Open Stack

Hi OpenStackers,

Compass is not new to OpenStack community. We started it as an OpenStack
deployment tool at the HongKong summit. We then showcased it at the Paris
summit.

However, the project has gone through some changes recently. We'd like to
re-introduce Compass and welcome new developers to expand our efforts,
share in its design, and advance its usefulness to the OpenStack community.

We intend to follow the 4 openness guidelines and enter the "Big Tent". We
have had some feedback from TC reviewers and others and realize we have
some work to do to get there. More developers interested in working on the
project will get us there easier.

Besides the openness Os, there is critical developer work we need to get to
one of the OpenStack Os.  For example, we have forked Chef cookbooks, and
Ansible written from scratch for OpenStack deployment. We need to merge the
Compass Ansible playbooks back to openstack upstream repo
(os-ansible-deployment).

We also need to reach out to other related projects, such as Ironic, to
make sure that where our efforts overlap, we provided added value, not
different ways of doing the same thing.

Lot of work we think will add to the OpenStack community.
