Open Stack

HI Kenny - Where did you find the definition of WG vs Team? I thought it was the other way around (teams = short term; WG = long term).

I think there are pros & cons to changing names. One of the notables being name recognition.

That said, I think this is a good discussion for us to have. If we are going to change from Product, then some of the things that come to mind are: Market Requirements  or Planning.

Thoughts?
Carol

Subject: [Product] Proposal - Rename our Group to the User Story Team

   - There has been some recent discussion around what it means to be a
   Working Group vs Team, with one of the guiding principles highlighted being
   that Working Groups should be short-lived in nature, whereas Teams can
   exist in perpetuity
   - Given our role as the reviewers of the
   openstack/openstack-user-stories repository[1], I believe we should exist
   in perpetuity
   - The term "Product" has implied a number of things that I think we no
   longer intend:
      - That our membership is made exclusively Product managers
      - That it is our role to treat OpenStack like a "product"
      - That we serve only those organizations who build products around
      OpenStack

For these reasons I'd like to propose that we change our name to the User Story team. I thought I would start the discussion here and ask that we add it as an agenda item for next week's meeting[2].

Thoughts? High-fives? Boos?

Thanks!
