Introduction

Welcome to Last week on OpenStack Dev (“Lwood”) for the week just past. For more background on Lwood, please refer here.

Basic Stats for week 22 to 28 – August 2016 for openstack-dev:

• ~363 Messages (down about 8.5% relative to last week)
• ~161 Unique threads (down about 5% relative to last week)

Traffic down again this week, some 37% below the long term average from starting Lwood in June 2015. Paraphrasing an OpenStack savvy friend of mine “More typey typey and reviewy reviewy, less talky talky” – feature finalisation time so less conversations :)

Notable Discussions – openstack-dev

Gerrit Storyboard integration live

Zara Zaimeche penned an update on Storyboard, one of the coolest things mentioned was that the integration with Gerrit is now live.  She even gives an example of how you can tinker with this new functionality in a test instance if you don’t have any pressing patches to send.

New API landing page for API docs collection

Anne Gentle’s post notes that some further work has been done towards having a single landing page for all API related docs – a key part of making OpenStack a bit more user friendly for (technical!) consumers.

Subteam and Mid-Cycle Reports
