Open Stack

Hey all,

Back in a joint meeting with the TC, UC, Foundation and The Board it
was decided as an area of OpenStack to focus was Simplifying
OpenStack. This intentionally was very broad so the community can kick
start the conversation and help tackle some broad feedback we get.

Unfortunately yesterday there was a low turn out in the Simplification
room. A group of people from the Swift team, Kevin Fox and Swimingly
were nice enough to start the conversation and give some feedback. You
can see our initial ether pad work here:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/simplifying-os

There are efforts happening everyday helping with this goal, and our
team has made some documented improvements that can be found in our
report to the board within the ether pad. I would like to take a step
back with this opportunity to have in person discussions for us to
identify what are the area of simplifying that are worthwhile. I’m
taking a break from the room at the moment for lunch, but I encourage
people at 13:30 local time to meet at the simplification room level b
in the big thompson room. Thank you!
