+ This template should be in ReSTructured text. The filename in the git

+ For help with syntax, see http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html
+ To test out your formatting, see http://www.tele3.cz/jbar/rest/rest.html
+
+=============================
+ The title of your blueprint
+=============================
+
+Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:
+
+https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/example
+
+Introduction paragraph -- why are we doing anything?
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+A detailed description of the problem.
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+Here is where you cover the change you propose to make in detail. How do you
+propose to solve this problem?
+
+If this is one part of a larger effort make it clear where this piece ends. In
+other words, what's the scope of this effort?
+
+Include where in the heat tree hierarchy this will reside.
+
+Alternatives
+------------
+
+This is an optional section, where it does apply we'd just like a demonstration
+that some thought has been put into why the proposed approach is the best one.
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+Assignee(s)
+-----------
+
+Who is leading the writing of the code? Or is this a blueprint where you're
+throwing it out there to see who picks it up?
+
+If more than one person is working on the implementation, please designate the
+primary author and contact.
+
+Primary assignee:
+  <launchpad-id or None>
+
+Can optionally can list additional ids if they intend on doing
+substantial implementation work on this blueprint.
+
+Milestones
+----------
+
+Target Milestone for completion:
+  Juno-1
+
+Work Items
+----------
+
+Work items or tasks -- break the feature up into the things that need to be
+done to implement it. Those parts might end up being done by different people,
+but we're mostly trying to understand the timeline for implementation.
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+- Include specific references to specs and/or blueprints in heat, or in other
+  projects, that this one either depends on or is related to.
+
+- Does this feature require any new library dependencies or code otherwise not
+  included in OpenStack? Or does it depend on a specific version of library?
