Open Stack

Hi Trevor,

thanks for sharing this minutes!
I would like to cooperate a bit to this project's developments, possibly
without ending up being just deadweight.

To this aim I have some comments inline.

 Have you listed your concerns somewhere? AFAICT the incubator definition
is in progress and feedback is very valuable at this stage.

I am a bit disappointed if you feel like  you have been victims of
political discussions.
The truth in my opinion is much simpler, and is that most of the neutron
core team has prioritised features for achieving parity with nova-network
or increasing neutron scalability and reliability.
In my opinion the incubator proposal will improve this situation by making
the lbaas team a lot less dependent on the neutron core team.
Considering the level of attention the load balancing team has received I
would not be surprised if neutron cores are topping your most-hated list!

It depends on what do you mean by "proper" here. If you're into a neutron
incubator, your ultimate path ideally should be integration with neutron.
Instead if you're planning on total independence, then it might the case of
considering the typical paths new projects follow. I'm not an expert here,
but I think that usually starts from stackforge.

Which probably sounds a reasonable thing to do (and a lot less effort for
you as well)

I'll try and find some time to review it.

This is one of the reasons for which I don't attend load balancing meetings.
I find IRC much simpler and effective - and is also fairer to people for
whom English is not their first language.
Also, perusing IRC logs is much easier than watch/listen to webex
recordings.
Moreover, you'd get minutes for free - and you can control the density you
want them to have during the meeting!
