Open Stack

Greetings stackers!

We are deep in the freeze ... so here's what people are working on in the VMwareAPI sub-team and here's the reviews in order from most ready on top to least ready on the bottom. Some of these are *very* ready with 8 +1 reviews... others need some attention and revision. Let's try and get no more than a day between when a review has a negative vote and a revision. The merge freeze for blueprints is September 5th, so please keep the pressure on.
