?  Core reviewers required to move reviews forward

  *   e547a7e, ebd41fd: patch reworked according to comments from core reviewer (Chenjie)
*        Update the master spreadsheet with the missing neutron repo's

  *   Derek is working with Dean to get the list of commits for the repo's in order to add them to the spreadsheet

  *   4 repo's are currently missing:
?  https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-bgpvpn
?  https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-sfc
?  https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-odl
?  https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-ryu
*        Adding Co-Authored-By on reviews -- email sent to Forrest

  *   Reviewed the process with team and agreed to start adding WR co-authors for the neutron

  *   Recommended Process
?  The Intel prime looks up the original author in the WR patch
*        Ghada can help identify authors when needed
?  The Intel prime adds the original author as a co-author in the gerrit review
*        Co-Authored-By: Name <email-address>
?  The Intel prime also adds the original author and Matt Peters as a review of the gerrit review
*        Containerized Openstack

  *   Specs are in progress: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/projects:openstack/stx-specs

  *   Storyboard Container Stories: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/search?tags=stx.containers

  *   Joseph Richard (WR) is currently working on neutron helm chart overrides
?  Chart Override Spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/609849/
?  Once the neutron code is ready, we will add Ruijing to the gerrit review

  *   There is currently no plan for ovs-dpdk to be running in a container
?  Rationale for deferring:
*        Kubernetes / Docker does not currently handle several host level properties / resources that are required for DPDK based applications:
o   Hugepages - actively being worked in the K8S community
o   CPU Isolation and Pinning - isolcpus is a kernel level option that isn't exposed to individual containers
o   Device Plugins - NIC resource assignments to Pods - currently depends on SRIOV PF CNI
o   NUMA topology - NIC and CPU awareness for Pod scheduling
o   Kernel Modules - Generally kernel module loading, but also specifically VFIO and IOMMU support

  *   No other immediate networking work items are needed. Ghada to keep the team in the loop on what is happening with respect to networking.
