Today in the TC meeting, we discussed the status of the three candidate goals [0]. Ultimately, we as the TC, are wondering who would be willing to drive the goal work.

Having a champion step up early on will help us get answers to questions about the feasibility of the goal, it's impact across OpenStack, among other things that will help us, as a community, make an informed decision.

Remember, championing a goal doesn't need to fall on a single individual. With proper communication, work can be spread out to lighten the load.

What I'd like is to open this up to the community and see who would be willing to drive the proposed goals. If you have any questions about championing a goal, please don't hesitate to swing by #openstack-tc, or you can ping me privately.

That was my recollection as well.

I do think there is still a lot of foundation work that needs to be done before
we can make it a cycle goal to move more completely to osc. Before we get
there, I think we need to see more folks involved on the project to be ready
for the increased attention.

Right now, I would classify this goal as a "huge lift".
