Hi everyone,
Some of us Tuskar developers have had the chance to meet the TripleO
developers face to face and discuss the visions and goals of our
projects.
Tuskar's ultimate goal is to have to a full OpenStack management
solution: letting the cloud operators try OpenStack, install it, keep
it running throughout the entire lifecycle (including bringing in new
hardware, burning it in, decommissioning), help to scale it, secure
the setup, monitor for failures, project the need for growth and so on.
And to provide a good user interface and API to let the operators
control and script this easily.
Now, the scope of the OpenStack Deployment program (TripleO) includes
not just installation, but the entire lifecycle management (from
racking it up to decommissioning). Among other things they're thinking
of are issue tracker integration and inventory management, but these
could potentially be split into a separate program.
That means we do have a lot of goals in common and we've just been
going at them from different angles: TripleO building the fundamental
infrastructure while Tuskar focusing more on the end user experience.
We've come to a conclusion that it would be a great opportunity for
both teams to join forces and build this thing together.
The benefits for Tuskar would be huge:
* being a part of an incubated project
* more eyballs (see Linus' Law (the ESR one))
* better information flow between the current Tuskar and TripleO teams
* better chance at attracting early users and feedback
* chance to integrate earlier into an OpenStack release (we could make
it into the *I* one)
TripleO would get a UI and more developers trying it out and helping
with setup and integration.
This shouldn't even need to derail us much from the rough roadmap we
planned to follow in the upcoming months:
1. get things stable and robust enough to demo in Hong Kong on real
hardware
2. include metrics and monitoring
3. security
What do you think?
Tomas

That certainly makes a lot of sense to me.
