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.

Hmm, that came out garbled. Let me try again:

cliutils is deprecated in favor of python-openstackclient, and everyone is encouraged to contribute to python-openstackclient instead.
