New Contributors

• improved "getting started as a dev" docs (code organization, design overview)

New Deployers

• geo replicas (proxy affinity + tiered zones + separate replication interface)
• ring server w/ auto device detection
• remote testing tool (if functests are sufficient, then at least docs)
• concurrent reads to a single object
• on-disk compression

New Client Apps

• improved language bindings
• better docs about ideal client access patters for swift
• better docs about designing datasets to be stored in swift

New End Users

• tiered storage cluster
• better traversal abstractions (how can I get a listing of a large container)
• metadata searching
• server-side object splitting (large single-stream upload)
• multi-range support
• CORS support
• on-disk encryption
• API v2

Basic "Be More Awesome" Things (Misc)

• FS-specific tuning (eg better disk walking)
• replication improvements: eg ring-version-aware communication, "replicate now" (or general replication priority) support
• remove webob
• replace eventlet
• container sharding

Therefore, what are the summit plans?

• See Swift topic proposals at http://summit.openstack.org

Any outstanding concerns or questions
