This is another set of questions for TC candidates, to look at a different side of things from my first one [1] and somewhat related to the one Doug has asked [2].
As Doug mentions, a continuing role of the TC is to evaluate applicants to be official projects. These questions are about that.
There are 63 teams in the official list of projects. How do you feel about this size? Too big, too small, just right? Why?
If you had to make a single declaration about growth in the number of projects would you prefer to see (and why, of course):
* More projects as required by demand. * Slower or no growth to focus on what we've got. * Trim the number of projects to "get back to our roots". * Something else.
How has the relatively recent emergence of the open infrastructure projects that are at the same "level" in the Foundation as OpenStack changed your thoughts on the above questions?
Do you think the number of projects has any impact (positive or negative) on our overall ability to get things done?
Recognizing that there are many types of contributors, not just developers, this question is about developers: Throughout history different members of the community have sometimes identified as an "OpenStack developer", sometimes as a project developer (e.g., "Nova developer"). Should we encourage contributors to think of themselves as primarily OpenStack developers? If so, how do we do that? If not, why not?
Thanks.
