Hi!

I'm a little disappointed that we've decided to base the initial
workflow on something that is not related to the world-class git-based
developer tooling that the OpenStack project has already produced. We
have a GIANT amount of tooling in this space, and it's all quite
scalable. There is also the intent by 3 or 4 different groups to make it
more re-usable/re-consumable, including thoughts in making sure that we
can drive it from and have it consume heat.

We have IRC meeting channels for meetings. They are logged - and they
have the benefit that they do not require non-Open Source software to
access. If you have them in IRC, the team from OpenStack who is already
working on developer workflow around git can potentially participate.

I don't mean to be negative, but if you want to be a PaaS for OpenStack,
I would strongly consider not using G+ when we have IRC, and I would
strongly suggest engaging with the Infra projects that already know how
to do git-based workflow and action triggering.
