Open Stack

Hi everyone,

During the last Opendev event we discussed reviving the OSops[1] idea: a 
lightweight area where operators can share the various small tools that 
they end up creating to help them operate OpenStack deployments. The 
effort has been mostly dormant for a few years.

We had a recent thread[2] about osarchiver, a new operators helper, and 
whether it would make sense to push it upstream. I think the best option 
would be to revive OSops and land it there.

Who is interested in helping to revive/maintain this ?

If we revive it, I think we should move its repositories away from the 
catch-all "x" directory under opendev, which was created for projects 
that were not claimed by anyone during the big migration.

If Osops should be considered distinct from OpenStack, then I'd 
recommend giving it its own opendev top directory, and move existing 
x/osops-* repositories to osops/*.

If we'd like to make OSops a product of the OpenStack community (and 
have contributions to it be fully recognized as contributions to 
"OpenStack"), then I'd recommend creating a specific SIG dedicated to 
this, and move the x/osops-* repositories to openstack/osops-*.
