I-3 Code Proposal Deadline is end of day tomorrow (Feb 18th).
Icehouse-3 is has lots of proposed blueprints.

Bugs

Let's get in the habit of checking Elastic Recheck and Gate Success Rate at least every day.

The workaround for the kernel issue is in place on the master branches. We still do not have stability on the stable branch.
Critical Open Bugs currently we have 5.

Nova Parity (beagles)

Updated Monday, February 17, 2014 2053 UTC No significant changes since last week.

nova-neutron integration library - nova/network/neutron2/api.py. Reviews/merges still pending
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/64769/ Garbage collect neutron ports not in nw_cache
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/59578/ Fix port_security_enabled neutron extension
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/60592/ Make network_cache more robust with neutron
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/62108/ Update network_cache only if needed
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/62104/ Correct network_model tests and __eq__ operator
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/57229/ Validate interface attachment details prior to sending to compute (garyk)
- Status update on the bugs that are filed against unimplemented methods. Several have been reviewed by nova folk and some can likely be closed as the methods are actually unused in nova itself.
  - These bugs have feedback posted. Basically they are all along the vein of being obsololeted within nova itself. We should adda comment to neutronv2/api.py about the unused/deprecated methods and close the following issues. The rest of the issues are still pending feedback but I suspect that with a cursory review, some or all can be grouped into the same category as those immediately below.
    - get_fixed_ip - https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269060 (obsoleted in current RPC API)
    - get_vifs_by_instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269061
    - get_vif_by_mac_address https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269062 (obsoleted in current RPC API)
  - I've grouped these bugs together for the time being https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269065 (unassigned/untriaged)
    - delete - deletes a network
    - disassociate - disassociates a host or project from a network
    - add_network_to_project
  - I've grouped these as one bug for the time being https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269066 (unassigned/untriaged)
    - get_dns_domains
    - add_dns_entry
    - modify_dns_entry
    - delete_dns_entry
    - delete_dns_domain
    - get_dns_entries_by_address
    - get_dns_entries_by_name
    - create_private_dns_domain
    - create_public_dns_domain
