good quality of that code (vendors) to drive development. And if some<br>
plugins become garbage, it's bad news for specific vendors; if neutron<br>

<div><br></div><div>The Snabb NFV (<a href="http://snabb.co/nfv.html">http://snabb.co/nfv.html</a>) driver superficially looks like a vendor plugin but is actually completely open source. The development is driven by end-user organisations who want to make the standard upstream Neutron support their NFV use cases.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We are looking for a good way to engage with the upstream community. In this cycle we have found kindred spirits in the NFV subteam., but we did not find a good way to engage with Neutron upstream (see <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/116476/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/116476/</a>). It would be wonderful if there is a suitable process available for us to use in Kilo e.g. incubation.</div>
