Hi Susanne--

Regarding the Octavia sessions:  I think we probably will have enough to
discuss that we could use two design sessions.  However, I also think that
we can probably come to conclusions on whether Octavia should become a part
of Neutron Incubator right away via discussion on this mailing list.  Do we
want to have that discussion in another thread, or should we use this one?
