Open Stack

Hi everyone,

As a reminder we have a call schedule for tomorrow at 0700PDT/0900CDT/1400UTC. I would like to get into a discussion on how to begin implementing a POC for the new sync service project we started discussing in Dublin.

I tried to consolidate the notes that had happened in various places starting on line 91 of https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/edge-alans-problems

If you are interested in helping to kick off development of this project, please join us tomorrow morning: Meeting Link: https://zoom.us/j/777719876

Thanks,

Jonathan

I think it would allow us to move forward more quickly ... and is not that restrictive wrt being able to meet the requirements below.
