Open Stack

Hello Everyone,

The DefCore Committee has been working to provide a periodic report on a
tractable, small number of major barriers we have uncovered during the
course of work to the community that we wish to focus
attention on.  The report is intended to be constructive rather than
critical, and assist the community in recognizing barriers to
interoperability so that they can be addressed.

The full report is available here:
