OpenStack Governance

image

OpenStack Foundation

  • Nonprofit foundation created to "develop, support, protect, and promote" OpenStack
    • Individual members: all of us
    • Institutional members: Platinum and Gold sponsors
    • Led by a board of directors
    • Creates other committees for day-to-day leadership
      • Technical Committee
      • User Committee

The role of the Technical Committee

colleft

The Technical Committee ("TC") is tasked with providing technical leadership over all the OpenStack projects. It enforces OpenStack ideals (Openness, Transparency, Commonality, Integration, Quality), decides on issues affecting multiple programs, forms an ultimate appeals board for technical decisions, and generally has oversight over the OpenStack project entirely.

OpenStack Project Teams

Project Teams are teams of people using tools (code repository, bug tracker, etc) and coordinated processes to produce a number of deliverables, in order to achieve a clearly stated objective.

    • read tc.2014-04-01-20.03.log.html and briefly comment on keystone document

Active Technical Contributor (ATC)

The TC seats are elected by the Active Technical Contributors ("ATC"), which are a subset of the Foundation Individual Members. Individual Members who committed a change to a repository under any of the official OpenStack programs (as defined above) over the last two 6-month release cycles are automatically considered an ATC.

  • TC seats are elected by ATC
  • Same as APC
  • Bug triagers, technical documentation writers, etc can exceptionally apply for ATC

Active Project Contributor (APC)

  • Voters for a given program PTL
  • Subset of the Foundation Individual Member
  • Committed a change over the last two 6-month release cycles
  • Candidacy for the corresponding program PTL election

Project Team Leads (PTLs)

  • Manage day-to-day operations
  • Drive the program goals
  • Resolve technical disputes
