Open Stack

I definitely see a huge value for the summits, but in this specific case,
it was more being away from work and being able to focus on one task.
Openvswitch is where all of my issues came from. The 3 or 4 Quantum
sessions I attended didn't mention openvswitch at all. Maybe others did. I
was able to finally get things working by taking time to read all current
existing docs, look at a working setup that Ryan had, and understand what
openvswitch is doing and why.

In the end, I went through a number of different configurations before I
found what suited my environment. What I'm currently working on now is how
to get the most basic openvswitch configuration that will work on the
largest number of "basic" installations. After that, I want to write an
openvswitch document similar to Florian's but cover some areas I thought he
missed. I'll probably write it for the networking guide but am kicking
around the idea of making it applicable to the ops guide. Thoughts?
