14:05:20 <mdgray> #topic Upstream code discussion
14:07:26 <mdgray> #info As a project, we stated that we wouldn't fork OVS but there is discussion as to how we deal with out-of-tree patches. e.g. NSH patches
14:07:32 <tfherbert> #info question is how to deal with nsh, multi-queue before they are merged upstream
14:09:38 <mdgray> #link http://lists.opnfv.org/pipermail/opnfv-tech-discuss/2015-October/006031.html
14:10:04 <mdgray> #info Daniel outlined how Fuel upstream model works in Opnfv
14:11:37 <mdgray> #info Tom states that some things might not be available upstream by B-release
14:12:00 <mdgray> #info Daniel Smith suggests to discuss with Debra what are artifacts would be
14:15:05 <mdgray> #info How long do we maintain out-of-tree patches?
14:15:43 <mdgray> #info If things sit for a long time who maintains the patches.
14:16:51 <mdgray> #info Two current example features are multiqueue and nsh
14:18:11 <mdgray> #info Suggestion is that the feature developer maintains the feature
14:19:29 <mdgray> #info Do we use a temporary repo?
14:19:42 <mdgray> #info until things get upstreamed
14:20:19 <mdgray> #info OPNFV takes upstream only code
14:27:50 <mdgray> #action Tom to bring this up at the Release meeting
14:29:53 <mdgray> #topic RDO
14:30:54 <mdgray> #info Fuel is more suited to deploying ubuntu
14:31:48 <mdgray> #info Arno the fuel work was more targeted to Ubuntu as Foreman was targeted to Centos. There was no point in duplicating effort.
14:32:14 <mdgray> #info Fuel is targeting Mirantis 8 for B-release
14:32:50 <mdgray> #info Still not sure about what the plans are for CentOS support in Fuel for B-release
14:34:52 <mdgray> #info Hard to align all component versions. We could be developing against Arno but for B-release, all opnfv component versions could change.
14:36:05 <mdgray> #info General agreement that we should be enabling RDO
14:37:00 <mdgray> #info There were some feature gaps in RDO that made this difficult. Installing an alternate rpm was one key feature.
14:40:43 <mdgray> #info For RDO, we need to be able to substitute Open vSwitch rpm.
14:40:58 <mdgray> #info and any other related infrstructure
14:41:21 <mdgray> #action mdgray Discuss next week.
14:42:00 <mdgray> #topic Fuel update
14:43:23 <mdgray> #info VM install appears to be working on Daniel's montreal pod
14:44:45 <mdgray> #info We have an agreed methodology that is it repeatable
14:45:09 <mdgray> #info Gabor will email out final instructions
14:46:55 <gabor_halasz_> #info Gabor needs to know what format is expected and a link where to upload it
14:47:10 <mdgray> #info Good progress! Good starting point that we can begin to modify.
14:47:28 <mdgray> #info Gabor ideally the wiki, i think?
14:48:13 <mdgray> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/ovsnfv?&#key_project_facts
14:50:55 <mdgray> #info Building an ISO behind a proxy. Very close. Great support from the OPNFV fuel team.

14:55:07 <mdgray> #info Ubuntu will be easier for initial deployment due to Fuel.
14:55:39 <mdgray> #info When we have something working, it will be easier to look at centos.
