        Additional patches exist, for python-ironicclient and one for nova.  Links in the patch/note tracking etherpad.

Rolling upgrades and grenade-partial (rloo, jlvillal)
-----------------------------------------------------
* trello: https://trello.com/c/GAlhSzLm/2-rolling-upgrades-and-grenade-with-multi-node
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - 'Add RPC and object version pinning' (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/407491/) merged (thx all)
    - next patch 'Add version column' (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/412397/) has issues with it, needs to be fixed (this week)
    - Testing work:
        - 27-Mar-2017: Grenade multi-node is non-voting
        - need to change it to only upgrade the conductor

Reference architecture guide (jroll)
------------------------------------
- have been working on automation to stand up kvm+ironic in devstack: https://github.com/jimrollenhagen/multi-hyp-devstack/
- blocked on a neutron issue at the moment - network create is failing, seems no vlans available

Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (vsaienk0)
-----------------------------------------------
- seems like we can deploy with WSGI, but it still uses a fixed port, instead of sub-path
- next one is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/444337/
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/435517

Driver composition (dtantsur, jroll)
------------------------------------
* trello: https://trello.com/c/fTya14y6/14-driver-composition
- gerrit topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+topic:bug/1524745
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - TODO as of 03 Apr 2017
        - install guide / admin guide docs
        - client changes:
            - driver commands update: https://review.openstack.org/419274
            - node-update update: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/431542/
        - new hardware types:
            - ilo: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/439404/
                - this is blocked by iLO drivers refactoring - see the whole patch chain
                    - which is blocked by iLO CI mostly being red..
    - contentious topics:
        - what to do about driver properties API and dynamic drivers?
            - rloo and dtantsur started brainstorming: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-driver-properties-reform

Feature parity between two CLIs (rloo, dtantsur)
------------------------------------------------
- OSC driver-properties spec is work in progress: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/439907/
    - we don't have API to show driver properties for dynamic drivers (we show hardware type + default interfaces): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1671549. This should not be a blocker for the missing OSC commands but since this will also need OSC support, it might have an impact on the OSC commands we eventually decide on.
    - no update this week
    - jroll promises to look at this week of march 27
