  * Welcome on board!  (mdgray, 13:08:16)

* Jira/Gerrit Policy  (mdgray, 13:08:30)
  * Not necessary to have a Jira tag for every commit.  (mdgray,
    13:09:17)
  * We need to update instructions for committing code to our repo.
    (mdgray, 13:10:49)
  * ACTION: Mark has some instructions to show how to make git commits
    to our repo.  (mdgray, 13:11:50)
  * Gerrit allows us to review patches  (mdgray, 13:16:42)
  * LINK: https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/q/project:ovsnfv  (mdgray,
    13:17:00)
  * These are the list of patches that have been submitted.  (mdgray,
    13:17:12)
  * We need to decide on a policy as to when we can push changes to our
    repository  (mdgray, 13:18:48)
  * ACTION: Tom will see if it is possible to add a group of users for
    review (e.g. OVSNFV committers)  (mdgray, 13:20:12)

* Dev Updates: Fuel  (mdgray, 13:20:39)
  * Deadline for Fuel code freeze 18th December  (mdgray, 13:21:03)
  * There might be leeway on that (middle of next week)  (mdgray,
    13:21:21)
  * There is a similar Fuel plugin being developed by the SFC team
    (mdgray, 13:22:04)
  * We are trying to align as much as possible with that.  (mdgray,
    13:22:25)
  * Idea end state would be one plugin. This is a goal  (mdgray,
    13:25:46)
  * OVSNFV plugin is working in Ericsson Montreal Pod (hardware
    environment) but not in a virtual environment  (mdgray, 13:26:23)
  * We have a daily meeting at 9am (Dublin Time) with Fuel@OVSNFV to
    work through these problems. They are giving great support!
    (mdgray, 13:28:13)
  * If anyone wants to attend, let me know  (mdgray, 13:28:29)

* Dev updates: RPMs  (mdgray, 13:28:41)
  * Goal is to build RPM from the master tree (native OVS). This will
    provide a framework to do this for userspace OVS  (mdgray, 13:29:58)
  * Next step is an analogous step for Apex.  (mdgray, 13:30:39)
  * Tom plans to get help from Tim and Dan to achieve this.  (mdgray,
    13:31:15)
  * we currently are supporting fuel installer.  (tfherbert, 13:32:27)
  * Currently rpms are stored locally but plan is to put them into
    artifacts.  (mdgray, 13:33:28)
  * Plan would be that Apex would then pull that rpm  (mdgray, 13:34:06)
  * tfherbert is working on preparing rpms for apex installer for now.
    (tfherbert, 13:35:31)
  * other installers will come later.  (tfherbert, 13:35:38)
  * 18th December deadline is that the fuel plugin is code complete
    (mdgray, 13:38:50)
  * When we are doing an Apex and a Fuel build, we will probably need to
    use two servers as one will have centos and one will have ubuntu
    (mdgray, 13:41:52)
  * We can use build.sh to be our entry point which calls other build
    scripts  (mdgray, 13:47:02)

* Dev updates: Debs  (mdgray, 13:47:39)
  * We can build debian packages using upstream code  (mdgray, 13:47:58)
  * We still need to decide how we will do this. There are a few
    potential methodologies.  (mdgray, 13:50:02)

* Dev Updates: CI  (mdgray, 13:52:06)
  * We have covered that in previous topics on this call  (mdgray,
    13:52:14)

* Requirements  (mdgray, 13:52:34)
  * Sent out e-mail polling for requirements  (mdgray, 13:53:32)



Meeting ended at 13:56:34 UTC.
