Are there any specific guidelines, processes to follow, things we should consider in advance, etc.? we are trying to do everything "right" from the beginning, to make the process easier later on.

Hi Ifat,

You should look into the requirements for the new project teams:
http://governance.openstack.org/reference/new-projects-requirements.html

You'll find that those are mostly community requirements. The big tent
approach to OpenStack inclusion is that if you help achieving the
OpenStack mission and are part of the OpenStack community (and develop
in the OpenStack way), then you are an OpenStack project.

We further documented the OpenStack culture in the project team guide
(still under development):
http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/

Those two reference documents should go a long way to explain what we
expect from OpenStack project teams.

Regards,
