Excerpts from Renat Akhmerov's message of 2013-10-14 12:40:28 -0700:
> Hi OpenStackers,
> 
> I am proud to announce the official launch of the Mistral project. At Mirantis we have a team to start contributing to the project right away. We invite anybody interested in task service & state management to join the initiative.
> 
> Mistral is a new OpenStack service designed for task flow control, scheduling, and execution. The project will implement Convection proposal (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Convection) and provide an API and domain-specific language that enables users to manage tasks and their dependencies, and to define workflows, triggers, and events. The service will provide the ability to schedule tasks, as well as to define and manage external sources of events to act as task execution triggers. 

Why exactly aren't you just calling this Convection and/or collaborating
with the developers who came up with it?
