Meeting agenda and notes for the 3/12 meeting

· Good news - Neutron network segment range patches in (except lib)

· Bad news - NUMA topology pushed out.

· We believe we will have to carry forks of at least some of the Nova changes

• We also believe anything committed to Nova is deployable (and will remain so as per Matt R).

• We should implement the "upstream first" and "stable branch" concept and backport critical features and features from Train to our release branch

§ Changes that are absolutely critical should be backported before they are accepted (and updated over time until acceptance).

§ We should help fix things upstream as we find issues with Train "work in progress" patches

• Meanwhile we will continuously update our master from OpenStack master

· AR Bruce and Frank - need a plan for upstream contributions for Nova

· We need to define our branching strategy.   Create an f/stx-stein branch?  Create a f/nova feature branch for StarlingX?

• We will need to build our Nova container out of the github staging trees - once Nova cuts there first RC (Mar 22nd).  Backports will be checked into github directly.

· Plan to raise these issues with Nova community at PTG and support the efforts
