I had some offline feedback about making a vote from people who actually contributed to our modules, which makes more sense. I decided to close the public poll (you can see results [1]). So if you made at least one contribution to the Puppet OpenStack modules over the last 6 months, you should probably have an email that allows you to vote for the new project name. Of course, I'll publish the result by Tuesday during our meeting.
