Open Stack

Good overview.  Thank you!

One additional goal I want to mention on the list, for awareness, is the 
fact that we would like to eventually get some consistency to the pages 
that the 'Contributor Guide' lands on for each of the projects.  Needs 
to be a page that is friendly to new contributors, makes it easy to 
learn about the project and is not overwhelming.

What exactly that looks like isn't defined yet but I have talked to 
Manila about this.  They were interested in working together on this.  
Cinder and Manila will work together to get something consistent put 
together and then we can work on spreading that to other projects once 
we have agreement from the SIG that the approach is agreeable.
