I felt like OpenStack didn't have enough projects, so here's another one.

During the summit I feel like I'm repeatedly having the same conversations
with different groups about bespoke approaches to operational tasks, and
wrapping these in a project might be a way to promote collaboration on them.

Off the top of my head there's half a dozen things that might belong here:

 - Packaging tooling (spec files/fpm script/whatever)
 - (Ansible/other) playbooks for common tasks
 - Log aggregation (Logstash/Splunk) filters and tagging
 - Monitoring (Nagios) checks
 - Ops dashboards

There's also things that <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>might<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> belong here but maybe not:

 - Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Salt OpenStack config management modules

companies, or in each company's github repo.

plans for <span __postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date" class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date" displaystyle="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">tomorrow,</span> how about we <span __postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date" class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date" displaystyle="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">meet on Friday</span> morning at the large white

Thanks!

the outcome of this discussion shared back to the list. Though I don't 
know that this would be appropriate for a full-blown OpenStack project 
(in the traditional sense) you are definitely correct that people need 
more prescriptive guidance around these areas.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Richard
