Open Stack

Zane,

Thanks for raising the discussion. We recently discuss a lot about what's
OpenStack, what OpenStack Foundation should be.  I would like to list some
discussion I involved before [1].   OpenSack affects following people and
organizations. we should consider when we make decisions.

*Q1: Who benefits from OpenStack? Who are the customers, users, etc?*

1st tier (direct users) : Developers, Sys Admins, DevOps, Application
owners that want IaaS/PaaS resources

2nd tier (providers) catering to 1st directly :
   2a (internal) : Enterprises and IT departments
   2b (external) : IaaS/PaaS Providers, SaaS Providers, Enterprises,
Operators and CSPs

3rd tier catering to 2nd tier :
  3a : Distribution Vendors and OpenStack Integrators
  3b : Hardware vendors
