Thanks Bryan, a great call out for the Plugfest :-)

For those of you who have not registered, this is also a good reminder to
do so at https://www.regonline.com/OPNFVPlugfestDec2016.   The Hackfest
will also be co-located with the Plugfest and several community members
have started adding Hackfest topics to the wiki at
https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/EVNT/Co-located+Hackfest+Planning+Page

Cheers,

Ray
