Can u describe here what u think 'deploying OpenStack on kubernetes' 
means to you, what is the boundary of OpenStack and what is the boundary 
of kubernetes in your mind? For example where does ironic fit in your 
view; where does nova fit in your view also. Is nova going to be 
deployed ontop of kubernetes and VM's will be spun up where? What about 
the baremetal (or VMs?) that kubernetes would need to run on (where is 
that coming from?).

To me the 'OpenStack on kubernetes' is not really something a simple 
statement can answer, so I'd like to know what u think that statement 
means :)

Btw, there is a sig-openstack in k8s, they also have a slack channel, 
and a google group 
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/kubernetes-sig-openstack (I'm not such 
a big fan of requiring people to find slack or google groups, but it is 
what it is...)

Overall +1 to 'communities collaborate more wherever possible'

I was trying to setup a keystone meeting with the sig-auth folks (I 
guess sig-auth is pretty much the equivalent of the keystone group in 
k8s); and someone is more than welcome to take that over (but again it 
depends on where in your mind a thing like keystone lives after put 
ontop/underneath/inside/all-around k8s+openstack).
