# Keystone Team Update - Catch-up report 8 October - 28 October 2018 It's been a few weeks since I've been able to get one of these out, so here's a summary of what's been happening in that time.
## News ### Community Goals Status Mutable config: Kristi has a patch under review[1]. Python3-first: Keystone has python3 functional tests completed, working our way through the remainder of our repositories. Upgrade status checks: Scaffolding is in place[2] but we need to decide what checks should be included.

Thanks Morgan for pushing all this through! There is still some work to be done to migrate keystonemiddleware away from the Webob implementation. With the migration to Flask, some users have noticed that the healthcheck middleware no longer works the same way[4]. Custom middleware is also no longer possible, but there are workarounds[5].

We're analyzing the difference and collaborating on a path to move in this direction in keystone[7].

Applicants now need to log a contribution so they can be eligible to apply for the project, so you may see a lot of new faces before the November 6 deadline. If you have ideas for beginner-friendly tasks, let me know so I can hand them out to our newcomers. ## Open Specs Search query: https://bit.ly/2Pi6dGj In addition to the three Stein specs that have been open for a while, we opened and closed another to allow for explicit domain IDs upon domain creation[8]. There are also a number of "ongoing" specs proposed that need attention[9] [8] https://bit.ly/2OyDLTh [9] https://review.openstack.org/611201 ## Help with this newsletter Help contribute to this newsletter by editing the etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/keystone-team-newsletter Dashboard generated using gerrit-dash-creator and https://gist.github.com/lbragstad/9b0477289177743d1ebfc276d1697b67 __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
