The next test is to prove that we as a community aren’t just paying lip service to interoperability by figuring out how to solve these problems sooner rather than later, because it’s going to be a while before users of OpenStack Powered (TM) clouds can depend on the solutions even if we wizarded up a magical set of patches that solved this today.

I am really happy we are now having this conversation, and thats all
thanks to DefCore.

What do you think is the best way to start tackling these sorts of things?  Cross-project specs?  Start nailing items to the TC meeting agendas?  Let ML discussions like this start driving priority lists [4] for the relevant projects?  Have inter-project liaisons [5] take it up?

I don't think Nova needs to be involved here, its a Glance API issue.
I hope the Glance folks correct me if I am talking rubbish.

Thanks,
John
