[Openstack-operators] Operations project: Packaging

I've started a wiki page here, please feel free to flesh it out with more
detail:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Packaging/GenericTooling

Looking at the OpenStack meetings page, the schedule is very packed with
Mondays being a little less loaded. How about 1500 UTC on Mondays? This
clashes with Satori and Zaqar, which I hope has minimal overlap with our
group. The #openstack-operators room would be an appropriate venue, but I
think we should move to one of the openstack meeting channels if the first
meeting proves useful and there is a desire for more. If we make our first
meeting on the 7th of December, that gives us plenty of time to list
discussion topics.

Since I'm on the wrong side of the world, would anyone like to volunteer to
lead the discussion? I have created an agenda etherpad here, again feel
free to add things :
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/openstack-operators-meeting-071214-agenda

I'd like to examine each of the tools to see which requirements they don't
satisfy, and what the shortest path to getting one that ticks every
(reasonable) box might be.
