* Upstream code discussion  (mdgray, 14:05:20)
  * 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  (mdgray, 14:07:26)
  * question is how to deal with nsh, multi-queue before they are merged
    upstream  (tfherbert, 14:07:32)

    (mdgray, 14:09:38)
  * Daniel outlined how Fuel upstream model works in Opnfv  (mdgray,
    14:10:04)
  * Tom states that some things might not be available upstream by
    B-release  (mdgray, 14:11:37)
  * Daniel Smith suggests to discuss with Debra what are artifacts would
    be  (mdgray, 14:12:00)
  * How long do we maintain out-of-tree patches?  (mdgray, 14:15:05)
  * If things sit for a long time who maintains the patches.  (mdgray,
    14:15:43)
  * Two current example features are multiqueue and nsh  (mdgray,
    14:16:51)
  * Suggestion is that the feature developer maintains the feature
    (mdgray, 14:18:11)
  * Do we use a temporary repo?  (mdgray, 14:19:29)
  * until things get upstreamed  (mdgray, 14:19:42)
  * OPNFV takes upstream only code  (mdgray, 14:20:19)
  * ACTION: Tom to bring this up at the Release meeting  (mdgray,
    14:27:50)

* RDO  (mdgray, 14:29:53)
  * Fuel is more suited to deploying ubuntu  (mdgray, 14:30:54)
  * Arno the fuel work was more targeted to Ubuntu as Foreman was
    targeted to Centos. There was no point in duplicating effort.
    (mdgray, 14:31:48)
  * Fuel is targeting Mirantis 8 for B-release  (mdgray, 14:32:14)
  * Still not sure about what the plans are for CentOS support in Fuel
    for B-release  (mdgray, 14:32:50)
  * Hard to align all component versions. We could be developing against
    Arno but for B-release, all opnfv component versions could change.
    (mdgray, 14:34:52)
  * General agreement that we should be enabling RDO  (mdgray, 14:36:05)
  * There were some feature gaps in RDO that made this difficult.
    Installing an alternate rpm was one key feature.  (mdgray, 14:37:00)
  * For RDO, we need to be able to substitute Open vSwitch rpm.
    (mdgray, 14:40:43)
  * and any other related infrstructure  (mdgray, 14:40:58)
  * ACTION: mdgray Discuss next week.  (mdgray, 14:41:21)

* Fuel update  (mdgray, 14:42:00)
  * VM install appears to be working on Daniel's montreal pod  (mdgray,
    14:43:23)
  * We have an agreed methodology that is it repeatable  (mdgray,
    14:44:45)
  * Gabor will email out final instructions  (mdgray, 14:45:09)
  * Gabor needs to know what format is expected and a link where to
    upload it  (gabor_halasz_, 14:46:55)
  * Good progress! Good starting point that we can begin to modify.
    (mdgray, 14:47:10)
  * Gabor ideally the wiki, i think?  (mdgray, 14:47:28)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/ovsnfv?&#key_project_facts  (mdgray,
    14:48:13)
  * Building an ISO behind a proxy. Very close. Great support from the
    OPNFV fuel team.  (mdgray, 14:50:55)
  * Billy is trying to create a fuel plugin  (mdgray, 14:53:07)
  * Billy added Jira stories to flesh out what needs to be done here
    (mdgray, 14:53:16)
  * Plugin will install userspace ovs and dependencies  (mdgray,
    14:53:38)
  * Ubuntu will be easier for initial deployment due to Fuel.  (mdgray,
    14:55:07)
  * When we have something working, it will be easier to look at centos.
    (mdgray, 14:55:39)

    14:58:25)
  * ACTION: mdgray Mark to put this at the head of agenda next week
    (mdgray, 14:58:42)
  * We should start with basic CI (not even include tests initially)
    (mdgray, 15:00:19)
