Hi Rob,

So far, no dissenting opinions. Can we get started with merge proposal to -infra to setup repositories etc..?

On a side note, we are okay with releasing the code under Apache V2 license. But I could not find any coding practices guide for PowerShell on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CodingStandards. Is there a separate link that I should look at..?

Hi, this sounds cool.

I think it would be fine to have this as a TripleO repository; subject to the usual constraints:
 - Apache V2 license
 - follows OpenStack coding practices etc

Lets let this sit for a little bit to see if there are dissenting opinions or whatnot, and then the thing to do will be to submit merge proposals to -infra to setup repositories etc.
