it was not clear if the plugin was going to be contributed to the Quantum

<br><font size="3">Hello Folks,</font>
<br><font size="3">I am interested in the use of OpenFlow technology with OpenStack.
But honestly speaking, I have no deep expertise in OpenStack.Then let me
ask questions.</font>
<br><font size="3"> </font>
<br><font size="3">Q1) In order to use openflow features with OpenStack,
such as, Open vSwitch or OpenFlow capable HW switches, can I assume that
all I should do for this is to develop a quantum plugin module
for openflow under nova manager ?</font>
<br><font size="3">Q2) Are there any open-source codes of quantum plugin
for openflow ?</font>
<br><font size="3"> </font>
<br><font size="3">Any advice would be greatly appreciated,</font>
