Open Stack

So basically this is our first proposal what we send out: 
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-December/022196.html

After Horizon meetings, several e-mails and also couple of other 
discussions of people who are for/against codebase merge, it looks that 
in the end upstream leans towards 'umbrella' solution.

After all, +1 for umbrella solution from my side too. Tuskar UI will get 
closer to the nature of the project (based on Horizon, UI related 
audience). And in the same time, we will not rush things up before the 
project graduates. In Icehouse we can easier reach goals of both - 
Horizon as well as Tuskar UI - and after Icehouse release we can review 
back and get to the codebase merge in the end.

Do you all agree?

The Horizon Core folks would have +2 power, but the Tuskar core folks would also have +2 power. (I'm 90% certain that can be done in the Gerrit admin...)

It becomes easier to keep track of, and can be more easily guided in the right directions. With a little work incubated dashboard components like this could even be made to be a non-gating part of the testing infrastructure to indicate when things change or break.

If my proposal of two separate groups having the +2 power in Gerrit isn't technically feasible then a new group should be created for management of umbrella projects.
