Open Stack

Hi all,

As you may have noticed, we had no nominees for Oslo PTL again this 
cycle. I said in my non-candidacy email that I don't think it would be 
appropriate for me to continue in the position given the lack of 
attention I've been paying over the past couple of cycles. My feelings 
on that have not changed, so we need to figure out what we're going to 
do from here on.

The general consensus from the people I've talked to seems to be a 
distributed model. To kick off that discussion, here's a list of roles 
that I think should be filled in some form:

* Release liaison
* Security point-of-contact
* TC liaison
* Cross-project point-of-contact
* PTG/Forum coordinator
* Meeting chair
* Community goal liaison (almost forgot this one since I haven't 
actually been doing it ;-).

I've probably missed a few, but those are the the ones I came up with to 
start. Obviously there's overlap between some of them, and we don't have 
that many people on the team so there's going to be some combined roles. 
It's also possible some roles could be handled cooperatively by the team 
(we already have a coresec team, for example), but in general I favor 
explicit assignments over vague "somebody will do it" statements. That 
said, given my reduced role on the team I don't know how much say I get 
in the matter. :-)

Anyway, I wanted to get this sent out because I'm going to be out on PTO 
next week so I won't be available for the meeting. Feel free to discuss 
it in my absence though.

Thanks.
