Can't wait for openstack-common to be usable for Quantum as well. Here is our write-up of code in Quantum that seems generic (and is likely "borrowed" from other openstack project): http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumOpenstackCommon
Would love to get much of this into openstack-common. Dan On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 10:58 AM, Joshua Harlow <[email protected]>wrote: > Yippe common code that people can share!
