The initial plan was to stop the fragmentation and centralize efforts in the stackforge module. I think we were all able to agree on that. We’ve had rather long discussions on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/a/puppetlabs.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-openstack/ibnrmXBAxVg) and eventually drafted a blueprint:https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Puppet-openstack/ceph-blueprint As far as licensing goes, Enovance’s puppet-ceph was told to become Apache2 to make it easier to pull code from their version of puppet-ceph and it’s many forks and branches (including DTAG’s). As far as I can remember, Sebastien Han told me they had agreed with their contributors to change the license to Apache2 but I have not seen that happening. I for one welcomed the stackforge initiative but have had limited resources to actually contribute new code only recently. I provide insight and reviews currently.
