<div>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
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ClientTools">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ClientTools</a>. I do want to have the proposal made before the summit, but not necessarily the TC consideration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>

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

<div>Hi Dean,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is great. We’ve been working towards providing a better developer experience (DX) in OpenStack over the past few Summits. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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]. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’ve also got some summit sessions for Juno in You Sir, Sir Vey [6] and Focusing on Developer Experience and Announcing
<a href="http://developer.openstack.org">developer.openstack.org</a> [7].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Considering how close we are to the summit, is there a time/place/particular session where you’d like to discuss it?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Everett</div>
