By that I do not mean necessarily targeting 14:09:11 the FOSS bits, but necessarily have support and interest from a number of 14:09:11 teams of neutron contributors. 14:09:46 with that said i did pull out a short list of BPs for which exceptions have been requested which seem relevant to this group 14:09:57 please chime in if you are the owners of any i miss here... 14:09:57 sgordon: Thanks for bringing this up 14:10:14 the first two relate to DPDK enablement 14:10:29 #info [openstack-dev] [nova][Spec Freeze Exception]Support dpdkvhost in ovs vif bindings 14:10:34 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/040660.html 14:10:35 and 14:10:41 #info [openstack-dev] [Neutron] [Spec freeze exception] ml2-use-dpdkvhost 14:10:46 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/040877.html 14:11:16 so the two of these have an inter-relationship which makes things sticky 14:11:35 it was originally proposed as a nova spec only and then as a result of review feedback broken out 14:11:49 There has been lots of feedback on the proposal. I think we're on an agreeable path now 14:12:17 Updated plan is in the review comments, and blueprints are being updated 14:12:22 the neutron guys are apparently amicable to giving it an exception if the nova guys do but the nova guys i have talked to say the opposite 14:12:27 (fun) :) 14:12:43 LOL 14:12:58 adrian-hoban, is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/95805/ the most up to date review for the nova spec? 14:13:15 adrian-hoban, it still seems to have some -1s to iterate on from the original discussion 14:13:22 i agree though the path seems much clearer now 14:13:50 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/95805/ 14:14:16 sgordon: We hope the last set of comments in the chat from sean-k-mooney address the -1's. 14:14:20 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/107797/ 14:15:00 hi yes i am currently updateing the nova and neuton specs with there feed back a new version should be avaiable by the end of the day 14:15:25 sean-k-mooney, ok thanks - might be an idea to send a mail in response to the spec exception request email to highlight it when you do 14:16:02 #action sean-k-mooney working to update nova and neutron DPDK enablement specs by end of day 14:16:05 sgordon:yes i will do that. 14:16:39 ok 14:16:47 We will also reach out to the -1's to check that their comments have been resolved. 14:16:56 +1 yes 14:17:10 might also need to see if joe will remove the -2 but i suspect he will want to see core sponsors first 14:17:35 #info [openstack-dev] [Nova][Spec freeze exception] Solver Scheduler spec 14:17:40 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/040684.html 14:17:51 are any of those involved in the solver scheduler effort around? 14:17:55 \o 14:18:08 I'm following this spec 14:18:16 (not familiar enough with nicks but know we have discussed in previous meetings) 14:18:19 but not involved tho 14:18:30 Yathi is not there 14:18:34 bauzas, in the spec exception request email it suggests it has two cores signed up do you know if they were confirmed? 14:19:00 sgordon: lemme check 14:19:39 sgordon: as per https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-juno-spec-priorities there are no cores who expressed interest 14:19:49 ok 14:20:03 i was just not sure based on the way the request was framed 14:20:11 there are little chances this spec would be accepted as an exception 14:20:17 anyway will need to take that offline 14:20:31 that was my understanding yeah but stranger things have happened... 14:20:33 #info [openstack-dev] [Neutron][Spec Freeze Exception] ml2-ovs-portsecurity 14:20:39 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/040838.html 14:21:15 so the two port security proposals got merged into this one and an exception has been requested 14:22:02 ijw also has https://review.openstack.org/#/c/97715/ covering unaddressed interfaces in this area which is still outstanding 14:22:03 sgordon: for Nova, we should get a formal response by today EOB or tomorrow morning 14:22:04 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/97715/ 14:22:17 sgordon: for spec exceptions I mean 14:22:48 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/99873/ 14:22:59 is the review for the ml2-ovs-portsecurity spec 14:23:07 it has a +2 from kyle but needs another neutron core to buy in 14:23:46 'll contact Rob Kukura today for his opinion. 14:24:04 He added +1 for now. 14:24:19 right 14:24:34 i think it would meet the updated guidelines for any further neutron spec approvals in terms of community interest 14:24:39 but still needs a sponsor 14:25:07 #action yamahata to follow up with Rob Kukura for an opinion on sponsoring exception for ml2-ovs-portsecurity spec 14:25:41 i will try and catch ijw later today for his opinion on the unaddressed interfaces one - i dont think i saw an exception request 14:25:51 so that is the list i skimmed from the ML 14:25:57 does anyone have others they would like to discuss? 14:27:51 tumbleweeds 14:27:51 ok 14:27:59 #topic meeting time 14:28:16 ijw raised some concerns about the meeting time, i believe he is west coast which means 7am 14:28:59 typically i think we have a good spectrum across east coast US and europe 14:29:09 does anyone have any thoughts on moving it? 14:29:43 obviously we are never going to please everyone but if we're missing a significant chunk of people we may need to consider it 14:30:17 Yes, I think if people let us know that this time doesn't work, then maybe we can cycle between earlier/later sessions to suit 14:30:49 it can be only one hour later... for west coast the meeting starts at 7am 14:31:01 right 14:31:12 the other issue is the meeting channels are pretty rammed with bookings these days 14:31:22 but i will look into what is available and send a whenisgood to the list? 14:31:38 obviously we should try and cater to the broadest group we can hit 14:31:39 for Neutron specifically, 8am PDT is DVR, 9am PDT is ML2 and 10:30am PDT is advanced service 14:31:45 i just dont have a clear picture of what that is :) 14:31:50 not really fair for Europe to make it later than 8am PST 14:31:55 sgordon: I think that's a good opportunity for debating this in the -dev ML 14:32:00 +1 14:32:04 +1 14:32:18 #action sgordon to follow up on available meeting room times and poll the -dev list 14:32:19 agree 14:32:46 esp. since the aggrieved party is not actually able to be here at this time to discuss :) 14:32:52 sgordon: we can also think on an alternance :) 14:32:52 #topic other business? 14:33:08 so, what else do people want to discuss? 14:33:23 i know we have put use cases somewhat on the back burner as things heat up with the release cycle 14:33:38 though thanks again to cloudon for providing some updates on that front 14:34:03 Any desire for the group to bid for a speaking slot in Paris? 14:34:08 next week I will be at ETSI NFV meeting. any thing we want to push to these guys ? 14:34:43 They should clarify whether gap analysis can be shared already 14:34:51 yeah +1 14:35:04 the lack of transparency around the gap analysis is the main concern 14:35:16 although we do have some members trying to feed back and forth between the two 14:35:18 I know work is still in progress on that in multiple ETSI-NFV working groups 14:35:20 Yes. Do they need an official liaison? 14:36:10 ok. we can ask 14:36:16 i believe michael brenner from ALU is the assigned liaison for OpenStack from an ETSI NFV point of view 14:36:21 regarding gap panalysis, what I know is that all NFV WGs have shared their gap analysis and an integrated document is being ellaborated 14:36:34 he doesn't have an equivalent from the openstack community but has popped up here a few times 14:36:41 Yes. 14:36:56 But the gaps are known, so we could start work also on this side. 14:36:57 I saw on the mailing list a bunch of them , they are now consolidating and working on aligning 14:36:58 Yes, I believe ETSI-NFV have an appointed liason 14:37:04 is anyone at the IETF in toronto this week ? 14:37:17 i know they were having some NFV-related discussions as well 14:37:30 sgordon, diego lopex is in toronto 14:37:35 *diego lopez 14:38:12 good to know - i think the main relevant session was yesterday afternoon 14:38:20 haven't heard anything out of it as yet though 14:38:56 smazziotta, is that enough relevant feedback from our side w.r.t. gaps? 14:39:14 smazziotta, i think what we have previously discussed is access to the draft as soon as they have some level of comfort with it 14:39:41 #info smazziotta attending ETSI NFV meeting next week, requesting any feedback to take to that forum. 14:40:01 #info Main concern continues to be publication of draft gap analysis 14:40:14 I suspect the timing of the availability of the gap analysis will make the input suitable for Kilo planning 14:40:34 and discussion in an NFV BoF session at the Kilo summit 14:40:43 that is my hope too 14:41:19 I'll make a request 14:41:20 my concern is that if we dont get that transparency in time there may be some unpleasant surprises in terms of time to action 14:41:33 though obviously in many areas we are likely identifying the same things 14:41:58 sgordon, agree 14:42:08 Maybe we should tell them the timeline that would help for Kilo planning 14:42:26 smazziotta, does that make sense ^ 14:42:33 yes, at least let's try to get a formal POV 14:42:43 obviously we dont have the release schedule but the design summit is the key date for a planning perspective 14:43:04 probably minus 2 to 3 weeks to allow for session proposals for major work items 14:44:03 so mid october is somehow our deadline. correct ? 14:44:59 smazziotta, as close as we can get to one yes 14:45:04 anyone disagree ? 14:45:19 is that the deadline to receive gap analysis and evaluate for kilo planning? 14:45:38 ggarcia, for major work items i would say so yes - those that are likely to need a dedicated design session slot 14:45:48 Reasonable request 14:45:49 ggarcia, that isn't necessary for all enhancements though 14:46:04 yes so that we can discuss it in Paris Summit 14:46:09 ggarcia, less controversial or simpler things dont require a full session 14:46:22 but whats controversial or simple is hard to tell without the list :) 14:46:38 it seems reasonable 14:48:01 #info smazziotta to advise ETSI NFV group that major gaps to feed into Kilo planning need to be identified to OpenStack community by mid-October 14:48:26 i dont have anything else today 14:48:41 am happy to let people have 10 mins of their life back 14:48:44 any other business? 14:49:43 take that as a no 14:50:00 thanks all, continue in #openstack-nfv as usual if you want :) 14:50:02 #endmeeting
