Hi,

I'm working with Vinod. We'd like to join as well. Same issue on our

This means that a variety of private cloud use cases are simply not supported. Specifically, objects in the system can only be managed on the tenant level or globally.

I know this time is probably a bit tough for Europe, so if we decide we need a regular meeting to discuss progress then we can vote on a better time for this meeting.

We will *NOT* spend a lot of time debating approaches, and instead focus on making something that works and learning as we go. The output of this team will be a MultiTenant devstack install that actually works, so that we can ensure the features we are adding to each project work together.
