Open Stack

Greetings OpenStack community,

As is our recent custom, short meeting this week. Our main topic of conversation was discussing the planning etherpad [7] for the API-SIG gathering at the Denver PTG. If you will be there, and have topics of interest, please add them to the etherpad.

There are no new guidelines under review, but there is a stack of changes which do some reformatting and explicitly link to useful resources [8].

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!
