Changing Microversion Headers

• The API working group would like to change the format of headers used for microversions to make them more future proof before too many projects are using them.
  • Proposed guideline [8].
• This came up in another guide for header non-proliferation [9].
• After plenty of discussions, and with projects already deploying microversions (Nova, Ironic, Manila) the proposal is change basic from:
  • X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version: 2.11
  • OpenStack-Compute-API-Version: 2.11
• To:
  • OpenStack-API-Version: compute 2.11
• This allows us to use one header name for multipel services and avoids some of the problems described in the header non-proliferation guideline [9].

OpenStack Contributor Awards

• The Foundation would like introduce some informal quirky awards to recognize the extremely valuable work that we all do to make Openstack excel.
• With many different areas to celebrate, there are a few main chunks of the community that need a little love:
  • Those who might not be aware that they are valued, particularly new contributors
  • Those who are the active glue that binds the community together
  • Those who share their hard-earned knowledge with others and mentor
  • Those who challenge assumptions, and make us think
• Nominate someone who you think is deserving of an awards [10]!

Status Of Python 3 In OpenStack Mitaka

• 13 services were ported to Python 3 during the Mitaka cycle: Cinder, Glance, Heat, Horizon, etc.
• 9 services still need to be ported
• Next Milestone: Functional and integration tests
• “Ported to Python 3” means that all unit tests pass on Python 3.4 which is verified by a voting gate job. It is not enough to run applications in production with Python 3. Integration and functional tests are not run on Python 3 yet.
• Read the full status post [11] by Victor Stinner.
• Join Freenode channel #openstack-python3 to discuss and help out!
