I am 100% behind this effort. In fact, Glance can/should be a perfect candidate to test this kind of common code.
AFAICT, the things that need to be done to make this a reality are: 1) Get openstack-common gated in Gerrit 2) Get it packaged and installable via apt-get and pip 3) Identify a project to start replacing pieces with openstack-common modules I am volunteering Glance to be #3. When can #1 and #2 be ready to go? -jay On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 12:00 PM, Mark McLoughlin <mar...@redhat.com> wrote: > Hi Dan, > > I've just now posted the plans Jason and I have for openstack-common > here: > > http://wiki.openstack.org/CommonLibrary > > Thanks for poking us into doing it! :) > > Any help you can give would be awesome.
