Well Todd, I was thinking about leader election or master election, let's say the controller node ( the one with keystone, glance or mysql) fails and the other nodes need to elect a new controller nodes among them with algorithms like:
- Chang-Robert - Hirschberg Sinclair - Peterson - Paxos You know, maybe OpenStack needs something like Apache Zookeeper in the Hadoop ecosystem. Security Issues, I meant any problems that OpenStack needs to resolve like user privilege escalation, but I think that's already being taken care of. I also heard that you will integrate the Cloud Audit api into OpenStack but haven't seen any news about this. So those are some ideas I have but I was expecting to help resolve some problems openstack is having or at least do the research on how to resolve those problems. I'd want to do a development research but I guess exploratory is fine. I only have a year to do this thesis anyway. About guidance? Maybe a mentor to get into the code quickly and to get questions answered more quickly. About time? As I said earlier you can have me for a full year..
