Hi Qin,

In preparation for your meeting with the drivers team, I suggest we follow as a starting point the Neutron Stadium Governance rules and processes as outlined in the official documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/contributor/stadium/governance.html. In the past, we have re-incorporated projects to the Stadium, like for example in the case of neutron-vpnaas. This document in the Neutron specs repo summarizes how we assessed the readiness of vpnaas for the stadium: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/stadium/queens/neutron-vpnaas.html (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-specs/+/506012). I suggest you start a similar document for fwaas in the folder for the current cycle: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/yoga/index.html. As soon as you can, please push it to gerrit, so we can start reviewing it.

Did I understand correctly that you will attend the drivers meeting on January 7th?

Best regards

Miguel

Hi  Miguel,

I am glad to hear this news. How about our discussion on January 7th, this Friday is not convenient, what do I need to prepare before the discussion, do I need to submit rfe or other descriptions?

Hi Qin,

 

I think that in principle the community will be delighted if you and your team can reactivate the project and maintain it. Probably the best next step is for you to attend the next Neutron drivers meeting (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/NeutronDrivers) so we can discuss the specifics of your proposal. This meeting takes place on Fridays at 1400 UTC over IRC in oftc.net, channel #openstack-neutron. Due to the end of year festivities in much of Europe and America, the next meeting will take place until January 7th. Is that a good next step for you? If yes, I'll add this topic to the meeting's agenda.

 

Best regards

Hi：

 The firewall project is a necessary function when the project is delivered. The lack of firewall function after switching OVN is not acceptable to customers. We intend to maintain this project and develop the fwaas driver based on ovn. Whether the neutron-fwaas project can be reactivate? What should I do ?
