Essential Priorities

Generic boot-from-volume (TheJulia, dtantsur)
---------------------------------------------
* trello: https://trello.com/c/UttNjDB7/13-generic-boot-from-volume
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - Joanna has been taking on updating/rebasing patches. She is refactoring the unit tests, which is slowing down progress at this time.
    - Patch/note tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Ironic-BFV
        Ironic Patches:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/355625/ - ready to be reviewed
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/366197/ - Has feedback that needs to be addressed

        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:
    - patches have been rebased and are available, but rloo wants to test so might be best to hold off on reviewing because there may be changes
    - Testing work:
        - 27-Mar-2017: Grenade multi-node is non-voting
        - Examine stats next week and decide if it is ready to become a voting job.

Reference architecture guide (jroll)
------------------------------------
- no progress this week

Python 3.5 compatibility (JayF, hurricanerix)
---------------------------------------------
- no updates

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/

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 27 Mar 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/
    - 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
