<p class="MsoNormal">Hey, folks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Product Working Group is in the process of trying to get a repository instantiated for User Stories (hopefully at openstack/openstack-user-stories) and in the process of walking through the process, found it would be much simpler to
actually form a project that owns the repository. Once that was realized, it was suggested (thanks Thierry!) that the likely best location for us would be under the auspices of the User Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the committee’s ok, I’d like to modify the current patch commit message,
<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/197754/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/197754/</a> to read:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The Product Working group would like to be formally recognized as a project within the User Committee governance body.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And would change the file to be modified to be the openstack/governance/reference/user-committee-repos.yaml with the group’s information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do you guys think? The patch is under discussion at tomorrow’s meeting, but if I get a generally positive response from the list, I will be able to at least propose that the current patch be abandoned for one that puts the Product
WG under the auspices of the User Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rocky Grober (on behalf of the Product Working Group)<o:p></o:p></p>
