Ian Cordasco cca243172e Document the duties of the Release CPL
I've written some documentation around the role and duties of the
release CPL due to the fact that I'm leaving this role, Glance, and the
larger OpenStack community. This should provide context for both new and
old members of the Glance community as to their responsibilities and
what is expected of them. It also passes on some experience-driven
advice as to what to do to ensure a better Glance release for all.

Glance Contribution Guidelines
==============================
In the Contributions Guide, you will find documented policies for
developing with Glance. This includes the processes we use for
blueprints and specs, bugs, contributor onboarding, core reviewer
memberships, and other procedural items.
Glance, as with all OpenStack projects, is written with the following design
guidelines in mind:
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads
* **Fault tolerant**: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
* **Open standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
tree. Additional documentation on Glance and other components of OpenStack can
be found on the `OpenStack wiki <http://wiki.openstack.org>`_.
