I think you meant, perhaps, to create the blueprint in the ceilometer project, which would be here: http://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer Best, -jay _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
