Joel,

Based on my experience with you, I am sure you are not dense.

This proposal is a spin out of the existing NetVirt functionality from the existing OVSDB Project.  As such, we did not believe that an extensive description of the functionality was required.  Also, the scope in this proposal is similar in language to the scope for the NetVirt parts in the existing approved OVSDB NetVirt Project Proposal [1].

This proposal is scheduled to be reviewed by the TSC next week.  We appreciate the early comments/questions to the list rather than waiting until the review.  If the current scope will not be acceptable to the TSC, it would be good to hear that earlier rather than later.

Thanks,

Andre

I have looked at the definition you pointed to.

I have looked at the project proposal page.

 

I cannot tell what the netvirt project would actually do.  I can’t even guess what would be in or out of scope.

 

Yours,

Joel

Subject: Re: [Project-proposals] [ovsdb-dev] Ovsdb Netvirt Project Split Proposal

 

Hello Ed,

The following looks like a reasonable definition:
https://www.sdxcentral.com/resources/network-virtualization/whats-network-virtualization/

For example, the NetVirt component of the existing OVSDB NetVirt project is a network virtualization solution for OpenStack.  This will form the basis of the new project.  We intend to define the scope in such a way that we can continue to extend our support for Openstack, but that we can do it in such a way that it is useful for other applications as well.

Sam,

 

Question... in the scope... what constitutes 'network virtualization' in your mind? (trying to wrap my head around the scope :) ).

Hello,

we would like to submit the follow proposal [1] to split NetVirt from OVSDB. All committers have +1'd the proposal.

Since the split of NetVirt from the OVSDB project has already been discussed and recommended by the TSC, and was a qualification on the recent scope revision approval [0], we request that the 2-week waiting period be waived and this proposal be voted on as soon as the TSC schedule allows. This would allow the project to minimize disruptions while transitioning to the new project.

Thanks, Sam
