Rather than directly amending a previously-passed resolution, the TC has decided the change should be a new resolution. For the stackforge resolution, this commit adds the text of the updated resolution as a new resolution with some introductory explanatory text noting what the update is and the reason for it. It also reverts the text of the original resolution to that which was originally passed and adds a new section at the bottom of the original resolution which indicates it is amended by a subsequent resolution and links to it. The superseded resolutions are placed in a specific folder for clarity. The same process was applied to the Mission statement resolution. Change-Id: I446d0797554311b199fce999a7469dbf4e3a2d30

2016-01-06 OpenStack Mission amendment
The OpenStack Mission is a critical statement which defines what the OpenStack project is about and the goals we, as a community, aspire to reach. As such, modifying it requires buy-in from all sides of the project governance.
As of today, the OpenStack Mission is the following:
to produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that will
meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being
simple to implement and massively scalable.
It appears that the current statement fails to mention two critical elements: promoting interoperability and serving end users. Those two themes are already recognized as key goals of the OpenStack Community, but yet they are missing from our mission statement.
Therefore, the Technical Committee suggests that we make a small change to the OpenStack Mission statement to include those two elements. It suggests the adoption of the following wording:
to produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that enables
building interoperable public and private clouds regardless of size, by being
simple to implement and massively scalable while serving the cloud users'
needs.
