Open Stack

+1

We want wide inclusion and also need to organize so we don't waste a lot of people's time.

I think it's important to be transparent that we're getting organized.

I understand the urgency and desire for involvement.   We took a lot of small steps to get here and I expect that we'll follow the same approach.

Ironically, the goal of this meeting is to address a lot of what you're asking for - wiki page, mailing list, schedule and doodles for meetings, logistics around using IRC, etc. As Rob pointed out, this isn't the kickoff - it's just he and I attacking the logistics.

I love the idea of having some TC folks involved, too.

Hi Rob,

This just came up in the TC meeting and I volunteered to pass on some
feedback that I think we were all agreed on:

 * This discussion is inevitably going to get pretty technical as we
   start grappling with what will be required and what won't be. The
   TC feels it should have some involvement in that and would like to
   nominate some of its members to join.

 * It would be great to open these discussions as widely as possible.
   An all day, in-person meeting in SF, with 8 days warning is
   particularly difficult for interested people to join in with. The
   TC favours IRC for meetings, but conference calls could work too.

Also, it would be great to have a wiki page describing the goal of the
committee, who's involved, what the mailing list is, tracking the
outcomes of meetings, etc.

Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks Josh.

I thought to add the specific that we know so far.

If any can join, we're talking about Wed 11/20 at the Piston SFO office.  The meeting will be *all day* but you can attend parts

IMHO, this is planning for the kick-off, not the actual kick-off.  However, we need to decide quickly if a by-laws change is needed.  That's the primary objective for this meeting.

Here's a tentative agenda (to be ordered based on availability of Mark Radcliff)

Objective:  Determine if a by-laws change is needed & plan for kick-off.

Some topics to review:

*         Process & Logistics

*         Name of committee (Alan was suggesting "elephant" as a follow on for "spider")

*         Should be change the bylaws to be more process (less project) oriented?  If so, how/when?

*         Review the principles, make sure the text makes sense

*         Identify "elephants" in the process that we need to address/avoid/postpone

*         Timeline for implementation

*         Identify technical gaps (beyond RefStack)

*         RefStack review & planning

*         Discuss community involvement process

Subject: Re: [OpenStack Foundation] OpenStack core and interoperability

Rob Hirschfeld and I are chairing the newly approved Interoperability Committee, and we have a kickoff meeting next week. I'm reasonably confident that we'll have a preliminary model for FITS certification by the time of the Icehouse Summit.

We're going to repurpose the existing FITS mailing list for this, so if you want to follow along, you should sign up there.

associated APIs) to ensure compatibility and interoperability.

"OpenStack FITS. Coming soon. The OpenStack Faithful Implementation

I guess we're a little behind there. Is there any benefit to
revising that ETA or do we wait until there's a more solid timeline
established?
