Hi. As discussed at the summit[1], there are much requirement for
topology as a service that stores/provides information of physical
network topology in one place.

In order to make progress, I'd like to discuss issues which were raised
at the summit. I also created etherpad page and wiki page for this[2][3].

- IRC meeting
  For starter, how about having IRC meeting?
  I propose this time slot
  June 4 Wednesday: 5:00am UTC- #openstack-meeting-3
  My time zone is JST(UTC+9)

- Should this service be a separated service from Neutron?
  Although I originally created blueprint/specs for neutron extension[4][5],
  it was argued that this service should be a separated service from neutron
  because it is useful not only for neutron, but also for nova, ironic, gantt
  and so on without neutron.

  To be honest I don't have strong opinion on this and I'm fine to
  start incubation process.
  Are there anyone who helps as core-reviewer? I need help for
  incubation process. Otherwise I have no choice except staying in
  Neutron.

  Chuck, could you please elaborate on it and/or provide any pointers for it?

  http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-February/026868.html
  I found only the pointer.
  As long as I understand from this link, what TripleO needs is something like
  - compute-node has multiple nics
  - those nics are connected to same switch
  - the configuration of the switch (properly configured)

- API and data models are under review as [5]
