Subject: [openstack-dev] [all][tc] OpenStack is for applications
To: OpenStack Development Mailing List <openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org>


Hello OpenStackists,
One of the great strengths of our community is the way our panoply of
teams can make independent progress towards our goals with a breadth
that no one person or group could hope to keep track of, let alone
control. However, for this to work then from time to time we need to
pop our heads up from our silos to ensure that we are all, in fact,
pointed in roughly the same direction.

The recent thread on "The future of the App Catalog"[1] (it went waaay
off-topic) made it clear, I think to everyone involved, that this is
one such moment. There is a significant disconnect between what
application developers need OpenStack to be and how our community as a
whole has conceptualised what OpenStack is and what it's for. To try
to close that gap, dims asked me to write up a TC resolution that can
help us all to start pulling in the same direction, and the TC has
helped me to tweak the wording:

https://review.openstack.org/447031

Now it's your turn. If we can all agree on what the meaning of our
mission is then we'll get where we're going a lot faster. Please take
a few minutes to review the resolution to make sure we're all on the
same page, ask questions, or suggest alternatives.

thanks,
Zane.
