Action items from last week:
- rkukura to put result of binding changes email discussion into a wiki or google doc

BPs
- Provider network partial specs: zzelle@irc
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Provider-network-partial-specs
- https://review.openstack.org/71904
Blueprints
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron?searchtext=ml2
- 3 high, 13 medium, 3 low, 13 undefined priorities
- 19 not yet approved for icehouse
- all MDs should probably be same priority
- Which should we approve for icehouse, drop from icehouse or adjust priority?

devstack ML2 patches
- Default devstack to ML2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1220745
- Correctly set L3 service plugin for ML2: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/48522/
Documentation
- Need to focus on this now
- Documentation BP link: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+spec/neutron-ml2-docs
- ML2 documentation bugs link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bugs?field.tag=ml2
- Need to document ML3 with ML2
Testing and bug fixes
- Testing of ML2 by everyone would be appreciated
- We need to find and fix any bugs in the next couple of weeks

Icehouse Design Summit Topic ideas
- RPC handling in ML2 for Type and Mechanism Drivers
- More extensible TypeDrivers for controller-based MechanismDrivers
- Monolithic Plugin vs. ML2 MechanismDriver - current and future plugins
- Future Directions for ML2 (orchestration, deployment, management, ...)
- Migration from deprecated Plugins (openvswitch, linuxbridge) to ML2 - automation?
- Add support for VXLAN multicast to the OVS agent with newer versions of OVS and Linux kernel.
- Multi-segment provider network implementations in MechanismDrivers, specifically OVS.
- Additional provider network attributes for controller-based plugins such as ODL for networks created outside of Neutron.

General ML2 Information

Here are the current ml2-specific blueprints for havana:

These tunnel-related blueprints effect the openvswitch and/or linuxbridge agents, and the features should also (or exclusively) be supported (using both agents simultaneously where applicable) by the ml2 plugin:

These blueprints involve the ml2 MechanismDriver API:
