        - also, don't forget you need to have an OpenStack foundation account 

Erich's Guide to deploy simplex StarlingX 2.0 in a virtual environment: http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2019-September/006059.html
        - Mike T's doc team will review in the meeting today 
        - Greg confirmed that this is covered in the official docs, but is more graphical 
        - Jose noted that this readme file is also relevant to this general topic of deployment/installation https://opendev.org/starlingx/test/src/branch/master/automated-robot-suite

Requirements for commit messages - Saul's email: http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2019-September/006081.html
        - should be at the discretion of the cores whether they require a story 
        - Saul: the commit message always needs to meaningful, and if either of the commit or the story is optional, it should be the story, since it's the commit that lives with the change 
        - Ildiko: as well, having a story/task doesn't make the commit meaningful, esp. if it's just the story/task title 
        - Ghada: at some point, we expect to ask cores to prioritize based on the stories we want to deliver in the release 

Project overview slide deck update - Ildiko's email http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2019-September/005970.html
        - to be discussed in the Community Planning call right after today's call 

FYI: how to 'delete' a StoryBoard - you can delete a StoryBoard story if you created it.  Otherwise, if you mark all un-merged tasks as Invalid, the story will become inactive.
