Last year there was a lot of discussion of "Core" or "Big Tent" - what does this mean and what is the update?
Russell Bryant
they are two are separate concepts. The technical community has embraced an inclusive governance structure (big tent), while the foundation does work to define "core" for trademark program purposes
Steve
The big tent is about being more inclusive of "who is OpenStack" in terms of development process, but less useful than previous designations in terms of navigating. Hence the introduction of tags and the project navigator.

@russellbryant Where are we with the tags? They were supposed to help sort out the projects in the big tent.

@xsgordon @kenhuiny tags have been progressing, perhaps slowly. Full list of currently defined tags: http://governance.op...

@kenhuiny some examples - "assert:supports-upgrade, assert:supports-rolling-upgrade, stable:follows-policy" - check out http://governance.op...

@xsgordon the upgrade tags were a nice addition. they still lack some nuance (upgrades with which configurations or backends?)
Kenneth Hui @rubrikInc HQ
Will the tags help users to determine what projects are mature enough for production?

DefCore latest guideline: https://github.com/o... Companies must certify using 2 latest guidelines.

@russellbryant another nice resource to mention is the work @thingee has done to improve the new contributor experience https://twitter.com/...

The navigator rolls a number of tags and survey metrics into a maturity "score" - still not really granular enough for operators to navigate IMO

DefCore sets base requirements by defining 1) capabilities, 2) code and 3) must-pass tests for all OpenStack products

my roundup from Vancouver, where we discussed this topic a lot: http://wikibon.com/o...

User Survey showed deployments use 11 projects on average; well beyond the 6 core.

big tent is no longer a topic of discussion and has been fostering the inclusion of additional OpenStack services over the past year. The discussions in DefCore are about ensuring interop between providers of highly-adopted OpenStack services
