  • nov 5-8: http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/
  • us visa: http://hongkong.usconsulate.gov/acs_hkvisa.html
• How backwards compatible do we need to be with internal (i.e. non-user-facing) interfaces? This question was inspired by https://review.openstack.org/22820, which changes the format of a data structure in the WSGI environment that other middlewares may use, though none in the Swift codebase do.
• Path Control: Create an open interface to control the path used by Swift within devices (where within the device a/c/o/tmp/qurentined/async are placed).
  • Make sure any code approaching the device go via a central function (e.g. storage_directory() in utils) allowing monkey patching it or offering other ways to extend it
  • While we do it , we can extend storage_directory() to also append the basedir and device since this seem to be required by all its users.
• Next release June 27?
  • What out-standing reviews should we work to get in?
• Status of DIskFile API refactoring?
