OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

Each project has a list of dependencies it requires and the version of each required. As the number of projects and the number of distros which OpenStack is packaged for grows, we need to reconcile these dependency sets in order to help downstreams do their thing. This session will brainstorm around how to do the following: * Define a set of dependencies and their minimum versions * Show which dependencies are common to all projects and which are specific to certain projects * Ensure that all projects work with the minimum version required and all later versions * Allow projects to have features which require newer versions while still supporting older versions * Have an inclusive cross-project process for adding new dependencies and updating their minimum versions which takes into account which target distros include those dependency versions (Session lead is Mark McLoughlin)
