WFM.  Anything longer such as "openstack-deployment-tools" doesn't show up
very well in IRC clients.  Forgive the bikeshedding;
"openstack-deploy-tools" is very project-neutral and shows up well in IRC
clients.

WFM.  Since we aren't really a project team but a collection of projects
working together, I don't think we need further formalization.

+1 - I think an IRC channel would be the best way for real time
communication.

[deploy-tools] may be better unless that breaks people's email clients.

I am out of bandwidth personally for meetings, although others may be
interested in a meeting.  I'm not sure what value a regular meeting would
have and would need a chair, which may result in an inability to obtain
neutral ground.

IMO IRC and ML would be sufficient for this CP effort, however others may
have different viewpoints.

Sounds good to me.  Waiting 3 months to see everyone face to face to
discuss cross-project deployment tool collaboration doesn't seem ideal.
