Many people have asked for more insight into the developer activities for OpenStack as the large number of code changes and proposals make it difficult to monitor everything happening. In hopes of exposing more of the developer activities, I plan to post a weekly or biweekly blog post on the latest development activities. If you have any ideas for this blog post, please email me at [email protected]. I am always ready to listen to the community for new ideas.
Activities

This is select list of topics discussed this week in the developer mailing list and is not a complete list. Please visit the archive to see all the topics.

Session topics submissions are following a detailed process at http://wiki.openstack.org/Summit. Accepted sessions for the event are at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sprints/ods-d.
- Dotnet cloud file access – Jon Slenk asked about getting https://github.com/rackspace/csharp-cloudfiles to work with a local Swift install and is looking for assistance. Chuck Thier responded with some items to consider for C# bindings.
- Logging, 500, Debugging – Zed Shaw asks about debugging settings for the Swift product. Mike Barton responded that there is not a log of debug-level logging in the Swift proxy server. Zed indicated that he plans to write up some details about the discrepancies b/w LOG_LEVEL0 as the “default” in the docs.
