I think there's a lot of `a rose by any other name would smell as sweet' going
on here, we're really just arguing about how we label things. I admit I use
the term gantt as a very expansive, this is the effort to clean up the current
scheduler and create a separate scheduler as a service project. There should
be no reason that this effort should turn off people, if you're interested in
the scheduler then very quickly you will get pointed to gantt.
I'd like to hear what others think but I still don't see a need to change the
name (but I'm willing to change if the majority thinks we should drop gantt for
now).
Erm, I discussed that point during the weekly meeting and I pledged for
people giving their opinion in this email.

As a meeting is by definition a synchronous thing, should we maybe try
to async that decision using Gerrit ? I could pop up a resolution in
Gerrit so that people could -1 or +1 it.

I actually prefer to use the term Gantt, it neatly encapsulates the discussions
and it doesn't take much effort to realize that Gantt refers to the scheduler
and, if you feel there is confusion, we can clarify things in the wiki page to
emphasize the process: clean up the current scheduler interfaces and then split
off the scheduler. The end goal will be the Gantt scheduler and I'd prefer not
to change the discussion.
Bottom line is I don't see a need to drop the Gantt reference.
While I agree with you that *most* of the scheduler effort is to spin-off the
scheduler as a dedicated repository whose codename is Gantt, there are some
notes to do :
1. not all the efforts are related to the split, some are only reducing the
tech debt within Nova (eg.
bp/detach-service-from-computenode has very little impact on the scheduler
itself, but rather on what is passed to the scheduler as
resources) and may confuse people who could wonder why it is related to the
split
2. We haven't yet agreed on a migration path for Gantt and what will become the
existing nova-scheduler. I seriously doubt that the Nova community would accept
to keep the existing nova-scheduler as a feature duplicate to the future Gantt
codebase, but that has been not yet discussed and things can be less clear
3. Based on my experience, we are loosing contributors or people interested in
the scheduler area because they just don't know that Gantt is actually at the
moment the Nova scheduler.
I seriously don't think that if we decide to leave the Gantt codename unused
while we're working on Nova, it won't seriously impact our capacity to propose
an alternative based on a separate repository, ideally as a cross-project
service. It will just translate the reality, ie. that Gantt is at the moment
more an idea than a project.

Hi,
tl;dr: I used the [gantt] tag for this e-mail, but I would prefer if we could
do this for the last time until we spin-off the project.
As it is confusing for many people to understand the difference in between
the future Gantt project and the Nova scheduler effort we're doing, I'm
proposing to stop using that name for all the efforts related to reducing the
technical debt and splitting out the scheduler. That includes, not
exhaustively, the topic name for our IRC weekly meetings on Tuesdays, any ML
thread related to the Nova scheduler or any discussed related to the scheduler
happening on IRC.
Instead of using [gantt], please use [nova] [scheduler] tags.
That said, any discussion related to the real future of a cross-project scheduler based
on the existing Nova scheduler makes sense to be tagged as "Gantt", of course.
