Open Stack

I would prefer to have a separate openstack-dev list, but tend to agree
that it will shift developer's attention from general ML to dev-oriented
one.

At the same time it might be beneficial to move some discussions from
general ML to more narrow ones. During the Design Summit we've agreed to
create several working groups. I'm personally interested in:
- nova-volume
- nova upgrade
- orchestration and jobs/retries
- HA
and looking forward for their creation.

Probably creation of such WGs might be publicly announced over the general
ML and interested developers could joint them. Seems like the easiest
method will be to host them on Launchpad (together with MLs, archives,
etc.). It might be also beneficial to have the list of all Openstack WGs
somewhere on Launchpad.

Hello folks,

I've been talking to quite a few developers participating to the Design
Summit and a recurring request I got is to create a new mailing list for
the OpenStack developers to meet and discuss.

There is also a concern that putting developers in another list will
decrease their attention to the bigger part of the community. I believe
this is a serious concern and that it's going to be our role as leaders of
this community to prevent this from happening.

I'd suggest to dedicate the existing mailing list for discussions about
usage of OpenStack (deployment and development of applications on top of
OpenStack API) and create a new one only for developers of OpenStack.
"Developers" in this context should be developers of openstack projects
(nova, swift, quantum, etc).

If there is no opposition to this proposal in the next days, I'll proceed
and create openstack-dev and invite developers to subscribe to it.

cheers,
stef
