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 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?
Best regards,
Alfredo

Given that the SIG chair is incommunicado, are you suggesting yourself as the new SIG chair? Or is someone else volunteering for this?

I'm fine with chairing NFV Sig for this new limited purpose unless someone from the previous members show up. I'll see if I can engage someone from the NFV area to maintain vpp or other related packages for CentOS 8 too.

Hi,
I've been approved as the new chair for NFV SIG.
I'd like to organize an irc meeting with all interested maintainers to discuss the goals and next actions of the SIG with the rest of the members. I'm proposing the meeting for the July 21st, 15:00 UCT time in #centos-meeting, the agenda is in:
https://review.rdoproject.org/etherpad/p/NFVSIG-meeting
If you are interested in being involved in the SIG in some way, please join us and feel free to add your topics in the agenda.
Best regards,
Alfredo
