At the recent Board+TC+UC meeting, the User Committee presented the API workgroup as a User Committee workgroup, based on data from:https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee
Yeah, that's been ongoing for a while and not something any of us in the working group have done anything about as it didn't seem to cause any harm and it came with one benefit: We consistently get handling for a room at Summit. Since we haven't had any indications one way or another that it is bad to be sort of multi-homed, we haven't bothered to change things.
That said, the API WG discussions seem to be mostly developer-driven, happen on openstack-dev, and the openstack/api-wg repository is listed under the TC-driven repositories:
It is certainly the case that we are mostly developers-of-openstack- driven and we target those same developers as the audience for the guidelines we create. However, it is also the case that the primary reason we want to guide the developers is so they create APIs which are consistent and usable by the end users. So there's a bit of overlap.
It's not really a big deal (I'm fine with it either way), but since we may want to list working groups on the governance website soon, it would be great to clarify where that one falls...
Given the desire to have working groups that are TC governed and for them to be listed, I think it would make sense to clarify the API-WG as being governed by the TC. That's how we think and operate [1], so may as well make it official. If we do so we'd still like to keep ties with the User Committee strong. Unless, of course, there's some objection from the User Committee or edleafe and elmiko. [1] In the sense that if it there is an unresolvable dispute, the TC is the source of mediation and resolution. -- Chris Dent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://anticdent.org/ freenode: cdent tw: @anticdent
