OpenStack Technical Committee Decisions
4960273124
This change moves Fuel out of the official OpenStack project list (governed by the Technical Committee) and makes Fuel an unofficial project, hosted under OpenStack project development infrastructure. Fuel originated at Mirantis as their OpenStack installer. It was proposed as an official OpenStack project in July 2015 and approved in November 2015. The promise at that time was that making it official would drive other organizations to participate in its development and turn it into the one generic OpenStack installer that everyone wanted. Fuel was not a small endeavor: in Mitaka and Newton it represented more commits than Nova. The Fuel team fully embraced open collaboration, but nevertheless failed to attract other organizations. Mitaka and Newton were still 96% the work of Mirantis. Since October 2016, Fuel's activity has dropped, following the gradual disengagement of its main sponsor. Comparing activity in the 5 first months of the year, there was a 68% drop between 2016 and 2017, the largest of any official OpenStack project. The Fuel team hasn't met on IRC for the last 3 months. Activity dropped from ~990 commits/month (Apr 2016, Aug 2016) to 52 commits in April 2017 and 25 commits in May 2017. And there are unsolved issues around licensing that have been lingering for the last 6 months. Fuel was always a bit of an outlier on the OpenStack project map, due to its scope (deploying OpenStack) but also due to its own policies in terms of releasing and stable branches. Despite the efforts of the Fuel team, Fuel did not become what we hoped when we made it official: a universal installer produced by the OpenStack community, and used across the board. It was worth a try, we had to try, but at this point it's time to stop considering it a part of "OpenStack" proper and make it an unofficial project (hosted on OpenStack project development infrastructure).

This repository contains OpenStack Technical Committee reference documents and tracks official resolutions voted by the committee.
Directory structure:
- reference/
Reference documents which need to be revised over time. Some motions will just directly result in reference doc changes.
- resolutions/
When the motion does not result in a change in a reference doc, it can be expressed as a resolution. Those must be named YYYYMMDD-short-name with YYYYMMDD being the proposal date in order to allow basic sorting.
- goals/
Documentation for OpenStack community-wide goals, organized by release cycle. These pages will be updated with project status info over time, and if goals are revised.
