There are still a few design summit sessions from the summit that
I'll recap but I wanted to get the priorities session recap out as
early as possible. We held that session in the last slot on
Thursday. The full etherpad is here [1].
The first part of the session was mostly going over schedule milestones.
We already started Newton with a freeze on spec approvals for new
things since we already have a sizable backlog [2]. Now that we're
past the summit we can approve specs for new things again.
The full Newton release schedule for Nova is in this wiki [3].
These are the major dates from here on out:
* June 2: newton-1, non-priority spec approval freeze
* June 30: non-priority feature freeze
* July 15: newton-2
* July 19-21: Nova Midcycle
* Aug 4: priority spec approval freeze
* Sept 2: newton-3, final python-novaclient release, FeatureFreeze,
Soft StringFreeze
* Sept 16: RC1 and Hard StringFreeze
* Oct 7, 2016: Newton Release
The important thing for most people right now is we have exactly
four weeks until the non-priority spec approval freeze. We then have
about one month after that to land all non-priority blueprints.
Keep in mind that we've already got 52 approved blueprints and most
of those were re-approved from Mitaka, so have been approved for
several weeks already.
The non-priority blueprint cycle is intentionally restricted in
Newton because of all of the backlog work we've had spilling over
into this release. We really need to focus on getting as much of
that done as possible before taking on more new work.
For the rest of the priorities session we talked about what our
actual review priorities are for Newton. The list with details and
owners is already available here [4].
In no particular order, these are the review priorities:
* Cells v2
* Scheduler
* API Improvements
* os-vif integration
* libvirt storage pools (for live migration)
* Get Me a Network
* Glance v2 Integration
I saw the priorities review ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/312217/ )
has been merged so wanted to point that out here. I know Nova team cares
about history section of the specs so the dates are more clear from the
links posted on the comment. To be more explicit: Glance v2 work
(BP+code) was initially proposed in Icehouse, the co-located mid-cycle
was in Kilo where we had a brief session on Glance v2 work (& thanks to
all the Nova members who have been giving their input). Also, the reason
for my comments/questions in the etherpad.
We *should* be able to knock out glance v2, get-me-a-network and
os-vif relatively soon (I'm thinking sometime in June).
Not listed in [4] but something we talked about was volume
multi-attach with Cinder. We said this was going to be a 'stretch
goal' contingent on making decent progress on that item by
non-priority feature freeze *and* we get the above three smaller
priority items completed.
Another thing we talked about but isn't going to be a priority is
NFV-related work. We talked about cleaning up technical debt and
additional testing for NFV but had no one in the session signed up
to own that work or with concrete proposals on how to make
improvements in that area. Since we can't assign review priorities
to something that nebulous it was left out. Having said that, Moshe
Levi has volunteered to restart and lead the SR-IOV/PCI bi-weekly
meeting [5] (thanks again, Moshe!). So if you (or your employer, or
your vendor) are interested in working on NFV in Nova please attend
that meeting and get involved in helping out that subteam.

Icehouse predates time. :)
Thanks for the clarification.
