 Thanks for the great inputs on how to frame the discussion in the

add author indent  to track the source of the changes. Will work on 
cleaning that up.

 Regarding the session itself, as you probably know, there was an 
attempt  in Icehouse to get the sr-iov work going. We found that the 
time allotted  for the session was not sufficient to get to all the 
use cases and discuss  alternate views.

 This time around we want to be better prepared and so would like to 
keep  only a couple of open times for the actual session. Hence, the 
request for  the early meeting.

 How does Monday 1pm sound?

 Thanks,

That time is good with me.

 Steve

 This is the one that Irena created:
 https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/pci_passthrough_cross_project

Since the juno etherpad now contains the contents of the other, it seems
that someone has cut and pasted. Nice. I think we can frame the
discussion topics a little more clearly prior to the session though, so
maybe a brief gathering for that purpose would be useful?

One goal might be (as I think Dan alludes to) to provide some background
and details so the participants of the session can engage in
constructive dialogue. Dan provides a good outline:

 - Introduction - get up to speed

   What is the most effective way to outline for this particular
   audience so that they can participate?

 - What the caveats are.

   Are these our use cases? In a matter of speaking they are. One of
   them is also a question that needs answering.

 - What are we trying to solve?
   B. C. D. and E.?

   IMO, if there things we don't agree on at the moment, it is perfectly
   fine and probably preferable to present the problem and the alternate
   views (albeit objectively and evenly) in the session. Walking in with
   unresolved questions and walking out with the same questions is kind
   of a fail. Walking out with new unresolved questions is, IMO,
   fine... and probably likely ;)

 - We probably need to get to the what we are going to do for Juno
   question for this to be a good win. This could be satisfy use case X
   and Y and might be distressingly underwhelming or
   overambitious... this is something else that we might want to talk
   about as having some idea of what we want to accomplish vis-a-vis use
   cases and why, a prioritization, etc. is something that could be
   brought up in a session and discussed.

In any case, it goes without saying that coming away from the session
with something actionable and acceptable to the community is the
ultimate objective. A really strong understanding of what is needed for
acceptable nova blueprints for SRIOV (and why we haven't gotten there
yet maybe) would be super!

If getting together to further prepare for the session is something of
interest, I am free on Monday starting late morning. The rest of my
schedule is resolving, but I have firm commitments on mid-afternoon
Tuesday and Wednesday and will not be available then.

Cheers,

Brent
