I have been scouring OpenStack artifacts to find examples of what
encourages good software design / patterns / architecture in the wider
system and code. The info will be used in teaching university students.
I suppose it would be good for new developers of the community too.
I found hacking.rst files, along with blueprints and bugs and code
reviews, but cant piece together a full picture of how good architecture
and design are encouraged via process and/or documents.
- Architecture descriptions (ex: http://www.aosabook.org/en/index.html )?
- Code standards?
- Design rules of thumb?
I see the Design Summits, but have not yet found in-depth design
recommendations or a process.
Perhaps oslo is a good start? It starts to feel that good patterns begin
either there or in projects, and then those good patterns start to move
into a shared location (or library) and then get adopted by others.
As for a process, the spec process is part of it IMHO, organically it
also happens by talking to people in the community and learning who the
experienced folks are and what there thoughts are on specs, code (the
review process) but that one (organic) is harder to pinpoint exactly
when it happens.
Does it come from Developers personal experience, or are there some sort
of artifacts to point at? I am looking for both specific examples of
design patterns, but more a meta of that. What encourages or describes
good design in OpenStack?
As an oslo core, I can point u at artifacts, but it depends on having
more information on what u want, because 'good design' and what
encourages it or discourages it is highly relative to the persons
definition of the word 'good' (which is connected itself to many things,
experience, time in community... prior designs/code/systems built...).
Thanks,
