Subject: [OpenStack Foundation] Finding people to work on the EC2 API in Nova

Hi,

as you might have read on openstack-dev, the Nova EC2 API implementation is in a pretty sad state. I wont repeat all of those details here -- you can read the thread on openstack-dev for detail.

However, we got here because no one is maintaining the code in Nova for the EC2 API. This is despite repeated calls over the last 18 months (at least).

So, does the Foundation have a role here? The Nova team has failed to find someone to help us resolve these issues. Can the board perhaps find resources as the representatives of some of the largest contributors to OpenStack? Could the Foundation employ someone to help us our here?

I suspect the correct plan is to work on getting the stackforge replacement finished, and ensuring that it is feature compatible with the Nova implementation. However, I don't want to preempt the design process -- there might be other ways forward here.

I feel that a continued discussion which just repeats the last 18 months wont actually fix the situation -- its time to "break out" of that mode and find other ways to try and get someone working on this problem.

Thoughts welcome.

Michael
