We discussed some reservations about recommending such a simple starting point, including only using nova-network for inter-vm networks, and recommending multi-host for that use case, but feel the current tagged projects indicate a decent starting point for now. We&#8217;ll update it as we see improvements to the starting experience. The projects for an OpenStack starter kit are: cinder, glance, keystone, and nova. Additional tags are being proposed to help with the release mechanisms for a <a href=\"https:\/\/review.openstack.org\/191892\">type:service tag<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/review.openstack.org\/191891\">type:library tag<\/a> merged this week.<\/p>\n<h2>Welcome, new projects<\/h2>\n<p>We welcomed new projects to the &#8220;we are OpenStack&#8221; definition, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Searchlight, providing indexes and search across cloud resources<\/li>\n<li>OS-ansible-deployment (OSAD), deploying OpenStack using Ansible playbooks<\/li>\n<li>Solum, managing the application lifecycle and source-to-image workflows<\/li>\n<li>Cue Message Broker service project proposal, for deploying and managing message brokers using a REST API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There were several topics we didn&#8217;t get to discuss in this meeting due to the longer discussion about the compute starter kit, but we will get to those next week.

The goal for this guide is to provide teams a starting point for understanding our philosophy and general thinking about what it means to be an OpenStack project.
