I want to open the discussion of an OpenStack Client Tools program proposal to a wider audience.  It would initially consist of OpenStackClient and eventually add the existing SDK projects as they are ready to join. The initial wiki page is at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ClientTools.  I do want to have the proposal made before the summit, but not necessarily the TC consideration.

There has recently been some discussion (specifically around summit sessions) regarding the overlap of client code and the user experience team.  This is one of the things I want to get some feedback on before making a formal proposal.

The mission statement and description are written with the anticipation of one or more SDK projects joining the program during the Juno cycle.

Hi Dean,

This is great. We’ve been working towards providing a better developer experience (DX) in OpenStack over the past few Summits.

To give you some background there have been design summit sessions like the SDK Discussion [1] [2] and Documenting Application Developer Resources [3] [4] as well as summit sessions like The OpenStack Community Welcomes Developers in All Languages [5].

We’ve also got some summit sessions for Juno in You Sir, Sir Vey [6] and Focusing on Developer Experience and Announcing developer.openstack.org<http://developer.openstack.org> [7].

We would definitely like to discuss your proposal and join together for a DX related program, whether that’s part of a larger DX/UX program or not. I think calling it just “Client Tools” is too limiting because it’s about more than just tools.

Considering how close we are to the summit, is there a time/place/particular session where you’d like to discuss it?

Thanks,
Everett
