These are not all the etherpad links nor all the topics discussed. I am posting my interests for your reference. Feel free to link and comment.
Refstack
We have been working on updating the definition of the Openstack trademark requirements since last summer. Defining the capabilities of OpenStack clusters leads to interopability. The Refstack project is the culmination of the board, the technical committee, and the tempest group’s work. The work is progressing nicely.

CI / Infrastructure
There were a lot of good sessions. Including ideas on replacements for Jenkins and Gerrit. Here are some of the sessions.
Negative testing
improve gate uptime and feedback
juno cycle improvements
elastic recheck, avoid race conditions
turbo-hipster as the replacement for jenkins
improving third party CI pipeline integration
vinz as the replacement for gerrit
Operators
We started discussing what the operators needed with a mini summit a few months ago. We followed up on the actionable items with operator summit sessions with the Project Technical Leads. Intel also helped with enterprise talks focusing on interopability between OpenStack and infrastructure service providers. Find the rest of the operations sessions below.
neutron ops
scale ops
nova ops
monitoring ops
ops governance, user committee
ops arch sharing
Storyboard
Launchpad has outlived its usefulness and storyboard is the replacement is under development. It is looking very promising. Find it’s design session here. I am thinking of adding one of my projects to it as well.
Congress
Policy management is a hot topic as we can not build SLAs without it. Each of the OpenStack projects have some policy controls. Congress intends to tie them together. The 3 hour design session notes are here. I have have posted some about the project in past as well. Here are some of the other project policy sessions.
neutron policy
nova policy or tetris blueprint ,
nova concept scheduling server groups
Neutron
Nova-network parity is critical work. Mark McClain is leading the charge. This work must be achieved in this cycle or returning Neutron to inucubation is on the table for the Technical Committee..
What use is feature parity without a migration path. Obondarev is working on that.
We need to share the review load. The idea of assigning 2 reviewers to a patch for critical, high priority blueprints was discussed. Perhaps a rotation on call. Tracking critical high, critical bugs to resolution was also considered.
Other various, important design sessions listed below.
Additional testing coverage
Lbaas Juno design
LBaas SSL, L7 focus
IPv6 comcast, intel work so far
neutron core refactoring
state management
distributed virtual router, DVR update
Ambassador
We want continuously improve the OpenStack user groups. The ambassador group got together and discussed ideas for kick starting new groups and quality improvements. I will be posting on these ideas soon.
