With the suggested changes and a clear message around timing and promotion
criteria I vote +1. Consider this my absentee ballot.

We really need to get projects such as Quantum and Lunr into incubation so
we can get some level of control over the network and volume APIs and
services. I think the network guys are doing a good job of being open and
engaged, the volume effort less so.

With the work being done to incorporate Keystone as part of all the project
data flows, this is another key project we should consider asap. I also
think these three projects must have serious consideration as promotion to
core at the E DS, we should quickly set expectations amongst the teams and
community correctly. With the level of commitment incubation implies I can
direct Monty, Soren, Thierry, et al toward integrating these projects into
the build/qa/packaging automation processes.

I agree that this makes sense as well. Something along the lines of projects
can enter incubation at any point, projects that feel like they're ready to
move to core will be voted on 6 weeks prior to design summit to be promoted
or not. PTLs will be elected 4 weeks before (I believe this is the existing
schedule). If you guys agree with this, I'll update the wiki pages dealing
with this.

Does anyone have any other feedback on the incubation related pages:

http://wiki.openstack.org/ProjectTypes
http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Proposed/Incubation
http://wiki.openstack.org/Projects/IncubatorApplication

I want to get these locked down so we can get clarity with some of the
projects that are kind of in a limbo state. I'd really like to vote on the
incubation definitions in the meeting tomorrow. Feel free to do an absentee
ballot before then on the mailing list if you won't be able to make the
meeting.

Jonathan.
