I wanted to remind the team that summit session proposals are due by the end of March. <br><br>You can submit your proposals here: <br><br><a href="http://summit.openstack.org/">http://summit.openstack.org</a>.<br><br>A couple of reminders:<br>* It is not about who proposed first. If we have multiple proposals for the same topic, the sessions most likely will be merged.<br>* We want to have a good balance of community projects vs shiny features. Community projects are projects that benefit the community as a whole (i.e. metadata service, db migration, L3 multi host).<br>* Design sessions are a good way to discuss, build consensus and recruit others to help with implementation.<br>* If you have a mini-topic make a note in your proposal. Mini-topics are something we'll spend around 15mins discussing.<br><br>Here are a few of the topics that would be good candidates to discuss in Portland:<br><br>* How can we make Quantum Simpler (™) For deployers? For developers?<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>* How do we make it easier to deploy Quantum in common cases?<br>* Improved Unit Testing<br>* Improved Tempest Testing<br>* Improved Quantum API Testing in Nova<br>* Improving Quantum Documentation<br>* L3<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>* IPv6 Support<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>* Pluggable IPAM<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>* ACLs<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>* richer NAT API (tcp/udp port forwarding)<br>* Modular L2 and L3<br>* Database Improvements (how to handle trunk chasers, model extensions)<br>* Full Multi-Host L3<br>* Device management and scheduling for services<br>* DNS and Quantum<br>* Bare-metal<br>* Physical Switch Interactions<br>* SR-IOV<br>* VPNaaS (important to separate use cases: site-to-site, sslvpn, mpls-vpn)<br>* LBaaS (how do we extend upon the foundation created in Grizzly)<br><br>Have something that's not in the list? This list does not cover everything, so feel free to propose it on the summit website.<br><br>I hope you're excited as I am for the Grizzly release, and I'm looking forward discussing Havana Portland,<br><br>mark<br></body></html>
