Sync

Any change in OpenStack must be carefully reviewed. Don't expect to see your changes commited immediatly, you will probably have to discuss with the "core developers" of each project to enhance your patch, to make it fit the coding style of the project.

If you want to work on a component (ex: neutron, nova, etc.), please write the component name with your name below:

• <component>: <developer name>

If you send a patch, please add it to the list below:
