OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

Once upon a time, we had a little project that was almost incubated. It was going to provide OpenStack with a common, RESTful API for driving simple queues. Unfortunately, it was abandoned and withered on the vine. Recently, with the growing enthusiasm for OpenStack by current AWS users, I've found renewed interest in a simple OpenStack queue project. There has also been interest on the mailing lists for a common RPC mechanism. So I'm bringing burrow back from the dead. At the time of submission, it supports a significant subset Amazon Simple Query Service API and a single simple sqlite3 backend. Development is ongoing, so I expect a both a simple OpenStack REST API, and a direct API that can be used as a nova-rpc backend by the summit. Also, since I don't want to write a queue service, Burrow backs to real queue servers and a RabbitMQ backend should be done by then. (Session lead is ChristopherMacGown)
