<h3><a

sprint in Brussels</a></h3>
<p>StoryBoard is a project <a href="http://fnords.wordpress.com/">Thierry
Carrez</a> 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.</p>
