This is a request to add CloudKitty [1] to the Big Tent. CloudKitty is a rating as a Service component aimed at easing integration of OpenStack with existing billing systems. It consumes data from metric systems (ceilometer for example) and with the help of rating plugins and client defined rules, generates prices for the different services. The project is fully licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, and has been actively promoted during the last 2 cycles including a presentation at Vancouver summit, and another on stage presentation. Stéphane Albert is currently acting as PTL. He has been working on the project since the first POC shown at the OpenStack Summit Atlanta. We plan on holding an official PTL election around the Tokyo summit. All code changes are approved by the core members. CloudKitty code is submitted and reviewed using the OpenStack infrastructure and gated through gerrit[2][3][4]. We are starting to use both dev and operators mailing list in order to give the community a way to provide feedback, keep up with our progress and intentions. Meanwhile we have been heavily using IRC for cooperation. The #cloudkitty IRC channel on freenode is logged and the channel is notified of such logging [5]. Community members, core developers and users gather here to discuss about the future of the project as well as questions regarding usage. We have recently booked a slot on #openstack-meeting-3 in for our regular meetings. CloudKitty has been initiated by a single company but since then we have received several patches, and reviews from exterior contributors both originating from different companies and unaffiliated. Actually the whole design of CloudKitty has been improved and decided during regular IRC meetings that have been held by contibutors from many companies in order to reflect their needs and usages. We are aware that CloudKitty has been used in production by several Cloud User (both Cloud Public or Private) for several months.

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.
