Open Stack

Hello Anita,

Thank you for the email and for checking into the Postman open ness! There might be some mis-comunication here. Postman is not an official part of the project and never will be. Neither will any non-open source code base. As mentioned in the IRC logs, I personally like to perform additional manual tests of APIs when doing code reviews. I use both curl and also sometimes find the Postman browser plugin to be helpful, so was sharing that with others who might use it. If you do already have an open source browser plugin that has similar functionality I would very much like to take advantage of it for my personal testing, because you are certainly right that we don’t want to seem as thought we are endorsing non-open tool sets!

Thank you!
Travis

The purpose will be to walk through the Liberty Blueprints / Bugs and finalize the list for Liberty 3. I promised to create a doodle poll for choosing the time, so here it is:
