Open Stack

Ryota,

Thanks for your invitation. Unfortunately I did not join the summit. Wish
you had a good time and enjoy the summit ;). However I am really interested
in your baremetal + SDN solution. Would you mind elaborate a bit more about
the architecture and design of the solution?

Regards,
Tim
