I know the Foundation is getting concerned with the abuse of the "OpenStack" name for non-official projects. People announcing a "new openstack project" and calling it "openstack FOO". This grey area serves the marketing of a lot of companies well, but creates confusion and dilutes whatever impression of quality and integration we may have created on our users. I fear that adding #openstack-BAR channels adds to that confusion. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-Infra mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
