http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/243</a> . I don't want to pre-empt it - it's important that the discussion happens in front of as many people as possible - but a 40 minute session won't get us very far if we're all explaining what we've already got.<br>
<br>
I can schedule a webex or two before the summit. I'm not sure where the majority of people are located, but maybe Wednesday 3rd April, 10am PST / 7pm CET / 8pm IDT would suit? Get in contact with me directly if you're interested, and particularly if you have
a solution you'd like to talk about or demonstrate, or bitch on the list if it's not a good time (or alternatively if you just disapprove of the idea).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'm going to send a basic VIF Driver and a config for a network configuration using macvtap as part of Mellanox Quantum Plugin.<br>
We can schedule an online meeting to discuss some of the key points we need to address before the summit.<span style="color:#888888"><br>

... and I know Mellanox have also been working on that particular side of things too. Perhaps we could all get together at the summit before the sessions for a show and tell? We could equally work it all out in the sessions, but it seems it would be hard
to lead a session like that without having some knowledge up front of what other people have done.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

To be fair, our code is basically Vladimir Popovski's (Zardara Storage's) work, tidied up and with a scheduler check to make sure there are actually available SRIOV functions on the node before scheduling. It's there, it's actually a patch against Folsom at
the moment, and it works, but I wouldn't lay claim to it necessarily being the One True Way to implement this (and I don't think it has tests enough to pass a review).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Chuck Short also proposed a design summit session on it, presumably to<br>
discuss implementing it yet another time:<br>

It would be really nice to get some code out in the open for this. :-)<br>
