Meetings/TechnicalCommittee/Ceilometer Gap Coverage

Concern #1: lack of an explicit project mission statement

 * Actions:
 * collaborative wordsmithing of an appropriate mission statement
 * Driver: eglynn
 * Milestone targets:
 * Completed by: juno-1
 * Status: completed

Concern #2: lack of user- and operator-oriented documentation

 * Actions:
 * 1) joint ceilometer/documentation summit design session
 * 2) address persistent issues in the ceilometer documentation build
 * 3) re-work RDO getting started guide in distro-agnostic form
 * 4) move non-developer-oriented installation instructions out of the in-tree developer documentation
 * Driver: ildikov
 * Milestone targets:
 * Initial progress by: juno-1
 * Completed by: juno-2 juno-3
 * Status: #1-2 completed, #3-4 completed

Concern #3: lack of coverage in integration tests

 * Actions:
 * 1) summit design session to address test strategy shortcomings
 * 2) leverage the ceilometer capabilities API to make the viable sql-a driver discoverable in branchless Tempest
 * 3) land the stalled Tempest patches
 * 4) curate the ceilometer Tempest coverage to ensure it does not become persistently problematic in the gate
 * 5) further extend the ceilometer coverage in Tempest, including a mongodb-based Tempest variant once the distro coverage in the gate allows
 * Drivers: DinaBelova/vrovachev
 * Milestone targets:
 * Substantial progress by: juno-1
 * Completed by: juno-2 juno-3
 * Status: #1-3 completed, #4 in progress, #5 completed

Concern #4: lack of production-readiness of sqlalchemy driver

 * Actions:
 * 1) summit design session to address inefficiencies inherent in the current data model
 * 2) initial round of improvements required for sqlalchemy driver to be viable in the gate / small PoCs
 * 3) leverage sqlalchemy author Mike Bayer's domain expertise
 * 4) allow Juno-derived distros treat sqlalchemy as a first-class citizen in small production deployments
 * Driver: gordc
 * Milestone targets:
 * Substantial progress by: juno-1
 * Completed by: juno-2 juno-3
 * Status: #1-3 completed, #4 completed

Concern #5: lack of participation in Grenade-based upgrade testing

 * Actions:
 * 1) ceilometer services included in the existing grenade sequencing
 * 2) ceilometer-specific assertions on resource survivability in javelin2
 * Drivers: emilienm/cdent
 * Milestone targets:
 * Substantial progress by by: juno-1
 * Completed by: juno-2 juno-3
 * Status: #1 completed, #2 completed
