OpenStack Board Directors, At the Denver Leadership meeting[1], the TC included an update on the OpenStack-wide Goals or 'themes'. These themes are one or two goals that all the projects aim to complete during the release. Such goals aim to achieve visible common changes. I was happy to see the progress and At the meeting, the TC stated that it would be acceptable for the OpenStack Board to submit a suggested goal. This doesn't mean that the TC would automatically include it, but that it would then go through the TC process outlined on the TC goals page[2] for process and approval. Would it be productive for the OpenStack Board to discuss, agree upon and submit a candidate goal for some future release? I can think of two or three ideas that would perhaps be pertinent ideas to come from the board. I'm pinging you for your feedback and insight. Is there a 'theme goal' that the board should consider submitting? Do you think this would be a valuable board email discussion over the next couple months?
