Open Stack

Hi everyone,

As you may know, a sub group of the OSF Board of Directors has recently 
kicked off an effort to draft guidelines on how to confirm OSF pilot 
projects as full, top-level, open infrastructure projects of the 
Foundation. The current pilot projects that will be eligible for 
confirmation review in 2019-2020 are Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX 
and Zuul. Currently the OpenStack project is the only confirmed project.

The discussion about drafting these guidelines is just getting started, 
but everyone can participate in this effort by reviewing the context and 
working draft on this etherpad and adding feedback and thoughts at the 
bottom:

There will most likely be some open call scheduled in early 2019 where 
additional feedback will also be gathered. The goal is to come up with a 
set of points that the Board can use when reviewing pilot projects for 
confirmation. This topic has previously been discussed at a very 
high-level at previous Board meetings, including the September 18th 
meeting[1] (starting around slide 38).
