I agree with the above comments w.r.t. tooling, but I think we will still need 
to determine what I think is at the core of Chris's concern which is in a world 
where we have extracted the cloud provider implementation from Kube (and 
externalizing these from Kube has indeed been on the table for some time, so 
thanks Dims for taking the initiative) how do we continue to work on it in the 
OpenStack community while also still maintaining - if not extending - our level 
of interop and visibility with the Kubernetes community. I think the focus of 
concern here should be less on the tools though - as you note each community 
has its own tools and that is unlikely to change - and more on communication 
but it can be difficult to decouple the two (IRC versus Slack, Zoom, etc.).

Thus far discussion of open PRs/Issues and ongoing work w.r.t. the provider 
implementation has primarily focused on the Kubernetes OpenStack SIG (the scope 
of which was recently extended to allow space for discussions/collaboration 
between the various OpenStack deployment projects and folks anchored in the 
Kubernetes side of things, specifically w.r.t. Helm. It's not immediately clear 
to me how we would prefer to maintain visibility on the Kubernetes side of the 
fence going forward because a natural progression of "this is developed, 
tested, and served up on OpenStack infra" would of course also be to move most 
of these discussions to IRC.

Thanks,

Steve
