Yes, I agree. We do want to be upstream going forward.

For the Juno cycle our modest goal is that users will be able to deploy our
software with an unmodified OpenStack Juno. On the OpenStack side this only
requires a simple VIF type (Nova) and ML2 mech driver (Neturon). Behind the
scenes we are doing a lot of work together with the upstream QEMU community
to make this possible.

Hopefully we will be able to expand our upstream OpenStack ambitions in the
K-cycle. Looking forward to setting the next goals in Paris :-).

Currently our project is relatively new and unknown, but I hope there will
be a lot of involvement within the OpenStack community going forward. Our
goal is to create a practical NFV solution that is 100% open source and we
hope this will be useful to a lot of people. (http://snabb.co/nfv.html)

P.S. Thanks for the reminder about modular ML2 agent!

Cheers,
-Luke
