[Please trim quoted material and avoid top-posting.] Would better visibility for https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/drivers/ (perhaps with a more navigable UI and updated for the latest release) address those concerns? I absolutely want service teams to have a mechanism by which they can list known working/supported drivers in an official-looking place so vendors can point their customers at that. I also feel very strongly that those alone would be terrible reasons to consider becoming an official project team under the governance of the OpenStack Technical Committee. Our project governance is not intended as a means of marketing and advertising products, and I'm going to do my best to make sure that it's extremely ineffective at that for any companies who try to (ab)use it to those ends. -- Jeremy Stanley
