TST Meeting experiment request

VERSION
-------
 o Reconnaissance for a TST meeting request re: job/tag creation.
 o Bump VERSION to a release value to verify tag creation.
 o Exercise github release script prior to final build.
 o github-release stage failed last attempt but that was
   likely due to presence of a *-dev suffix.
 o This job is cosmetic, simply being run for creation side effects.

.onf/nop
.onf/README
-----------
  o Removed lingering files that were added to trigger nop jenkins jobs.
