Dear Release Team, After a year of development, my OpenStack cluster installer is nearly finished. However, it still needs a bit of polish to be able to be fully functional, with all the features that I am planning. Currently, OCI can setup clouds, but need a bit of manual intervention to get the network working. Also, it's not fully ready for accounting of metrics (which is needed to provision a public cloud).
OCI uses all the OpenStack team's packages, which are currently in pretty good shape. Hopefully, no major update will be needed for them. To me, I see OCI as the d-i for OpenStack in Debian. It really makes sense to push a bit more its development during the freeze, so that everything is really automated and fully working. I very much would like to avoid having a half-baked solution in Buster, or being forced to use buster-backports. So I'm wondering if the release team would be ok to give me one more month to finish adding a few features (mostly, network setup related) in OCI before declaring it to be frozen for Buster as well. Please let me know your thoughts, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
