Greetings OpenStack community, Another cozy meeting today, as conferences and summer holidays reduced our attendees. We mainly focused on the agenda [7] for the upcoming Denver PTG [8]. One item we added was consideration of a spec for common healthcheck middleware across projects [9]. This had been proposed back in January, and seemed to have a lot of initial interest, but there hasn't been any activity on it since March. There does seem to be some interest in it still, but no one with enough free cycles to keep it updated. So we invite anyone who has an interest in this to come to the API-SIG session at the PTG on Monday, or, if you can't make it, add your comments to the review.
Two of the patches [10][11] introduced by cdent last week were deemed to not be changes to the guidelines, but rather minor additions, so given that they were approved by the cores, they were merged. The remaining patch [12] involves a lot more thought and discussion; it could be the subject of a book all by itself! But we'd like to keep it short and to the point. We also don't have time to write a book! 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]. # Newly Published Guidelines * None # API Guidelines Proposed for Freeze * None # Guidelines that are ready for wider review by the whole community. * None # Guidelines Currently Under Review [3] * Add an api-design doc with design advice https://review.openstack.org/592003 * Update parameter names in microversion sdk spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/557773/ * Add API-schema guide (still being defined) https://review.openstack.org/#/c/524467/ * A (shrinking) suite of several documents about doing version and service discovery Start at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/459405/ * WIP: microversion architecture archival doc (very early; not yet ready for review) https://review.openstack.org/444892 # 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! # References [1] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev [2] http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/api-wg/ [3] https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/api-wg,n,z [4] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/API_SIG [5] https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-api-wg [6] https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/api-wg [7] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/api-sig-stein-ptg [8] https://www.openstack.org/ptg/ [9] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531456/ [10] https://review.openstack.org/589131 [11] https://review.openstack.org/589132 [12] https://review.openstack.org/592003 Meeting Agenda https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/API-SIG#Agenda Past Meeting Records http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/api_sig/ Open Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-api-wg -- Ed Leafe __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
