Great!
All of the items that I realistically expected anyone to take have now
been claimed.
If there is anyone out there who would really like to contribute, let
me know and I will dig up something relevant.
Here is my updated list, then.

Subject: Task List for Open vSwitch Hackathon Sep. 6 and 7
This email is an update for the initial hackathon plan that I sent out
earlier this month. Everything in that email is still accurate. You
can read the earlier email at:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/announce/2013-August/000053.html
The main purpose of this email is to answer questions I've had from a
few people about what work needs to be done. If you want to volunteer
for something (either on one of the lists below or something else),
please mention it to me or on ovs-dev.
Claimed Tasks
-------------
The following tasks have been tentatively claimed already:
* Groups are in!
* Andy Zhou has volunteered to implement OFPT_TABLE_MOD. (He
might implement the OF1.3 more flexible table miss support,
which is related.)
* Simon Horman is working on MPLS.
* Alexandru Copot <alex.miha...@gmail.com> is working on
OFPT_GET_ASYNC_REQUEST and OFPT_GET_ASYNC_REPLY.
* Simon Horman is working on implementing the Write-Actions
instruction (and has already submitted code!).
* Gurucharan Shetty <gshe...@nicira.com> is working on the ability
for OFPT_FLOW_MOD to delete flows in all tables.
* Daniel Baluta <dbal...@ixiacom.com> is working on on-demand flow
counters, e.g. OFPFF_NO_PKT_COUNTS and OFPFF_NO_BYT_COUNTS.
* Venkitachalam Gopalakrishnan <g...@vmware.com> is working on
QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST and QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages.
OVS has never implemented these at all, which is more or less a
bug. We should implement at least stubs for these.
* Kyle Mestery <kmest...@cisco.com> and Pritesh Kothari
<pritk...@cisco.com> are working on:
- Rework tag order.
- OpenFlow 1.3+ multipart requests infrastructure.
Unclaimed Tasks (Small, Required)
---------------------------------
The following tasks could use volunteers. These tasks are all
required for OpenFlow compliance. My guess is that an average
developer could build any of these within the two days of the
hackathon or less. Roughly in order of increasing amount of work:
* All tasks have been claimed! Email me if you really want to
take something on.
Unclaimed Tasks (Large, Optional)
---------------------------------
The following tasks could also use volunteers. All of them are also,
coincidentally, optional according to the OpenFlow specification. My
guess is that each of these would require more than two days of work.
Most of them require kernel work. (I don't realistically expect
anyone to do these for the hackathon, but you never know.)
* QinQ.
* VLANs with 88a8 Ethertype.
* OFPMP_TABLE_FEATURES. (This requires the multipart requests
infrastructure.)
* Per-flow meters implementation for ofproto-dpif.
* Auxiliary connections.
* PBB tagging.
Stickers
--------
The stickers are a go! I've ordered a batch of 5"x3" stickers labeled
"I <3 OVS". They should arrive the week after the hackathon and then
I'll mail them to anyone outside the Palo Alto local area. The
design, by Duffie Cooley, is here:
