Zane, Thanks for raising the discussion. We recently discuss a lot about what's OpenStack, what OpenStack Foundation should be. I would like to list some discussion I involved before [1]. OpenSack affects following people and organizations. we should consider when we make decisions.
*Q1: Who benefits from OpenStack? Who are the customers, users, etc?* 1st tier (direct users) : Developers, Sys Admins, DevOps, Application owners that want IaaS/PaaS resources 2nd tier (providers) catering to 1st directly : 2a (internal) : Enterprises and IT departments 2b (external) : IaaS/PaaS Providers, SaaS Providers, Enterprises, Operators and CSPs 3rd tier catering to 2nd tier : 3a : Distribution Vendors and OpenStack Integrators 3b : Hardware vendors [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ocata-12questions-exercise-board 2017-10-13 0:51 GMT+08:00 Zane Bitter <zbit...@redhat.com>: > (Reminder: we are in the TC election campaigning period, and we all have > the opportunity to question the candidates.
