I was recently going through the list of things to which I'm trying to pay attention and realized there are quite a few small software projects that are OpenStack-related that could do with additional attention because I'm either the sole or one of few maintainers. Some of these are hosted on OpenStack^wOpendev infra, some not. If you're interested in helping out, please have a look and feel free to ask me questions. Many are in some state of either disrepair or incompleteness because they were adopted from absentee owners. Paste: WSGI middleware management framework https://github.com/cdent/paste This was recently adopted because it had issues with Python 3.7 and there were concerns that OpenStack's continued use might present problems. I've also just inherited the pastedeploy package, and will be migrating it over to github too. It will also need some help. Use Flask instead. WSME: Web Service Made Easy (ha!) http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/wsme For a brief period back in the day, this was the recommended way to make a web service in OpenStack. Soon after that it was abandoned by its maintainers and Lucas Gomez and I were press-ganged into maintaining it. It still gets the occasional patch to fix testing or Python 3 -related bugs. Does anyone still use this? Use Flask instead. microversion-parse: Library and WSGI middleware for parsing microversion headers http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/microversion-parse This was extracted from placement's implementation for handling microversions. It tries to be framework agnostic, but is biased somewhat towards WebOb. It's nominally under the management of the API-SIG but it would be good to see it getting more use and thus more fixes. It's also used in Nova, not sure where else. wsgi-intercept: Intercept socket connection to wsgi applications for testing https://github.com/cdent/wsgi-intercept A convenient way to do functional testing of WSGI applications without needing to run a separate process but while still doing legit HTTP. Is used in nova and placement, and may still be used in the telemetry projects. It's old but very useful. It's at the core of gabbi. gabbi: Declarative HTTP Testing for Python and anything else https://github.com/cdent/gabbi YAML-driven testing of HTTP APIs that makes live _so_ _much_ _easier_. Was developed when I was working on telemetry, and is now central to the functional testing of placement. gabbi-tempest: A tempest plugin for using gabbi https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/gabbi-tempest A tempest plugin + zuul job to make it super easy to use gabbi tests for driving integration tests in OpenStack, by mostly adding some YAML. If you're interested, great! Please let me know or simply start fixing things. -- Chris Dent ٩◔̯◔۶ https://anticdent.org/ freenode: cdent tw: @anticdent
