I think this summary is pretty reflective of the thread so far. I also agree that I see very little benefit from transitioning the stable-maint-core team into a recognised project team, I can't imagine there being any measurable benefit from this.. feels more like a paper exercise.. however, I don't feel strongly enough to try and stop this. Due to limited time, I'd not like to be a driver... but would like to be part of the seed group of cores. If this is to happen, it seems reasonable to map stable-maint-core -> stable-maint project. We've traditionally been pretty bad with discussion and engaging with fellow stable-maint members, so a standing (short) meeting might help improve this. -- Kind Regards, Dave Walker __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
