Mission Statement Voting OK... I promised to schedule a vote for today and naturally I am behind. The good news is this means you guys have the weekend to think about this.
A bit about process. Having been through a substantial mission statement exercise already, I'm not inclined to lengthen the process much further by accepting further tweaks. I am therefore going to exercise the mighty ><}}}*> one final time and reduce the nominees for Aeolus Mission Statement to three. I hope you all will view this less as an act of oppression and more as an act of getting the hell on with it :). In voting, I would urge you all to remember that a mission statement can and probably should be aspirational -- our software may not fill our mission today, but we intend that it will someday, and that new additions to Aeolus will be included or not based on how well they will help us fill the mission. The choices, then, are: 1. Aeolus mission: To provide superior tools and workflows for flexible construction, management, and monitoring of multi-instance systems across clouds. (This is the original version we concocted at the dev conf.) 2. Aeolus mission: To provide superior tools and workflows for flexible construction, management, and monitoring of multi-instance deployments across clouds. (Modifications by Giulio Fidente and Justin Clift, received at least one endorsement on list.) 3. Aeolus mission: "To provide open source tools for the management and monitoring of cloud based systems." (Alternative from Mo Morsi. Mo says: "Are we just focusing on 'multi-instance systems'? Isn't providing simple tools to build images and launch a single instance against any generic cloud provider part of Aeolus?") Vote for one by end of Monday, please.
