Changing Microversion Headers
- The API working group would like to change the format of headers used for microversions to make them more future proof before too many projects are using them.
- Proposed guideline [8].
- This came up in another guide for header non-proliferation [9].
- After plenty of discussions, and with projects already deploying microversions (Nova, Ironic, Manila) the proposal is change basic from:
- X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version: 2.11
- OpenStack-Compute-API-Version: 2.11
- To:
- OpenStack-API-Version: compute 2.11
- This allows us to use one header name for multipel services and avoids some of the problems described in the header non-proliferation guideline [9].

OpenStack Contributor Awards
- The Foundation would like introduce some informal quirky awards to recognize the extremely valuable work that we all do to make Openstack excel.
- With many different areas to celebrate, there are a few main chunks of the community that need a little love:
- Those who might not be aware that they are valued, particularly new contributors
- Those who are the active glue that binds the community together
- Those who share their hard-earned knowledge with others and mentor
- Those who challenge assumptions, and make us think
- Nominate someone who you think is deserving of an awards [10]!

Status Of Python 3 In OpenStack Mitaka
- 13 services were ported to Python 3 during the Mitaka cycle: Cinder, Glance, Heat, Horizon, etc.
- 9 services still need to be ported
- Next Milestone: Functional and integration tests
- “Ported to Python 3” means that all unit tests pass on Python 3.4 which is verified by a voting gate job. It is not enough to run applications in production with Python 3. Integration and functional tests are not run on Python 3 yet.
