* Christmas Schedule  (mdgray, 13:05:32)
  * ACTION: Billy to cancel 28th Meeting. Next meeting will be on the
    4th of January  (mdgray, 13:06:06)

* Dev Update - Fuel  (mdgray, 13:06:30)
  * "Hello world" plugin was deployed using Fuel. It deployed a Debian
    package.  (mdgray, 13:07:10)
  * Then it was decided to change plugin to deploy and compile on the
    node.  (mdgray, 13:07:57)
  * Tom: What was the reason for it?  (mdgray, 13:08:06)
  * Convenience was one reason. Opportunity to use puppet manifests that
    were already available.  (mdgray, 13:08:39)
  * Also, the performance will be better as we can turn on
    optimizations.  (mdgray, 13:09:03)
  * Perhaps in the future we could install a Debian.  (mdgray, 13:10:15)
  * LINK: https://github.com/mrmarkgray/fuel-plugin-ovsnfv  (mdgray,
    13:10:55)
  * Current plugin is in this link  (mdgray, 13:11:17)
  * There is a "stable" branch  (mdgray, 13:11:32)
  * Fuel guys don't want to maintain the plugin. They will clone the
    plugin source. They will build it and then package it into the ISO.
    (mdgray, 13:12:22)
  * Currently we need a final location for this plugin.  (mdgray,
    13:13:15)
  * Probably put this in the ovsnfv repo.  (mdgray, 13:13:28)
  * We have made Fuel's WP2 but it is not fully functional. Openstack
    integration needs a bit of work.  (mdgray, 13:17:51)
  * Fuel is targeting Liberty for Brahmaputra.  (mdgray, 13:18:45)
  * Tom: How are you dealing with original goal of an alternate build?
    (mdgray, 13:20:01)
  * There is a tickbox on the UI or a command line parameter to enable
    it.  (mdgray, 13:21:24)
  * We will need documentation and/or a video to show it.  (mdgray,
    13:21:38)

* Dev Update - RPM  (mdgray, 13:21:53)
  * First step is to build a native binary using upstream code.
    (mdgray, 13:23:12)
  * There are some nuances to running in OVSNFV context.  (mdgray,
    13:23:31)
  * Built and worked locally and then pushed upstream.  (mdgray,
    13:23:44)
  * "releng" was not doing ovsnfv builds  (mdgray, 13:24:10)
  * Trying to get rpm pushed to the artifactory.  (mdgray, 13:24:29)
  * "releng" didn't like that we were producing artifacts as part of
    verify.  (mdgray, 13:25:46)
  * There are some rpms up there already
    "http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ovsnfv/opnfv-2015-12-18-openvswitch-2.5.90-1.x86_64.rpm"
    (mdgray, 13:26:53)
  * Artifacts should be part of merge and daily jobs and placed together
    for others to consume.  (mdgray, 13:31:34)
  * Tom will work with Fatih on this.  (mdgray, 13:31:55)

    (tfherbert, 13:42:53)
  * https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/4907/  (tfherbert, 13:44:00)
  * Discussion about forking again :)  (mdgray, 13:45:54)
  * SFC is an example  (mdgray, 13:46:02)
  * One suggestion is that we don't fork but we make sure our packaging
    and testing has the option to apply patches sometime before deploy.
    (mdgray, 13:47:12)

* Requirements  (mdgray, 13:53:58)
  * Two requirements so far:  (mdgray, 13:54:57)

    (mdgray, 13:55:24)
  * , I understand what you are saying about vsperf. But does vsperf
    test against specific perf requirements?  (tfherbert, 13:56:39)
  * I don't think it has any requirements yet. It just measures and
    reports.  (mdgray, 14:02:57)
