Open Stack

Hi,

If we just want to replace "bigtent" concept to another concept which mentioned in this thread,
many of them gave me the impression that there are still some projects more
important than others, so that's why I suggest to use flat project list, and put stress
"OPEN" stack here.

Best Regards
Chaoyi Huang (joehuang)

I think you misunderstood my message. I'm not talking about removing projects,
I'm talking about the staging of these projects to join the "Big tent" -
regardless of how we call it. The distinction *is* important and we ought to
find a way to preserve it and communicate it so that there's the least amount of
confusion possible.

You keep mentioning "OPEN stack" as if we weren't being open (enough?) and I
think I'm failing to see why you think that. Could you please elaborate more?
What you're describing seems to be the current status.
