The win the enterprise group continues to come up with use cases. It's working on adding filling gaps in the docs as well.

Between the operator, win the enterprise groups, this subteam would isolate and test out those use cases and publish the results?

Excellent question.  I think it would be really useful to have/get a quick overview of these non-developer groups and their charter/mission.  I was under the impression that the win the enterprise group was a cross between product marketing and product management?  Not sure.

My thoughts on the reference architecture team(s) would be that as a cross project group, they could identify/specify architectures based on use cases, then work together to define, document, automate installation and interop testing and publish all of the generated information.

I think, after the initial implement/document/publish cycle, the hardest part will be updating for every OpenStack release.  And, if the devs get the upgrade process correct, then it might mostly be documenting the new and deprecated features.

The key take away here is that there should be a less than one day process for any of the endusers to install a small multimode cloud for their own purposes, similar to what devstack does for devs.  And for endusers, it needs to be extremely well documented.

This could even be used in training courses for the lab work phases.

I believe Rob Hirschfeld will be in attendance so, Rob (and I if he wants me) can cover the DefCore and Refstack session.  Rob is certainly the expert on DefCore.

I'd also like to propose a session on defining/finding a project manager to start creating some reference architectures with tested installs.  Right now there is a discussion on the Operators' list on a small installation, 3-5 nodes, with HA.  This could be a fine first reference architecture with all the code and docs to make it similar (or better) to install than devstack.  This is also a good architecture for prospective users for prototyping, testing, or small business installation.  Spec'ing this out during the summit, or at least getting a good start, along with a volunteer project manager, would be a very worthwhile endeavor for the meetup.

Subject: [Product] Time to Pick Topics

It’s time to finalize the OpenStack Product Management topics for the Kilo
midcycle meeting
<http://sarob.com/2015/01/openstack-kilo-product-management-midcycle-coming-to-a-greater-understanding/>
coming
up. We will need speakers for each topic. I want to get the best authority
possible for each talk, so locking down the topics is required. I will need
to get their commitment as soon as possible.
