Open Stack

I guess we can assist with this one.
We have the HW needed and a ci environment.
We will be happy to do so.

I need some help to understand the needed in order integrate into os ci.

Who can assist with that?

In particular the focus here is on functionality that can't easily be tested on the public clouds that back the gate, including:

Robert are you attempting similar with regards to Cisco devices? What is the status of each of these efforts versus the four items I lifted above and what do you need assistance with?

It's expected that this will be an interim solution until OPNFV resources can be used (note cdub jokingly replied 1-2 years when asked for a "rough" estimate - I mention this because based on a later discussion some people took this as a serious estimate).
