Open Stack

Sounds like an interesting project/goal and will be interesting to see where this goes.

A few questions/comments:

How much golang will people be exposed to with this addition?

Seeing that this could be the first 'go' using project it will be interesting to see where this goes (since afaik none of the infra support exists, and people aren't likely to familiar with go vs python in the openstack community overall).

What's your thoughts on how this will affect the existing openstack container effort?

I see that kubernetes isn't exactly a small project either (~90k LOC, for those who use these types of metrics), so I wonder how that will affect people getting involved here, aka, who has the resources/operators/other... available to actually setup/deploy/run kubernetes, when operators are likely still just struggling to run openstack itself (at least operators are getting used to the openstack warts, a new set of kubernetes warts could not be so helpful).
