However nova-docker is being retired [4]. +So it is important that we find a replacement that can work in our devstack setup. +We have been looking at Zun in this regard [5]. In this cycle I hope +we can finish this work, thus removing our dependence on nova-docker. + +One of our contributors has been working on adding support +to build applications into VM images using Packer [6]. +You can find the details about this use-case and approach +in his thesis [7]. I hope that we are able to complete this work in this cycle. + +Lastly, we should continue working on the Python 3.5 support [8], +which has been approved as the community-wide goal for this cycle. + +Regards, +Devdatta Kulkarni + +[1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/402225/ +[2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/355408/ +[3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-September/104699.html +[4] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-December/109387.html +[5] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/416224/ +[6] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/336570/ +[7] https://gitlab.com/ablu/bachelorthesis/builds/9259804/artifacts/file/build/Bachelor%20Thesis%20Erik%20Schilling.pdf +[8] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/solum-python35-goal
