The goal is to make it a reference for app developers that want to adopt OpenStack clouds. To get started we need help from the community with the following things:

The First App content was written in a book sprint in June 2015, led by Tom Fifield, blog post here: http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/07/writing-your-first-openstack-application/ <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/07/writing-your-first-openstack-application/>.

Yes! The page was launched mid-2015 and meant to promote the first app guide, as well as aggregate relevant content for app developers. Since that time we added links to content developed by the ISV working group, as well as the containers white paper and landing page. 

The page is in great need of a content overhaul, and I would for the working group to collaborate with members of the Foundation staff web/design/content team. We just need to figure out the right model for engagement for the initial content development, as well as ongoing updates. I’m going to chat with the Foundation team and come back with some ideas, but it’s worth getting started on goals and sketching out content ideas in the meantime.

I suggest that first we clearly define the audience(s) and goals for the page. We’re generally making an effort to better define audience/role, goals and their path through the website (and community) as we continue to add more content to openstack.org. 

As we’ve informally talked about the page amongst the Foundation staff, we think it’s important to be interactive, hands-on and to recognize that there’s additional complexity due to sub-audiences defined by different tools and technology stacks.  

Since the page was launched, a few new resources developed by the community include the Cloud App Labs (hands-on!), which were debuted at the Barcelona Summit, Superuser articles, hackathons and of course new presentations and videos from the Summit and other events.

Agree that developer.openstack.org is another very important resource. I believe the working group is already eyeing it, but as always, there is a general need for more resources :)

Thanks Patricia and Anne!
