[openstack-dev] Introducing Synaps project that provides AWS CloudWatch compatible API

Endre, 
I'm still trying to early open our Synaps project day by day.

Good news: we've almost finished our internal review so that we can 
upload source codes this week. Hopefully we can begin tomorrow.

I hope we can get some feedback from developers gathered in the Summit
who have interests in Synaps this week. If it's possible, I will try to 
persuade others to hasten to open sources first even without enough 
documentation and other preparations.
Personally I'm really curious what you (esp, developers from ceilometer
and heat) will talk about our project and current status. 
Both positive and negative feedback will be helpful, IMO.

Thanks,
Joonwon

Dear Mark,
Thanks for your kind advice again.

Now I understand that there is a license issue. I also heard from
inside that we may have a patent issue unless our patent team verify
Synaps won't violate any other patents. We definitely need some time
for preparing the contribution of our project to the open community.
Again I will try to shorten it, but I cannot let you see our codes
before the Design Summit next week. I'm really sorry about that.

Mark, Eoghan, Steve, Endre, Nick, Doug, Sam, Thierry, thanks you all
for having interests in our project. We will continue our efforts
to show Synaps to you soon.

Still I welcome any comments, advices, questions, etc. about Synaps.

Regards,
Joonwon Lee

Thank you for your efforts

Actually, I don't think this is such a good idea. If you shared the code
outside Samsung, the license you're sharing it under would not be clear
at this point and if the code doesn't eventually licensed under the
Apache License it potentially could cause legal trouble.

Thanks,
Mark.
