I'm glad we're using the mailing list some more, thanks for the nudge.

I'm rewriting the definition using bullet points to make it more readable:

	Cloud applications in the perspective of the App Ecosystem Working
	Group include

	  * applications built using OpenStack SDK’s or API’s; or
	  * applications deployed atop OpenStack using Heat, Murano, or
	    3rd party deployment/management tools; or

(this includes ansible, puppet, chef, etc, correct?)

	  * applications running within containers, or PaaS solution
	    atop OpenStack.

This is last part I am not convinced about.

PaaS on top of OpenStack is PaaS, traditionally has been outside of
OpenStack scope. CloudFoundry or OpenShift or k8s or the next thing are
*applications* for OpenStack, and OpenStack should serve them, not what
runs on top of them (on top of OpenStack).

I fear we get the scope of this group too wide if we define "OpenStack
Applications" as applications that run on CloudFoundry or Docker Swarm.

Other thoughts?
