Greetings OpenStack community,
This week's meeting[0] was relatively light, with some discussion about
the recently released Ethercalc[4], and the first draft of the API
compatiblity guideline[5] (many thanks to Chris Dent). The compatibility
guideline lays out some concrete standards by which projects can
definitely determine if they are following the API guidelines in
general, and how closely their efforts track. This work is part of the
foundation for creating an API compatiblity tag which projects can apply
for.
One reminder: Projects should make sure that their liaison information
is up to date at
http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/api-wg/liaisons.html . If not,
please provide a patch to doc/source/liaisons.json to update it.
One guideline was frozen this week.
