<div>Hi,</div>
<div>A few months back we started to work on a umbrella spec for Vmware networking support (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/105369">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/105369</a>). There are a number of different proposals for a number of different use
cases. In addition to providing one another with an update of our progress we need to discuss the following challenges:</div>
<ul>
<li>At the summit there was talk about splitting out vendor code from the neutron code base. The aforementioned specs are not being approved until we have decided what we as a community want/need. We need to understand how we can continue our efforts and not
be blocked or hindered by this debate.</li><li>CI updates – in order to provide a new plugin we are required to provide CI (yes, this is written in stone and in some cases marble)</li><li>Additional support may be required in the following:
<ul>
<li>Nova – for example Neutron may be exposing extensions or functionality that requires Nova integrations</li><li>Devstack – In order to get CI up and running we need devatck support</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<div>As a step forwards I would like to suggest that we meeting at #openstack-vmware channel on Tuesday at 15:00 UTC. Is this ok with everyone?</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div>Gary</div>
