  * Carbon Planning  (abhijitkumbhare, 15:04:38)
  * Merging OpenFlow Plugin & OpenFlow Java Library  (abhijitkumbhare,
    15:05:03)

* Merging OpenFlow Plugin & OpenFlow Java Library  (abhijitkumbhare,
  15:09:17)
  * for developer it might be easy  (shuva, 15:11:59)
  * Is there any benefit to bring the 2 projects together or to keep
    them separate?  (abhijitkumbhare, 15:12:16)
  * but will be easier for ofjava verification jobs (~5mins) unlike
    ofplugin verification(~60min)  (shuva, 15:12:54)
  * it will be easier to plug-in of1.5 , we can either go for a new
    ofjava and create a new, more flexible pipeline  (shuva, 15:13:50)
  * also combining both might result in tight coupling and code
    dependencies that might be bad  (shuva, 15:14:25)
  * since coming back from that might be very difficult  (shuva,
    15:14:41)
  * the advantages might not outweigh the disadvantages  (shuva,
    15:15:03)
  * good to have different community and developer bases  (shuva,
    15:15:24)
  * will stiil leave an oyside chance of having alternate designs for
    both  (shuva, 15:16:55)
  * huge advantage of having common models  (shuva, 15:20:02)
  * goal is to have smaller patchsets,  (shuva, 15:22:10)
  * shuva asks isn’t there an advantage of removing model translations?
    (abhijitkumbhare, 15:22:28)
  * models toward ofjave will be private, models towards ofplugin are
    more public and mdsal aware  (shuva, 15:22:45)
  * so combining both might result in some diff to maintain and read
    (shuva, 15:25:15)
  * abhijitKumbhare asks is it possible to create fast performing plugin
    (shuva, 15:25:51)
  * it can be done if developers are free, but it will create code that
    cannot be merged back on to the master  (shuva, 15:26:35)
  * if we use ofjava models it will create version dependent api s and
    applications will be version-aware  (shuva, 15:27:16)
  * Abhijitkumbhare proposes to do s POC enhancing bulkomatic to see
    what the benefits could be  (shuva, 15:43:44)
  * reconciliation will still be a problem , but will deal with one at a
    time  (shuva, 15:44:07)
  * extensions might be a problem , but we will see as we go on  (shuva,
    15:44:25)
  * abhijitkumbhare feels this would be a nice POC to venture into
    (shuva, 15:44:46)

* OpenFlow Plugin Nominations for PTL, test contact & documentation
