Well, I don't mind adding into the noise, then.

My level of participation in OpenStack is slightly crippled by
OpenStack being owned by a private organization. Anything
promotion-wise I do can be construed as promoting a private
organization, and that's something I'm not allowed to do. This
includes actively recruiting members of my movement to work on
OpenStack related issues that affect us.

I was definitely hoping to see more activity by this point in time. At
the last summit there was discussion about having a lot of the initial
work done that was necessary to begin this process within a month
after the summit. Can we get a time frame as to when this work might
be done? There isn't really much the community can do without the
first steps being taken.

At minimum, can we get an update on the progress of the foundation formation?
