Open Stack

Greetings,

Just a heads up for everyone. The work on this front has moved forward and the
badges are now being generated as part of the governance CI[0].

You can find the list of badges here[1] and the pattern is quite obvious, the
name of the image is based on the project repo name.

I've edited the README files for all repositories listed in the projects.yaml
file and I've started to submit these patches[2]. I'm not a fan of "viral
changes" but I've done my best to explain what's changing, provide references
and examples on the commit message. These changes are being submitted using the
tag 'project-badges'[2].

Note that these badges are *JUST* a graphical representation of what's in the
governance repo. If you don't want to have them in the README file, I guess it's
fine. I'd, however, encourage everyone to add them to provide consistency and a
more immediate information of what the project is about, what some of the
project capabilities are and what its status is.

Ideally this should also be added in projects documentation as well but I'll
leave that to every team to do.

Happy to answer questions,
Flavio

P.S: The current layout is being improved[3], if you have better ideas please
help out.
