Open Stack

Manuel, and others:
I am sorry, in the rush at the end of the scheduler meeting a critical 
fact flew from my mind: the material I distributed beforehand was intended 
as something I could reference during discussion in the meeting, I did not 
expect it to fully stand on its own.  Indeed, you have noticed that it 
does not.  It will take a little more time to write something that stands 
on its own.  I will try to get something out soon, including answers to 
your questions.

I should also make clear the overall sense of what I am doing.  I am in an 
in-between state.  My group has some running code on which I can report, 
but we are not satisfied with it for a few reasons.  One is that it is not 
integrated yet in any way with Heat, and I think the discussion we are 
having here overlaps with Heat.  Another is that it does not support very 
general changes, we have so far been solving initial deployment issues. We 
have been thinking about how to do better on these issues, and have an 
outline and are proceeding with the work; I can report on these too.  The 
things that concern me the most are issues of how to get architectural 
alignment with what the OpenStack community is doing.  So my main aim 
right now is to have a discussion of how the pieces fit together.  I am 
told that the OpenStack community likes to focus on small incremental 
changes, and that is a way to get things done, but I, at least, would like 
to get some sense of where this is going.

Thanks,
Mike
