<div>For what it's worth, as a person who's 99% on the operator side, I used the proposed template as my first foray into:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Getting things set up with Geritt</li><li>Submitting a change for review</li><li>Getting myself set up to be aware of the nova-specs project for future Blueprint reviews</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All in all, aside from me getting my head wrapped around the commit message guidelines, it went pretty smooth. I've also gained a lot of insight off the blueprints already submitted (though to Russell's credit, they are trying to push back a little for
a few days until the template is good and baked)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think the overall model has a lot of promise. I'm just waiting on word form Russell and company to say a lot more on the operator's list. From my experience, however, it's a great way to lower the barrier to entry for "operators" and the like in the
the "code" side of OpenStack – one of the key outputs from the mini summit! </div>

</div>
<div>Thanks again, for pushing this along! Let me know when you are ready for a bigger deal to be made outside the dev lists.</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
