Open Stack

Greetings OpenStack community,

It was a fairly quick meeting today, as we weren't able to find anything to argue about. That doesn't happen too often. :)

We agreed that the revamped HTTP guidelines [8] should be merged, as they were strictly formatting changes, and no content change. We also merged the change to update the errors guidance [9] to use service-type instead of service-name, as that had been frozen last week, with no negative feedback since then.

We still have not gotten a lot of feedback from the SDK community about topics to discuss at the upcoming Vancouver Forum. If you are involved with SDK development and have something you'd like to discuss there, please reply to the openstack-dev mailing list thread [7] with your thoughts.

As always if you're interested in helping out, in addition to coming to the meetings, there's also:

* The list of bugs [5] indicates several missing or incomplete guidelines.
* The existing guidelines [2] always need refreshing to account for changes over time. If you find something that's not quite right, submit a patch [6] to fix it.
* Have you done something for which you think guidance would have made things easier but couldn't find any? Submit a patch and help others [6].

# Highlighting your API impacting issues

If you seek further review and insight from the API SIG about APIs that you are developing or changing, please address your concerns in an email to the OpenStack developer mailing list[1] with the tag "[api]" in the subject. In your email, you should include any relevant reviews, links, and comments to help guide the discussion of the specific challenge you are facing.

To learn more about the API SIG mission and the work we do, see our wiki page [4] and guidelines [2].

Thanks for reading and see you next week!
