Open Stack

Rob, candidly, I think you are way overstating things and being
disrespectful of the Board in referring to the careful discussion and
debate around DefCore as "thrash".

The Board is very diverse, as it should be, and in the thick of considering
an extremely important issue that will have ramifications for the health
and growth of the OpenStack community in years to come. It's very important
that members of the Board feel fully able to take time to consider and
respond to evolving community inputs on DefCore, without being criticized
for not dancing to any other stakeholders tune.

I think you are getting too personally attached to the DefCore process.
You've been instrumental in leading it so far, but you should carefully
think about whether you can shift to the more patient, objective and
non-judgmental approach that will be needed to see it through to its
conclusion.


Best,
Simon
