I should have made it clearer in my original post that this discussion actually originated at the Board+TC+UC workshop in Boston, as part of the "better communicating what is openstack" subgroup. We discussed producing better maps of OpenStack, but the most marketing-minded people in the group also insisted that we need to move on from "big tent" branding and explain our structure with new, less confusing terminology. This thread is just the TC part of the discussion (as it happens, the TC owns the upstream project structure, so changes to this will have to go through us). We said that the TC should discuss its affairs in open threads, so here it is. That doesn't really make it a technical issue, or an issue that we'd solely decide amongst the inmates in the asylum. The discussion will ultimately feed back to that Board+TC+UC workgroup to come up with a clearer plan. We just need to get general feedback on the general issue, which is what this thread is about. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
