<p>I was chair of NFV SIG and active until early 2019. I let it
lapse because there was no interest and no attendance at meetings
and no packages because OVS was built elsewhere. There was no
interest in DPDK and RH pulled out of VPP/fd.io and ODL.</p>
<p>I have not been paying close attention to the mailing list for a
few months. Alfredo reached out to me and I am happy to help any
way I can.</p>
<p>I have been building OVS 2.12.0 RPMs on my own server for
CentOS8. I have a working package but had write a patch to disable
check because the Py2/3 stuff didn't seem to be working very well.
I haven't built anything in CBS for over a year.

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?

I think this would be efficient.
I already applied to become a member of sig-nfv to help.
