For global teams there is no IRC meeting that lets everyone have a voice.

Yes, there was a Cinder vote that had -1s (for invalid reasons) it was
useful to have that in the open because it straightened out some culture
issues.

Also I failed to gather the requisite 5 +1s the first time I was
proposed for nova-core. While embarrassing, I got over it. I do get that
made a lot of people more heavily straw poll first to avoid those kinds
of situations.

No idea myself. But it's been here since I started participating in the

Requiring a [core] tag for these so people can get rid of them if they
