So I agree with you that we need policy established here. What I'm
getting at - which core teams will vote on inclusion of new
deliverable? All of them? Just Kolla? This is grey area I'm referring
to. What's kolla-k8s core team's business if somebody would like to
add saltstack support? What I wouldn't want to have is to establish
new semi-tc in form of our core team that will decide what is and
isn't good orchiestration engine for Kolla. That would seriously
hinder our ability to innovate, experiment. What if we find out this
new orchiestration engine and just want to play with it? But keep it
community from start?

So let me throw an idea there, one which we should vote on:

Prep:
1. We create kolla-policy-core-team which is sum of all core teams of
kolla supported projects
2. We create list of kolla supported projects - today it's kolla,
kolla-ansible and kolla-k8s

Add new project:
1. Everyone is free to create kolla-* deliverable as long as they
follow certain documented standards (action: document these)
2. We create lightweight process to include new deliverable to Kolla,
like just 2* +2 from kolla-policy-core-team to include project like
that
3. If project gets traction, interest and is successful, we vote on
including it's core team to kolla-policy-core-team

This way it would be easy to try and fail fast to run kolla with
whatever. We need this kind of flexibility for people to innovate.

Thoughts?

It doesn’t seem like a gray area to me – we have always followed a voting pattern for adding and removal of deliverables.  This repo could be added to the git openstack namespace but then not have it as a kolla deliverable without a vote I think; this is sort of what Fuel did with Fuel-ccp – that proposal is a gray area.  I found when Fuel did  that to be extremely odd personally ☺  I’m not sure if there is a trademark policy or something similar that affects the use of Kolla and OpenStack together.  I’ve included the [tc] in the topic so they can provide guidance on the route you suggested (incubation for new kolla deliverables that are not actually deliverables).
