The DefCore subcommittee from the OpenStack board of directors asked the<br>
Technical Committee yesterday about which code sections in each<br>
integrated project should be "designated sections" in the sense of [1]<br>
(code you're actually needed to run or include to be allowed to use the<br>
trademark). That determines where you can run alternate code (think:<br>
substitute your own private hypervisor driver) and still be able to call<br>
the result openstack.<br>

PTLs and their teams are obviously the best placed to define this, so it<br>
seems like the process should be: PTLs propose designated sections to<br>
the TC, which blesses them, combines them and forwards the result to the<br>
DefCore committee. We could certainly leverage part of the governance<br>
repo to make sure the lists are kept up to date.<br>

Comments, thoughts ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't have any issue defining what I think of as typical extension / variation seams in the Glance code base. However, I'm still struggling to understand what all this means for our projects and our ecosystem. Basically, why do I care? What are the implications of a 0% vs 100% designation? Are we hoping to improve interoperability, or encourage more upstream collaboration, or what?</div>
