Hi Akira,

Thanks for putting this list together.  A number of things on your list
have been mentioned at different weekly meetings etc so you definitely
targeted some good ideas.

I'm sure that we'll cover a number of these during various sessions at the
summit.  We'll sync up via session etherpads, but don't hesitate to add
some items to the weekly cinder meeting agenda [1], and be sure to drop in
and present some of these ideas.

There's always the blue-print process as well.

Thanks,
John
