Hi all,

Just a reminder that M-2 has passed and all Ironic drivers at this point should
have a service account [1] registered in the third party CI wiki [2] per our
agreed spec [3] for bringing third party CI support in Ironic.

If you are being cc'd directly on this email, it's because you're known as
being a maintainer of a driver, and have been previously contacted on November
30th 2016 about this.

By not having a service account registered for the M-2 deadline, you are
expressing the driver is inactive in the Ironic project and therefore the team
will be unable to verify your driver works.

As expressed in the quoted email, if your driver has no CI reporting in the
sandbox by Mitaka feature freeze, it can be removed in Mitaka.

Please use the resources provided by getting help in the third party CI help
meeting [4] that meets twice a week and different time zones. Also see the
Ironic third party CI information page [5].  Thanks!
