The first, is making sure that OpenStack is approachable to new contributors. This includes more documentation related community goals, which I consider especially important when a lot of people that have been here forever start to move on to new ventures, taking with them a lot of tribal and undocumented knowledge. We have to start being able to do more with less.
I think this maps very well with Kendall's efforts :) What do you particularily have in mind?
The second, is investigating avenues for better integration with other open source communities and projects. It's very likely that OpenStack is only one of the many tools in an operators toolbox (eg., we're also running OpenShift, and our own bare metal provisioner.) Once we have acknowledged those integration points, we can start documenting, testing and developing with those in mind as well. The end result will be that deployers can pick OpenStack, or a specific set of OpenStack components and know that what they are trying to do is possible, is tested and is reproducible.
Does that mean you want to introduce a sample configuration to deploy OpenShift on top of OpenStack and do conformance testing, in our jobs? Or did I get that wrong? Please note the CI topic maps with other candidates' efforts, so I already see future collaboration happening. I am glad to have asked my questions :) Regards, JP
