Indeed, Option 3 gets my vote. One aspect I'd like to mention regarding diversity of contributors in any open source project is a crucial element gives credibility to its "open sourceness". Many of the tools that do software evaluation pay close attention to this element. 'Contributors' is to be intended in a wider term than just code developers or commits: having users very involved in design discussions or providing test/use cases, for example, would be IMHO evaluated positively towards a diversity score. Option 3 is a good balance because it helps projects get started and puts pressure on them to grow outside of the team that started. It's not a secret that the outside-looking aspect of OpenStack since its inception is what made it so successful so rapidly. One team coding, one team recruiting contributors (users and developers): let's keep the model going. /stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
