Hi, Mr Gordon,
Firstly, sorry for my lately reply for this BP..
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/driver-for-huawei-fusioncompute
Honestly speaking, we wrote the first FusionCompute Nova-driver on Folsom
edition, and now it has been updated with Havana. We maintained by ourselves.
Now I have a question about your suggestion in whiteboard of this BP:
Is the CI environment a required term for this BP? Now Huawei is preparing
the CI environment for Nova Neutron.
But due to the company's policy, it's not a easy thing to realize it rapidly.
We'll try our best for it.
Yes, CI is a requirement for adding a new driver, please see:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-July/011260.html
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix/DeprecationPlan
So can we commit the codes, and prepare the CI at the same time?
That's a good question, I don't think that is feasible for Icehouse,
but as far as I know we haven't fully discussed how to introduce new
drivers now that we have the third party testing requirement.
An alternate option is to add FusionCompute support to libvirt, and
since nova already supports libvirt you will get nova support
automatically.
P.S. Now we're also preparing some materials for introducing FusionCompute,
like Dan suggesting in whiteboard of this BP. But this week is the Chinese
Spring-Festival holiday, so this work may be finished latterly, so I hope we
can understand it.
Thanks very much.
