Folks,<br>
<br>
I know this was brought up as part of the Virtualbox Python deployment <br>
tool, which in that case we decided to keep it as was proposed in <br>
stx-tools/depolyment/virtualbox (logical location).<br>
<br>
We are likely going have more contributions that fall into experimental <br>
that the community may want to try.<br>
<br>
Should we have a contrib or experimental repo or subdirectory in <br>
stx-tools for these contributions?<br>
<br>
For example the "StarlingX in a box" work, or another different <br>
deployment tool for qemu?<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I am in favour of having an experimental repository where useful code that is not as heavily scrutinized is stored. That code, if used over time, can be moved out of the repository into a more permanent location with full project workflows and processes applied. My canonical example is the osops-tools-contrib [0] repo. I am just always a fan of large open source projects having something like this where new perhaps inexperienced contributors can submit code, or organizations can submit code that is not "fully baked" for overall review for potential usefulness.<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Now, how many contributions we might see, and what it might look like are certainly up for debate, but I still think it's a useful repository to have, and if it is not used over time then we can remove it. But without it we'll never know. :)<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I am also thinking of myself here as the stx community is putting on a workshop at the summit and there will likely be code and docs that go with that, and perhaps this would be a good place for that kind of thing to live.<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Thanks,<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Curtis</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">[0]: <a href="https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/README.rst">https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/README.rst</a><br></div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
