Open Stack

Ok, as promissed I've pushed a patch with a reference document that collects
what I had written in my post and the feedback from this thread.

I believe the patch needs tons of discussion so, y'all, get to it :)

I've added members from different teams to help filling in some of the sections
specific for their teams.

Thanks,
Flavio
