Open Stack

The TC has given guidance on this already:

http://governance.openstack.org/resolutions/20160119-stackforge-retirement.html

"In order to simplify software development lifecycle transitions of 
Unofficial and Official OpenStack projects, all projects developed 
within the OpenStack project infrastructure will be permitted to use the 
“openstack/” namespace. The use of the term “Stackforge” to describe 
unofficial projects should be considered deprecated."

The Fuel CCP repos are projects that are not official OpenStack projects.

They are in the openstack/ git namespace because they use the common 
infrastructure and there isn't any formal plan to have the repos join 
the "official OpenStack projects" (i.e. the ones listed in the 
projects.yaml file in the openstack/governance repository).

Could they be proposed in the future as official OpenStack projects? 
Maybe. Not sure, and I don't believe it's necessary to decide ahead of time.

Please stop using a marketing press release as some indication of what 
the "intent" is for these repos or even that there *is* any intent at 
this point. It's really early on and these repos are intended as a place 
to experiment and innovate. I don't see why there is so much anger about 
that.

Best,
