Greetings OpenStack community,
This week's meeting was lightly attended but provided a useful
discussion about the future of the working group and how we will
continue to improve the API experience for all OpenStack users. The
group is considering its role with respect to the guidelines that it
creates and how to not only increase our membership but also explore
other options for improving the overall state of API usability and
consistency within OpenStack. Although no firm actions have resulted
from this discussion, we have agreed to keep the topic open, have more
face to face conversations about it at the upcoming forum event, and to
reach out to other working groups with the intent to learn more about
community expectations and usages with regards to the APIs in OpenStack.
