17:02:04 <Sukhdev> #topic: Announcements
17:02:25 <Sukhdev> Mitaka release is almost out
17:02:40 <Sukhdev> Newton is open for business, I believe
17:02:54 <Sukhdev> oferby: you here?
17:02:58 <oferby> yes
17:03:16 <Sukhdev> so, lets target all of your work for Newton
17:03:45 <oferby> right. I will change the name of the folder to Newton.
17:04:47 <Sukhdev> Also, I suggested a design session in neutron track for Austin summit and added your and my name to it
17:05:15 <Sukhdev> oferby : have you seen the list of ideas for neutron design summit?
17:05:30 <oferby> no, did not.
17:05:47 <oferby> can you send link?
17:05:50 <Sukhdev> see here - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-neutron-summit-ideas
17:05:54 <oferby> thanks.
17:06:04 <Sukhdev> Look for the second item on the list
17:06:25 <oferby> I see it.
17:06:30 <oferby> great.
17:07:05 <Sukhdev> If the session gets approved, I thought it will be a good idea to socialize the design idea with wider neutron community
17:07:25 <Sukhdev> Feel free to add more context to the etherpad
17:07:31 <oferby> Should we try to get Ben Pfaff (OVS) also to talk about the  IDL?
17:08:07 <Sukhdev> If we are able to get the session - then, it will help
17:08:16 <oferby> ok
17:08:37 <oferby> when this will be evaluated for approval?
17:08:49 <Sukhdev> can you add any links to the etherpad item so that when armax makes the session decisions, he has more context
17:09:07 <Sukhdev> We should know in next couple of weeks
17:09:40 <Sukhdev> I met with armax over beer, we discussed many other design ideas - I forgot to bring this one :-(
17:09:51 <Sukhdev> but, will follow up with him on this
17:10:11 <Sukhdev> perhaps, this can be merged with another session
17:10:41 <oferby> ok. we have to try to talk to Ben in order to move fardward with  IDL.
17:11:08 <oferby> it seems that I can't do it by myself for some reason ... :-(
17:11:21 <Sukhdev> oferby : I saw your email and replied to it a little while ago
17:12:13 <oferby> looking
17:12:17 <Sukhdev> I will discuss this with the experts as to how the rest of the world uses this. Based upon that will make the case
17:12:43 <Sukhdev> armax : are you here?
17:14:25 <oferby> ok. We can go with any of the approaches. We just need to decide which one is best for us.
17:15:11 <Sukhdev> Let me seek some opinions from the experts as to how most of the venders do and will share via email
17:15:17 <Sukhdev> then we can go from there -
17:15:42 <oferby> sure
17:15:45 <Sukhdev> if you can forward me Ben's email - I will include him into the email as well - when I respond back
17:15:54 <oferby> I will.
17:16:05 <Sukhdev> sounds good
17:16:34 <Sukhdev> anything else on this?
17:16:53 <oferby> no. Can we talk about the new API?
17:17:08 <Sukhdev> sure
17:17:19 <Sukhdev> I looked at your spec and gave +2
17:17:41 <oferby> do you think that we can conclude the work on the new API so we can start to implement?
17:18:10 <Sukhdev> yes - I do not see any reason
17:18:19 <Sukhdev> that is why I gave +2
17:18:31 <Sukhdev> this is a heads up for others to jump in as well
17:18:57 <oferby> I spoke with Midokura today -
17:19:10 <oferby> they want to help
17:19:22 <Sukhdev> I wish they could join us here in this meeting :-)
17:19:32 <Sukhdev> that is good
17:19:44 <oferby> Irena said that it is kids time ....
17:19:55 <oferby> it is 20:00 where he are
17:20:15 <Sukhdev> oh I see
17:20:53 <oferby> anyway, we agreed that they will look at the code I've put in gerrit and we will talk on how they want to join in.
17:21:05 <Sukhdev> sounds good
17:21:35 <Sukhdev> there are other patches as well - you may want to review them as well
17:21:49 <Sukhdev> #link: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/networking-l2gw,n,z
17:22:08 <oferby> I actually tested one. it did not work .... send a remark on it
17:22:27 <Sukhdev> yes, I saw it - thanks
17:22:52 <oferby> I will try to check the others too.
17:23:04 <Sukhdev> I use to test most of the patches before approving - I am falling behind on that a bit
17:23:07 <Sukhdev> :-)
17:23:17 <oferby> :-)
17:23:55 <Sukhdev> oferby : did your session for Austin summit get approved?
17:24:04 <Sukhdev> for the main conf session?
17:24:38 <oferby> no, it did not :-(  did not have a chance to send you a link to get your support ...
17:25:08 <Sukhdev> We should have socialized it in the neutron world -
17:25:38 <Sukhdev> yes, you should have send it to me - I would have advertised in all the meetings that I attend and chair
17:25:56 <oferby> ye, my bad.
17:26:08 <Sukhdev> lets try to shoot for the design session -
17:27:23 <oferby> what actions should I take ?
17:28:33 <Sukhdev> Oh nothing much - I added the subject to the list - you can add some links or add a sentence to explain a bit more so that folks know what this is
17:28:45 <Sukhdev> This way we can generate interest and get support
17:29:18 <Sukhdev> armax will know what it is, but, others may not know - hence, a little explanation will help to get support for approval
17:29:34 <oferby> there is 'hah?' there - not yours?!
17:29:50 <Sukhdev> no -
17:30:09 <Sukhdev> it means somebody wants more explanation - they did not know what it was :-)
17:30:31 <oferby> :-) ok, so I will add some text and links
17:31:26 <Sukhdev> Anything else we need to discuss?
17:31:37 <oferby> thats it.
17:32:23 <Sukhdev> you had a document or slide deck - you may want to add the link to that - that will help folks people understand it
17:32:44 <oferby> ok. I will.
17:33:39 <Sukhdev> sounds good
17:33:50 <Sukhdev> so, if we do not have anything lets call it a day
17:33:57 <oferby> right.
17:34:04 <Sukhdev> and go have your beer :-)
17:34:12 <Sukhdev> and I will have my coffee :-)
17:34:23 <oferby> :-) on my way there
17:34:32 <Sukhdev> cool - enjoy
17:34:36 <Sukhdev> thanks for attending
17:34:40 <oferby> sure
17:34:41 <Sukhdev> bye
17:34:47 <oferby> bye
