We also provided preview +charmed support for Masakari. + +For the Ussuri cycle we look to further improve existing features as well as +implement new charm features and new charms. + +Over several cycles we have developed a good framework for our reactive charm +development of OpenStack related charms. This framework has also been adopted +for use by non-OpenStack components. I think it is worth taking some time to +analyze which building blocks attract non-OpenStack components, and perhaps +move the generally applicable parts of the framework down a layer to make it +available for general consumption. In the spirit of Open Development this will +provide us with benefits we can reap for OpenStack in the long term. + +Cheers, + +Frode Nordahl
