+      <p>OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools
+	of compute, storage, and networking resources in a data center.
+	OpenContrail is a network virtualization (SDN) solution
+	comprising network controller, virtual router and analytics
+	engine, which can be integrated with cloud orchestration systems
+	like OpenStack or CloudStack.</p>
+
+      <p>The goal of this work is to enable &os; as a fully supported
+	compute host for OpenStack, using OpenContrail virtualized
+	networking.  The main areas of development are the
+	following:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>OpenStack compute driver (<tt>nova-compute</tt>) for the
+	  &os; <tt>bhyve(4)</tt> hypervisor.</li>
+
+	<li>OpenContrail vRouter (forwarding-plane kernel module) port
+	  to &os;.</li>
+
+	<li>Integration, performance optimizations.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The current state of development features a working demo of
+	OpenStack with compute node components running on a &os; host:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>The native <tt>bhyve(4)</tt> hypervisor is driven by a
+	  <tt>nova-compute</tt> component for spawning guest instances
+	  and a <tt>nova-network</tt> component for providing simple
+	  networking between those guests.</li>
+
+	<li>The <tt>nova-network</tt> approach (based on local host
+	  bridging) is becoming an obsolete technology in OpenStack and
+	  was used here only for a demonstration and proof-of-concept
+	  purposes, without exploring all the possible features.</li>
+
+	<li>The main objective is to move to OpenContrail-based
+	  networking, therefore become compliant with the modern OpenStack
+	  networking API ("neutron").</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>This project is sponsored by Juniper Networks, Inc.</p>
