On Demand Agenda

We can only pick one or two topics we can talk about in the time left of the meeting. People should add ideas to the topics section. We will select one or two topics we can discuss during the next meeting. Please follow the template below:

• June 2nd:
  • (nick): topic

• May 26th:
  • (ralonsoh) Add spec for Port Groups for Security Group Rules (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-specs/+/987786)
    • I'm Ok with the OVN change
    • I'm not OK with the Neutron DB change. The user "complexity" can be solved by updating the CLI and presenting the related SG rules grouped in a single line, reporting a list of ports and port ranges for the same protocol, direction, etc.
