First of all, I would like to say how glad I am to have seen the two recent messages regarding other OpenStack client-side projects. More projects like this raise the visibility of all of the client-side work as it illustrates the importance of the consumer side of OpenStack APIs in the minds of those watching what we do (/me waves at project managers and other corporate resource deciders).
## Meetings OSC has a split meeting schedule in an attempt to accommodate our diverse time zones. Part of the problem with that is keeping track of odd or even weeks and as a result we've been missing a couple of meetings. I do not plan to change the schedule[0], but I _do_ plan to start sending meeting reminders to the ML as that seems to work well for other teams with a split schedule. So here is the first: The next OpenStackClient meeting is set for Thursday May 4 at 1300 UTC in #openstack-meeting-3. ## 3.10.0 Release OpenStackClient 3.10.0 was released this morning and includes a number of things that I think bear highlighting. * With the removal of the nova-network/proxy code in novaclient we found ourselves with a hole and re-implemented the set of REST calls that OSC required to continue to support networks and security groups on nova-network clouds. In the process of doing this we discovered a CLI change that was required in 'network create', the --subnet option is actually required (for nova-network only) for the call to succeed so we now enforce that in the command. * One other incompatible CLI change is the requirement to include the positional argument <snapshot-name> in the 'volume snapshot create' command. Again what was implemented is not what was intended, and any command that includes both the --volume argument and the snapshot name will continue to work. The Backward Incompatible Changes doc[1] has more details on these changes. * A number of new Network API-based commands have been added, as this is already longer than most will read see the 3.10.0 Release Notes for details.[2] ## OSC Core Team I am of mixed emotions in announcing a couple of core team changes: Huanxuan Ao is leaving to focus on completing his thesis and Rui Chen has been added. They both have been doing excellent work for some time and we look forward to Rui joining the core team. Huanxuan, thank you very much, we appreciate all of your contributions to OSC and OpenStack in general. On a related note, OSC was affected pretty hard by the end of OSIC as a number of the people implementing new Network and Volume commands were impacted. Much of what we added in this release was contributed by that crew and we appreciate their contributions as well. There remains some unfinished work that we will sort out and re-prioritize as we talk to the affected projects. I plan to do some of that in Boston next week. If you have read this far, thank you. I do not write a lot, and when I do I seem to try to make up for that. dt [0] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#OpenStackClient_Team_Meeting [1] https://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/backwards-incompatible.html#release-3-10 [2] https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/python-openstackclient/unreleased.html#id1 -- Dean Troyer dtro...@gmail.com __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
