One of the stated problems the 'big tent' is supposed to solve is:

"Non-official" projects are second- or third-class citizens which can't
get development resources. Alternative solutions can't emerge in the
shadow of the blessed approach. Becoming part of the integrated release,
which was originally designed to be a technical decision, quickly became
a life-or-death question for new projects, and a political/community
minefield.' [0]
Meaning projects should see an uptick in development once they drop
their second-class citizenship and join OpenStack. Now that we have been
living in the world of the big tent for several months now, we can see
if this claim is true.
Below is a list of the first few few projects to join OpenStack after
the big tent, All of which have now been part of OpenStack for at least
two months.[1]
* Mangum - Tue Mar 24 20:17:36 2015
* Murano - Tue Mar 24 20:48:25 2015
* Congress - Tue Mar 31 20:24:04 2015
* Rally - Tue Apr 7 21:25:53 2015
When looking at stackalytics [2] for each project, we don't see any
noticeably change in number of reviews, contributors, or number of
commits from before and after each project joined OpenStack.
So what does this mean? At least in the short term moving from
Stackforge to OpenStack does not result in an increase in development
resources (too early to know about the long term). One of the three
reasons for the big tent appears to be unfounded, but the other two
reasons hold.
You have not given enough time to see the effects of the Big Tent, IMHO.
Lots of folks in the corporate world just found out about it at the
design summit, frankly.

What is your assumption of what people's expectations are when applying
to join OpenStack?
