OpenStack hackathon, South Bay style. We'll have OpenStack core team members on hand for designing, coding, or advice, and if any beginners turn up then we'll run a presentation session explaining what OpenStack is and how it all fits together.

Beer, food, whiteboards and wifi provided by Citrix. Bring a laptop if you want to code or to try an all-in-one install to take away with you.

These will run on alternate weeks from the San Francisco meetups. All the cool kids go to both.

This week's talk: OpenStack APIs and WSGI

Michael Pittaro, La Honda Research

We will be looking at the OpenStack APIs from the outside in - from nova, to novaclient, to http, to the internal OpenStack API implementations behind them.

The goal is to provide more information about the OpenStack API implementation, to help with troubleshooting and jump start aspiring developers.

Prerequisites: just a basic understanding of Web, REST + HTTP, and Python.
