Our notes are in the etherpad [1], but as part of the "Write it Down” theme for Oslo this cycle I am also posting a summary of the outcome here on the mailing list for wider distribution. Let me know if you remembered the outcome for any of these modules differently than what I have written below.

I left out the cliutils module, which we are treating the same as apiclient. The python-openstackclient project replaces cliutils, so we are deprecating that as well.
