Which is our fundamental chicken and egg problem. The Barbican team has said they've reached out to other parties, who have expressed interest in joining, but no one else has. The Heat experience shows that a lot of the time companies won't kick in resources until there is some kind of stamp of general approval. If you showed up early, with a commitment to work openly, the fact that the project maps to your own use cases really well isn't a bug, it's a feature. I don't want to hold up a team from incubating because other people stayed on the sidelines. That was actually exactly what was going on with Heat, where lots of entities thought they would keep that side of the equation proprietary, or outside of OpenStack. By bringing Heat in, we changed the equation, I think massively for the better. -Sean -- Sean Dague Samsung Research America s...@dague.net / sean.da...@samsung.com http://dague.net
