Sprints/PyCon2013

= OpenStack Swift API Sprint at PyCon 2013 = Hosted by SwiftStack and Red Hat

PyCon 2013, March 18 (first sprint day)

The focus is to promote clients writing against the Swift API

Client Apps

 * Migration tool (import/export between Swift and S3)
 * Metadata explorer
 * given a large dataset in Swift, tell me about it
 * Sync a filesystem into Swift
 * Django interface, persistent caching
 * Improve Swift support in OpenStack Horizon
 * Improve the existing swift client (python-swiftclient)
 * Improve swift3
 * Add Swift support to s3cmd
 * Improve existing user-space tools like swiftly, cloudfuse, etc.
 * build a website that stores data in swift
 * (maybe get NewsBlur to support Swift in addition to S3)
 * maybe something like a very simple form uploader to upload data into swift (drop into a webapp and data is uploaded directly to swift)
 * build a mobile web client for Swift
 * Build a dropbox replacement
 * Break out into 2 sections: developer tools and client apps?
 * a dev tool would aid those in building swift apps
 * a client app is any app that uses the Swift API

Server-side Tools

 * Middleware to transform data coming out of swift
 * an rst parser (serve rst objects as html)
 * a torrent seeder
 * an image resizer or transcoder
 * thumbnail generator on 404
 * text translation middleware
 * really anything that you would like to do while serving (or receiving) data
