Open Stack

Hi Mike,

According to the description of the role, I wouldn't say that the role is
less architectural than
political, since PTL should review designs and resolve conflicts between
cores (which are
usually technical), PTL should also have strong skills in software
architecture, and understanding
of what Fuel should look like.

Thanks,
