  2. topics of general concern (colindixon, 14:36:58)
    1. https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-March/004876.html migrating to storing addresses in a canonical format (colindixon, 14:38:06)
    2. the basic issues is that the way we currently store most addresses allows for strings that are logically equal (de:ad::be:ef vs. DE:AD::BE:EF) but are not actually equal which can lead to bugs or at the very least lots of having to do canonicaliztion in every place we uses stuff (colindixon, 14:40:21)
    3. regXboi is concerned that the conversation has migrated away from the principal of "be conservative in what you send, liberal in what you accept" (regXboi, 14:41:15)
    4. regXboi is further concerned that the conversion may be shoehorned into the md-sal/yang model (regXboi, 14:41:39)
    5. regXboi thinks that the best place for such conversion is the code that acts as the ODL entry point for the value in the first place (regXboi, 14:42:24)
    6. alagalah and tbachman say they are openeing bugs with openflow{java,plugin} (colindixon, 14:43:19)
    7. http://pastebin.com/Mkag1pRn (colindixon, 14:43:27)
    8. ACTION: abhijitkumbhare to follow up with the bugs that gbp is finding in ofj/ofp (colindixon, 14:45:26)
    9. the initial yang model for neutron in https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/15989/ has been merged (regXboi, 14:49:10)
    10. there are edits to it in queue as we adjust it to the openstack data models (regXboi, 14:49:33)
    11. https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/15989/ link to the patch that will show up in the minutes (colindixon, 14:49:46)

    13. regXboi and ttkacik have more conversations on the DE:AD::BE:EF in the backgrond (see the full logs) (colindixon, 14:51:46)
    14. as part of M3 (which all projects have passed) is to provide an outline for their documentation (colindixon, 14:52:24)

    24. we have weird breakage in bgpcep as a consequence (rovarga_, 14:58:44)
    25. still diagnosing and trying to figure out WT?, but we may end up needing a revert (rovarga_, 14:59:07)
    26. while rovarga_ knows of breakage in bgpcep first hand, other projects should check (regXboi, 15:00:02)
