[Vishvananda Ishaya <vishvananda@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

TL, DR:

* subteam discussions will happen on the main mailing list
* inter-team communication will use the [subteams] header
* subteam lead is responsible for making sure ML discussion doesn't devolve into bikeshedding
* launchpad groups will remain for blueprint tracking
* subteam leads need to pay more attention to blueprint targetting

Longer Version:

We had a quick subteam meeting to discuss the best way to communicate between subteams.  I've included the minutes at the bottom of this email for anyone who missed it.

We are going to try and improve our communication without adding move meetings.  Subteams are also encouraged to do as much as possible through the ML so that people in all timezones can collaborate.  We recognize that meetings may be needed occasionally, but we can schedule these as needed.

So people can filter properly, when discussing team related topics, please use the short [header] listed on the page here:

http://wiki.openstack.org/Teams#Nova_subteams

Subteam leads, you're responsible for shepherding discussions with your header.  Keep the discussion pointed so that we don't devolve into bikeshedding.

Meta-communication with subteams will use the [subteams] header.  I will bugging team leads about blueprints using this header, so team leads, pay attention to it!

Subteam leads, check your blueprints and target them.  I will be doing a review of untargetted blueprints and sending out an email with specific concerns and requests.

Thanks,
Vish
