This is going to be an interesting session in that some of the original
proposals were intended to be implementation-level and some conceptual
and/or organizational level.

As I've understood some of the criteria used for evaluating how projects
belong under programs it included some of the overlap in project developer
community.  At the moment, there is no overlap that I know of between
OSC+the set of SDK projects and Horizon, or the existing UX folk.  I
believe that ideally there would be some, but it hasn't happened yet.

The Client Tools program proposal is done enough that I'll start an ML
discussion later today.  That'll be a good place to evaluate potential
future options.

I think working closely with the folks who are tackling efforts around

The things I long for in terms of what should overlap is a place to discuss
things like agreements on terminology or how certain resources might be
represented outside of the cloud; 'tenant' vs 'project' is a prime example.

The ambiguousness of the term 'user' is not helping.  It means different
things to an SDK and a CLI and a webUI: an operator, a consumer, an app
developer and devops/sysadmin, and more.
