Open Stack

Hello,

I've not heard any additional feedback so far, so I'd like to decide the
next steps about
the three modules.

1. puppet-murano
We'll continue maintaining this module based on the response by Andy.
I've managed to restore acceptance tests for puppet-murano[1] which would
allow us to catch
quite essential deployment problems.
We might need to address the remaining two problems but we don't have
capacity to address
these two immediately so I'll leave these two as future TODO. It'd be nice
if anyone interested
can help us with these items.
 - acceptance tests in Ubuntu are still broken
 - no functional tests are enabled (murano is still disabled in integration
tests)

2. puppet-rally
I've proposed a few critical bug fixes [2] during this cycle and I think we
should create a release
containing these fixes. So I'll retire this module after the Antelope
release.

3. puppet-tacker
We haven't heard any actual objection to retiring this module and we don't
see any critical
fixes/features merged during this cycle so I'll retire this module
immediately.
@Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o at gmail.com> Do you have any update about the
confirmation ?

In case anyone has additional concerns, then please let me know.

Thank you,
Takashi Kajinami
