Work Areas and Project Streams

There are many concurrent projects under development in the Forum.

Although they generally fall under the Work Areas and experienced guidance of the Directors many involving SDN management, DevOps, software and testing draw upon existing and new work across the groups. The current practice has become to drive new work from promising end-user or operator use-cases leading to rapid deployment ahead of formal definitional work.
