Open Stack

The team behind the unified command line tool is preparing to ask the TC to allow us to become an official team. The openstack/python-openstackclient repository will be managed by this "new" team, and I suggested we also consider transferring ownership of openstack/cliff from Oslo at the same time.

Cliff was created specifically to meet the needs to python-openstackclient, and it is still primarily maintained by folks who will be members of the new team. Some projects outside of OpenStack have adopted it, so I think it makes sense to keep it as a separate repository and continue to release it that way (Oslo doesn’t have to be the only project team to do that, after all).

Dean will be submitting a governance change to create the new program, but before we do that I wanted to get general feedback from the team about the ownership change. We’ll repeat what we did with PyCADF and hacking when we transferred those, and offer anyone in oslo-core the chance to continue reviewing cliff code if they want to be on the cliff-core team.

Please let me know if you have objections or comments.

Thanks,
Doug
