Hello everyone. I am not sure whether I am going to be able to attend
the OVN meeting tomorrow, because I will be in another possibly
distracting meeting, so I'm going to give my report here.
Toward the end of last week I did a full pass of reviews through
patchwork. The most notable result, I think, is that I applied patches
that add 802.1ad support. For OVN, this makes it more reasonable to
consider adding support for tagged logical ports--currently, OVN drops
all tagged logical packets--which I've heard requested once or twice,
because it means that they can now be gatewayed to physical ports within
an outer VLAN. I don't have any plans to work on that, but I think that
it is worth pointing out.
The OVS "Open Source Day" talks have been scheduled at OpenStack
Boston. They are all on Wednesday:

I've been spending what dev time I have on database clustering. Today,
I managed to get it working, with many caveats. It will take weeks or
months longer to get it finished, tested, and ready for posting. (If
you want what I have, check out the raft3 branch in my ovs-reviews repo
at github.)
