(Som Sikdar ) Accounting process related review
As of April, 2024 Magma has ongoing expenditures in these three areas
Cloud costs related to dev (mainly CICD and test)
Bug bounty
Certain TSC-approved dev projects with specific milestones
It is expected that these expenses will continue for the rest of 2024
We have sought guidance from LF regarding
what accounting line item to use for these expenses for these invoices
what is the approval process? For example, is recorded TSC approval adequate or do we need to get prior approval from LF, possibly with PO numbers?
Additionally, the budget may not have funds allocated along the proper line items and LF has been asked to advice how to reallocate funds
In absence of a governing board can we request the Technical Advisory board of LFC to reallocate funds as needed

Release timing discussion
- Potential performance cost
- Could release 1.9 with documentation on these known issues
- Veltris can research the C++ port timeline in more detail, assuming it's in 1.9.2. How long will testing really take?
- Lucas proposes holding off release of 1.9 until patches are available
- Bruno points out that fixing C may take as long as C++https://github.com/magma/magma/issues/15383
Really good mindshare but OVS Sidecar or whatever for AGW needs to be figured out. Connect5G will figure this out as part of Kubernetes migration and come back with investigation result.

Mac-OS large runner PRs was tried but the builds are still failing. Working with LF team with admin permissions on Github in order to bump up disk space.
Ubuntu Regular runners (free) were tried but getting stuck with disk space
Next step is to run the Ubuntu Large runners but might need help from the admin.

Yogesh suggests adding some open PRs that were not planned for inclusion
Bug Bounty Program
Som has researched LF policy and found that if we make any substantial changes to a bounty item, like bumping up the amount of an existing bug bounty, we need to coordinate with LF.
Som to find out the amount that we got approved.
Starter Kit (we have updates of estimated cost – Som Sikdar ) The following assume a purchase of 10 units which seems to be minimum ordering number so far from vendors)
Radio (exact model TBD - we have candidates) - $ 15000 (for ten units)
Magmacore controller:
Mini version (4x Arm A53) - approx $ 10K
Maxi version (beefier processor) - approx $ 25K
This is for a pool of 10 kits that will be shared among the community (we still need to figure out FOB point)
Community members will be able to procure directly from vendors
TSC needs to decide on final numbers and send a formal request for funding and the logistics of the proposal to Linux Foundation
Need to research:
Mini vs maxi vs both
Buy vs share
Application process
Support
Vendor
Parties who want a unit
POC unit. Carnegie Mellon might be able to test.
Followup: Som to create a framework for discussion
