Hi,
During the last years OpenVswitch and OVN have become a major dependency for several projects and SIGs in the CentOS ecosystem, including OpenStack, oVirt and OpenShift. During this time each project has been following its own way with limited coordination (just some opportunistic cross-tagging between SIGs) and different approaches, rebuilding Fedora builds or FDP srpms from ftp.redhat.com http://ftp.redhat.com from time to time in their own tags and repos.
This has led to multiple issues and suboptimal usage resources so I think a good step ahead would be to use existing NFV SIG [1] as a collaboration area for all the interested projects to build, test and ship OpenvSwitch and OVN using public SRPMs from Fast Datapath [2].
What I'm proposing is that the interested people in becoming maintainers for OVS/OVN in NFV Sig request membership to nfv-sig group [3]. Then, we'll coordinate to request new tags/buildroots for OVS/OVN and start building and testing the required releases.
Any thoughts on this proposal?
I think this would be efficient. I already applied to become a member of sig-nfv to help.
Best regards,
Alfredo

Adding kb as NFV Sig chair.
What needs to be done to get this moving on?, some maintainers (including myself) have requested access to nfv-sig group but there has been no response.
What's the status of NFV SIG?
