Open Stack

Greetings OpenStack community,

This week's meeting of the working group saw some conversation about 
activities related to API topics at the upcoming OpenStack summit. There 
will be a "birds of a feather" session for the working group on 
Wednesday from 12:15-12:55, please see our etherpad for topics[7]. There 
will also an API usability study being done on Monday, for more 
information please see the official wiki[8] and the etherpad with 
suggested topics[9].

We also have frozen 2 guidelines for review by the OpenStack community, 
please see the section below for links.

Finally, there will be no meeting of the working group next week Oct 27 
as most of the community will be focusing on the summit.

# Guidelines currently under review [6]

There are no other guidelines currently under active review by the 
working group.

# API Impact reviews currently open

Reviews marked as APIImpact [1] are meant to help inform the working 
group about changes which would benefit from wider inspection by group 
members and liaisons. While the working group will attempt to address 
these reviews whenever possible, it is highly recommended that 
interested parties attend the API WG meetings [2] to promote 
communication surrounding their reviews.

To learn more about the API WG mission and the work we do, see OpenStack 
API Working Group [3].

Thanks for reading and see you next week!
