In Murano project we do see a positive impact of BigTent model. Since Murano was accepted as a part of BigTent community we had a lot of conversations with potential users. They were driven exactly by the fact that Murano is now "officially" recognized in OpenStack community. It might be a wrong perception, but this is a perception they have.
+1, the same experience as we had with ironic-inspector (former ironic-discoverd)
Most of the guys we met are enterprises for whom catalog functionality is interesting. The problem with enterprises is that their thinking periods are often more than 6-9 months. They are not individuals who can start contributing over a night. They need some time to create proper org structure changes to organize development process. The benefits of that is more stable and predictable development over time as soon as they start contributing.

Not saying this is the final answer to all the questions but at least it's a good place to start from: https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2015/summit-videos/presentation/the-big-tent-a-look-at-the-new-openstack-projects-governance That said, this is great feedback and we may indeed need to do a better job to explain the big tent. That presentation, I believe, was an attempt to do so. Flavio just giving my fly-on-the-wall view from the other side.

"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. The only thing I think this information changes is what peoples expectations should be when applying to join OpenStack.
