Hi Jay,

Some thoughts about glance:

* There is lots of work/conversations around auth.  Rather than attempt to boil the ocean and "fix" authn/authz at once, we are thinking of taking a phased approach (1-2 week chunks of contained work to multiple openstack projects, followed by a week of review/planning for the next steps). My hope is that we have involvement from Nova, Swift and Glance PTLs (or delegates).

* What is the state of private images in glance?  Do we need to do more work in Diablo?

* Integration test coverage (end to end testing of openstack reference architectures) !  - I see someone else mentioned this, I just wanted to voice support :)
