+1. This will not slow the development of the projects and allows logical management of the projects to be promoted to "core". In order to make this happen we will need to lead the DS timelines, as ttx points out, to allow PTL elections and to involve the new project PTL's in the upcoming DS planning.
This timeline should be published as part of the overall project lifecycle we are developing (inception/affiliated -> incubation -> core project). Always recognizing that some projects will stop/hold at specific steps in the process (not all project should/can progress to incubated or core).

This is a bank holiday over here and we are having people for dinner. If you have the meeting without me, just a few remarks about Core projects promotion vs. release management. I think projects shouldn't be promoted to "Core projects" status in the middle of a development cycle. The reason is that I need to follow Core projects from a release management perspective (plans, milestone contents, etc.) and you can't just start doing it in the middle of a cycle and pray for a successful coordinated release at the end. They need to be Core projects for the whole cycle, so decided before the design summit time. So we can definitely promote projects to Incubation status, at which point I'd start educating them on release management requirements to make sure they can move to Core status for the next release. And we should decide, at least one month before the design summit, that a given Incubating project will be a Core project for the E development cycle. The corresponding PTLs can then join in time the design summit organization committee and the PPB. But IMHO we shouldn't promote Dashboard, or Burrow, or ScalR to Core status for Diablo, since Diablo is already well started. At that point I'd concentrate our efforts in defining "Incubation" and making sure the right projects enter that state ASAP. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc Post to : openstack-poc@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc Post to : openstack-poc@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack-poc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
