Open Stack

Greetings OpenStack community,

Small group today, mostly edleafe and I (cdent) speaking to one another, with the ghostly presence of dtantsur lurking nearby. Main action today is that we finally merged the Interoperability Guideline (links below). It took months of sometimes heated discussion to reach a consensus, but we have one now. The other big change in play is a series related to version discovery and effective use of service types.

elmiko and I will be at summit, hosting an API-WG BOF session [4]. Please attend if you have the time and interest.

There will be no API-WG meeting 11th of May. We'll return to normal business on the 18th.
