[OpenStack Marketing] Metering is no more, welcome Telemetry
by Stefano Maffulli 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hello folks just a heads up to remind you that the project codenamed Ceilometer has been renamed to "Telemetry" (it was Metering). The TC approved the change last week: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/commit/?id=9564eecb9769c… I've updated the page http://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-shared-services/ but there are more fixes to be made. A quick google search reveals a long list but only few hits seem relevant: https://www.google.com/#q=metering+site:www.openstack.org Not sure how to prioritize. Which pages do you think should be updated? /stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
