, they want API subcommittee to decide at some later point
   Jane - TSC election upcoming 1 Sep -- Jeff Brower (API subcommittee member) is running
   Jeff - Jason with Zededa and Aaron recommended adding LF Edge “Edge Access” taxonomy graphic to Scope and Assumptions section of WP, we did that. TSC has approved the WP #2 for final style/format prep and publication
   
   
2. Wipro customer inquiry about API related info
   
   Jane - email received from Abhi with Wipro (Tina forwarded it to api@lists.akraino.org). He’s looking for API related information, including (quotes in blue text):
   
   
   1. How does the API work end to end ? 
   2. What are the pre-requisites before I can call these APIs? Like- some action from Operators
   3. Do we have any open source product/solution where these APIs are already implemented and ready for use within MEC app? E.g. Nokia MEC has these platform APIs (Location Service, RNI, QoE, etc.)  but it is not opensource.
   4. Do we need different APIs for LTE, LTE-CUPS and 5G?
   5. API test framework (in simulated environment)
   6. Sandbox with supported APIs

Jane and Tapio replied to him so far
Jane - good example of where API portal might be able to help
Jeff - highlighted Aaron’s email about API portal. He likes the idea

3. API Portal update

Jane - notes on page construction, disclaimers when leaving to 3rd party sites. xmind vs. mindmanager discussion
Jeff - let’s get the portal organized and to point where it can help customers
Jane - suggest to focus initially on Edge Enabler API related content
Doug - can we build in some type of API normalization; i.e. for APIs that do similar thing but have different parameter formats
Jane, Doug - discussion on fixed 5G
Tina - what is difference between WP #2 Edge Enabler and Edge Enabler presented in PCEI blueprint architecture ?
Group discussion - PCEI hyperscaler oriented, WP #2 Telco 5G oriented
Jeff - is the PCEI enabler more like an application enabler ?
