Portgroups support (sambetts, vdrok)
====================================
* trello: https://trello.com/c/KvVjeK5j/29-portgroups-support
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - tempest tests https://review.openstack.org/382476 need review
    - documentation (need to be written still)

CI refactoring (dtantsur, lucasagomes)
======================================
* trello: https://trello.com/c/c96zb3dm/32-ci-refactoring
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - We now run a non-voting UEFI job in the gate (and it's green) o/

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:
- leaning towards moving this to Pike.
    - patches need reviews: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526283.
    - concerns about https://review.openstack.org/#/c/420728/ (Add compatibility with Newton when creating a node)
    - had irc discussion about status: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-ironic/%23openstack-ironic.2017-01-23.log.html#t2017-01-23T16:17:41
    - Testing work:
        - The final tempest "smoke" test is failing after the grenade run in the multi-tenant grenade job.
            - http://logs.openstack.org/49/422149/5/experimental/gate-grenade-dsvm-ironic-multitenant-ubuntu-xenial-nv/74c9ed9/console.html
            - Believe that this issue is due to the network getting changed after Grenade finishes and then we lose connectivity to the Ironic node.
        - The grenade portion passes for the multi-tenant grenade job
            - http://logs.openstack.org/49/422149/5/experimental/gate-grenade-dsvm-ironic-multitenant-ubuntu-xenial-nv/74c9ed9/logs/grenade.sh.summary.txt.gz
        - Testing being done in: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/422149/
        - This needs multi-node testing, and multi-node has a very low probability of working in Ocata
