Time for another summary I think, because announcing the review day seems to have caused a rush of new specs to be filed (which wasn't really my intention, but hey). We did approve a fair few specs on the review day, so I think overall it was a success. Here's an updated summary of the state of play: API Add more detailed network information to the metadata server: review 85673. Add separated policy rule for each v2.1 api: review 127863. Add user limits to the limits API (as well as project limits): review 127094. Allow all printable characters in resource names: review 126696. Consolidate all console access APIs into one: review 141065. Expose the lock status of an instance as a queryable item: review 127139 (abandoned); review 85928 (approved). Extend api to allow specifying vnic_type: review 138808. Implement instance tagging: review 127281 (fast tracked, approved). Implement the v2.1 API: review 126452 (fast tracked, approved).

From my email last week on the topic: I am pleased to announce that the specs process for nova in kilo is now open. There are some tweaks to the previous process, so please read this entire email before uploading your spec! Blueprints approved in Juno =========================== For specs approved in Juno, there is a fast track approval process for Kilo. The steps to get your spec re-approved are: - Copy your spec from the specs/juno/approved directory to the specs/kilo/approved directory. Note that if we declared your spec to be a "partial" implementation in Juno, it might be in the implemented directory. This was rare however. - Update the spec to match the new template - Commit, with the "Previously-approved: juno" commit message tag - Upload using git review as normal Reviewers will still do a full review of the spec, we are not offering a rubber stamp of previously approved specs. However, we are requiring only one +2 to merge these previously approved specs, so the process should be a lot faster. A note for core reviewers here -- please include a short note on why you're doing a single +2 approval on the spec so future generations remember…
