Hey folks,</div>

I’d like to invite the broader OpenStack community to participate in developing milestone #3 of Kolla – a Project to Containerize the deployment of OpenStack. This is a major refactoring of Kolla to make it viable for use by projects such as TripleO or Fuel.</div>

We have an aggressive set of features the core team has identified it wants to develop. Our deadline for development is March 19th. Theoretically we could slip into early April, but the idea is to synchronize our schedule with the broader OpenStack project’s
release schedule. We have approximately 4-6 weeks to finish our development described out in the below blueprint.</div>

I have decomposed the specification in to specific work items. Most of the blueprints will take between 4 and 20 hours of work individually. If your keen to learn about containers or the future of deployment architectures in OpenStack, please come and join
in our development. We do our development in the #tripleo channel on IRC using the standard OpenStack review and development process.</div>
