This work also affects repos that integrate with neutron and have tables in
the Neutron database. We have started to submit patches for the neutron-fwaas,
-lbaas, and -vpnaas repos, and we are keeping track of the progress with an
etherpad [5].

I have listed all the Neutron Stadium projects there, as well as all the
projects that I could find hosted on git.openstack.org that integrate with the
Neutron DB. Please help by signing up for a project.

If you encounter any problem or issues, please ask us for help. Either reply
to this email thread, or find me (HenryG) or Darek (dasm) in the Neutron IRC
channel.
