Hi folks

Thank you for your help > Mark and Jay and Reviewers
I removed all review request for diablo/stable from Gerrit.
And, We will follow community policy.

Current our test code and bug fix is based on stable/diablo.
For each branch. "forward-porting" is needed.

12 bug patch branch is in progress ( they are almost done)
34 bug patch branch is on github(*)
30 test code branch is on github.
(*)https://github.com/ntt-pf-lab/nova/branches

>From next work alter these branches, We will follow the policy (Essex first).

However, for now, we have not enough man-power.
So please help us.
I wrote a script which shows bug description and conflict files and
merge command.
(See https://gist.github.com/1355816)

Each branch is linked to bug report.

If you guys help forward-porting work, would you please assign the bug
for yourself.
(Thanks Jay!)

Naming rule in our repository is like this.
https://github.com/ntt-pf-lab/nova/tree/openstack-qa-nova-(bugID)

For now, There are bugs which is not fixed yet, so test code fails.
So I think we should start from bug fix.

Cheers
Nati
