+    <body>
+      <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>This work goal 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>Libvirt hypervisor driver for bhyve.</li>
+
+	<li>Support for bhyve (via the libvirt compute driver) and the
+	  &os; platform in overall in <tt>nova-compute</tt>.</li>
+
+	<li>Port OpenContrail vRouter (forwarding plane kernel module)
+	  to &os;.</li>
+
+	<li>Port OpenContrail Agent (network controller node) to
+	  &os;.</li>
+
+	<li>Integration, performance optimization.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The current state of the development allows for a working demo
+	of OpenStack with compute node component running on a &os;
+	host:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>The native bhyve hypervisor is driven by a
+	  <tt>nova-compute</tt> component for spawning guest instances
+	  using libvirt and a <tt>nova-network</tt> component for
+	  providing simple networking using bridges between guest
+	  VMs.</li>
+
+	<li>QEMU might also be used instead of the bhyve this way.</li>
+
+	<li>The main goal on the networking side is to use OpenContrail
+	  solution, compliant with the modern OpenStack networking API
+	  ("neutron").</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Also, initial port of the OpenContrail vRouter kernel module
+	has been completed.  It successfully handles all networking on
+	the host.</p>
