Defining OpenStack "Core"

Quite a lot of debates online and not around the DefCore http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/01/06/openstack-defcore/ initiative, triggered by a message http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001620.html by Thierry Carrez with comments from Mark McLoughlin http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001623.html, Nick Barcet http://techs.enovance.com/6670/why-we-need-3-cores-in-openstack, Troy Toman http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001627.html, Dan Wendlandt http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001628.html, Mark Collier http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001630.html, Tim Bell http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001632.html, Eric Windisch http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001631.html, Boris Renski http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001633.html, Pete Chadwik https://www.suse.com/communities/conversations/open-source-distribution-customers-care/, Randy Bias http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-February/001635.html, and others.

StoryBoard sprint in Brussels http://fnords.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/storyboard-sprint-in-brussels/

StoryBoard is a project Thierry Carrez http://fnords.wordpress.com/ started a few months ago. Quite a few people in OpenStack have been running into a number of issues with Launchpad (inability to have blueprints spanning multiple code bases, inability to have flexible project group views, inability to use non-Launchpad OpenID for login...), and were investigating replacements. Tired of explaining why existing alternatives wouldn't work for OpenStack task management, Thierry ended up writing a proof-of-concept to show a practical example. That proof-of-concept was sufficiently compelling that the Infrastructure team decided we should write our own tool.
