Open Stack

Hi,

I'm sitting in the session at the Summit and am struck that despite 
excellent efforts all round we have had a couple of instances where 
we've got caught up on terminology or language.

My sense of the group that we seek to act as an information source or 
trusted advisor for PTLs and the broader community as a whole.  We will 
in time build our reputation and so earn a place in the tapestry of 
OpenStack planning procedures.

As project managers we probably need to be mindful of what words we use 
- with the benefit of hindsight I see now the slides we collaborated 
on/reviewed as a group do look a bit like we're "telling" rather than 
"suggesting"

We may well be able to "tell" within our respective organisations, but 
for the community en masse we'll only ever be "suggesting" I think.

I'll see if I can't find a few phrases that perhaps will illustrate this 
in a more concrete way :)

Really nice work all round though - this is a timely initiative if there 
were ever one and my thanks go to all involved.

Cheers,
Hugh
