We had our first meeting at 1600 UTC.  Here's a quick check of the 
dependencies for Oslo:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Python3Deps

Feel free to update it.  We started with Oslo because everything else 
depends on it, but obviously we need to fill in the other projects too.

The big blockers seem to be eventlet (gevent doesn't do Py3 either), 
MySQL-python (maybe switch to pymysql), routes, and iso8601 (looks small 
and easy to fix).  There are also some packages that I couldn't quickly 
find Python 3 information about.
