Sean took a concept meant for organizing the relationships in DevStack and Grenade and made it relatable to OpenStack as a whole. This brings it out where we can actually use it as a model.</div><div><br></div><div>I do think there is value in distinctions between the original layers 1,2 and 3 (you combined 1 and 2). But for non-technical purposes 1 and 2 are indeed the same.</div><div><br></div><div>Suggestion 6: Isn't it funny how everything old is new again? The DevStack exercises started out as exactly this, then grew more functional over time until Tempest came along. How hipster is that?</div><div><div><br class="">Suggestion 9: Wouldn't it be wonderful if a small set of cloud definition files could be used for the myriad of user tools out there? Standards, we don't have enough of them!</div></div><div><br></div><div>In the long term I would like to see more of our base (toolsets and services) be pluggable so that the less-blessed projects can participate without requiring additions to the base repos. This should also be true for user-facing tools. OpenStackClient already picks up installed plugins with the proper entry points configured so everything doesn't need to be in the primary repo to play along.</div><div><br></div><div>dt</div><div><br></div></div>-- <br><br>Dean Troyer<br><a href="mailto:dtroyer@gmail.com">dtroyer@gmail.com</a><br>
