Hi everyone,

With the recent unfortunate news about OSIC ending abruptly and several 
Nova developers no longer being able to work on the project, I wanted to 
go over the list of blueprints which were approved for Pike and which 
now no longer have an owner. I am starting this thread to look for 
owners for each blueprint. If you have questions about picking one up 
but you're maybe too shy to ask questions about it in the mailing list, 
feel free to email me directly or send me a private message in IRC. The 
list is in no particular order.

* 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/live-migration-per-instance-timeout

This is not started but there is a spec with the design.

* 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/remove-discoverable-policy-rules

This is not started but is a specless blueprint that is straight-forward.

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/remove-nova-cert

This is not started but should be pretty straightforward, and has a spec 
with the details.

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-rescue-mode

The nova side of this is dependent on Ironic changes which were owned by 
OSIC developers. So the nova blueprint is effectively blocked now.

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/live-migrate-rescued-instances

This is started, and was picked up from some work started by HPE in 
previous releases. I'm not sure what state it is in however.

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/policy-docs

Most of this is done. There might be a few more non-discoverable policy 
rules that need documentation, but I haven't gone through what's left in 
detail yet.

* 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/prep-for-network-aware-scheduling-pike

I'm not sure if John is going to continue trying to work on this or not 
yet, but I think it would probably be good to get a helping hand here 
regardless as it's stalled since Newton (really due to lack of reviews).

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/use-service-tokens-pike

This was started and made progress in Ocata but needs someone to take 
over the remaining changes. This overlaps somewhat with 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/use-service-catalog-for-endpoints.

* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/centralize-config-options-pike

This is an ongoing multi-contributor effort. Stephen Finucane would be a 
good organizer here if no one else is interested in formally "owning" it.

* 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/live-migration-force-after-timeout

This has been started but needs work. There is also a spec for the design.

If you are interested in owning one of these, please reply so I and 
others know, or contact me privately.

Thanks,
