2016-02-17 OpenStack Mission amendment
|
|
========================================

.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is an update to :ref:`20160106_mission_amendment` in response to
|
|
feedback from the OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors and the following
|
|
`discussion on the foundation mailing list
|
|
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2016-February/002263.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
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 a ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that is
|
|
easy to use, simple to implement, interoperable between deployments,
|
|
works well at all scales, and meets the needs of users and operators of
|
|
both public and private clouds.
