At the ops midcycle dhellmann talked with Chris Hoge about some of the issues the DefCore team is encountering with establishing the correct versions of APIs, with changes to APIs, and with the tests for our APIs. This led to the mailing list discussion about the Glance project priorities for Mitaka. A design summit session would be a chance to identify problem areas and work on solutions to ensure that all projects fully understand how they can and should be making changes while maintaining compatibility testing.
We should also work on improving communication between the contributor community and the DefCore committee. dhellmann also spoke with zehicle, and he's planning to be present at the session to help with that so when DefCore identifies potential issues, they can feed back into the project teams and vice versa.
