Nova devs (especially cores): In this week's scheduler meeting [1] we fondly recalled our vigorous agreement at the PTG to merge the big stuff early in the cycle. We lamented the extent to which Sydney + Thanksgiving drained our review resources for much of November, and shed a tear in anticipation of the dreaded Holiday Season having a similar effect in December. As such, we resolved to request a deliberate and focussed effort to review and merge outstanding patches associated with the three major Queens priorities [2] this week. For your convenience, here is a handy list of said patches/series: => Nested Resource Providers. Series starting at: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/377138/ => Alternate Hosts. Series starting at: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/499239/ => Migration fix-ups. - Make live migration hold resources with a migration allocation: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507638/ - POST /allocations for multiple consumers: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/500073/ => GET /allocation_candidates - traits, sharing, and lots of tests. Series starting at: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/517027/ => Symmetric get and put and post to /allocations: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/510626/ Many thanks in advance.
