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.

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.

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.
