Hey David,
Thanks for the feedback, I've modified all license headers in my bits of the
code.
The phases we have currently identified together with Nicira are:
1) First integration, L2 networking only and single NVP setup for the entire
cloud.
This means a static configuration for the NVP setup and the possibility
to create guest networks in CloudStack using the NVP solution (create logical
switch and logical port attachments). Source should be ready for production use
and pushed upstream to the opensource version of CloudStack. VIrtualRouter is
used for SNAT and all other features.
2) More in depth integration, Use the pluggable resource system to add a Nicira
NVP device to a zone and allow different NVP setups per zone. Use some L3
features like SNAT directly from the Nicira NVP instead of the VirtualRouter.
3) Everything we don't get to do in the other phases ;-)
So currently we have allocated resources to do phase 1, which is the current
patch. My goal is to finish this patch and get it upstreamed into the
CloudStack master branch. When that is done we'll move to the next phase.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hugo,
This is awesome. Thanks for letting us have a peak.
A couple of just housekeeping items:
You have license headers that don't match the ASF requirements, you may want to
review this:
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
I am also curious as to what you see the remaining phases of support to be?
