      Defining OpenStack "Core"

Quite a lot of debates online and not around the DefCore
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/01/06/openstack-defcore/> initiative,
triggered by a message

      StoryBoard sprint in Brussels
      <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/storyboard-sprint-in-brussels/>

StoryBoard is a project Thierry Carrez <http://fnords.wordpress.com/>
started a few months ago. Quite a few people in OpenStack have been
running into a number of issues with Launchpad (inability to have
blueprints spanning multiple code bases, inability to have flexible
project group views, inability to use non-Launchpad OpenID for
login...), and were investigating replacements. Tired of explaining why
existing alternatives wouldn't work for OpenStack task management,
Thierry ended up writing a proof-of-concept to show a practical example.
That proof-of-concept was sufficiently compelling that the
Infrastructure team decided we should write our own tool.
