We need to keep the API’s consistent and the interfaces between the services well defined and stable.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>In addition, for me, one platform on high level means enablement, flexibility, consciousness about the needs of the industry and support of the integration points towards related projects/technologies. We need OpenStack to be modular with clear communication about the purpose of each service and guidance on how to build a platform by using them as Lego pieces, like how you have sample photos on the side of the box to give you ideas on what you might want.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>I think if we can achieve people seeing OpenStack as a box of Lego, tools, you name it, that enables them to build what they need as a base platform to run their applications on top we are on the right track. This needs good design, consistency and clear communication.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks,</div><div>Ildikó<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; direction: ltr;" class=""><div class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;"><div class=""><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><font size="3" face="Courier New" class="">Best Regards</font></div><font size="3" face="Courier New" class="">Chaoyi Huang (joehuang)</font></div></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">__________________________________________________________________________</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">Unsubscribe:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="mailto:OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org</a><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">?subject:unsubscribe</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</a></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
