The concern they raised was not necessarily about a testing standard for any individual project, but more about the combination of testing across that set of the most commonly deployed projects. In other words, if there is no “kernel” grouping, it potentially makes it harder to understand the full set of dependencies, how well the integration between nova and glance is tested, and things along those lines. One item that came up that a lot of them seemed to appreciate, for example, was that there was some forcing function for the integrated projects that kept their dependencies somewhat aligned and allowed them to understand what all they might need to be running to deploy any set of those projects. If the projects are all split apart, now they would have to deal with understanding that separately for each project they intend to deploy. Sean had mentioned in the session that some of this was probably already going to be changing, but I do think it was an interesting point that seemed to be very widely held among the operators there. > > For tags, I think defining a set of projects based on a broad reference > architecture / use case like "base compute” or “compute kernel” and “object > storage” is critical.

I'll post a link once I've uploaded to gerrit. That’s great news. I think defining those important tags will go a long way in giving people confidence in the process and moving forward. I believe this is the one you started: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/163236/ Might be worth sharing over to the operators mailing list where Subbu has a message about some of the discussions as well: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-operators/2015-March/006511.html <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-operators/2015-March/006511.html> I’m sorry it took me a while to respond to this. Thanks for taking time to provide feedback last week.
