Re: OpenStack Satellite

 

It brings awareness to the possibilities of openstack.  It allows someone
like me who is reviewing the platform for their better understand how to
utilize it and how others are leveraging it. It helps developers trying to
integrate with openstack find each other.

It brings more attention to openstack as a platform by relating it to
external projects.

The concept of a contrib repo is nothing new. It will exist and have value
whether it is recognized or not.

that use swift (swauth, slogging, cyberduck, all the rackspace language
bindings, several iOS apps, a few dashboards), and I can't seem to see why
they would benefit by being grouped into one umbrella.

There is a lot of development going on around services that consume as well
as leverage the Openstack core. I think a place like this can help benefit
in the development of the outside projects and allow a place for these
discussions without polluting too much discussion here in the Core mailing
list.

contributions as people try to contribute on the boundaries. I hope people
will support this idea.
