Hi,

Thanks for your interest on Blazar. The existing core team has been 
reallocated on various other projects so we ended doing regular updates 
to the repository since around 6 months. That said, as it is an 
open-source project, anybody can contribute and I would be glad to 
review some changes, provided they are not time-consuming.

Last discussion with TC members in Atlanta (for the Juno summit) showed 
that there are benefits to have a reservation system in OpenStack, but 
the thought was that it would probably be something related to the 
Compute program, ie. something that Nova could leverage.

As the current Nova scheduler is about to be spined off in a separate 
project called Gantt, I'm IMHO thinking (and that's my sole opinion) 
that Blazar could maybe merge with Gantt so that the existing backend 
would allow new APIs for Gantt by asking to select a destination later 
in time than now.

That said, Gantt is far from being a separate repository now, as we're 
struggling to reduce the technical debt on Nova for splitting out the 
scheduler so I wouldn't expect any immediate benefit for Gantt nor 
Blazar now.

As many people are looking around Blazar and Gantt, I think it would be 
interesting to setup a BoF session during the Vancouver Summit about 
reservations and SLA in OpenStack so that we could see how we could move on.
