OpenStack Project Designations

Core - official projects with full access to OpenStack brand and assets<
> Core projects are the main OpenStack projects. Core projects are branded as OpenStack projects (like OpenStack Compute) and are able to make full use of OpenStack assets and resources including the openstack.org web properties, community documentation resources, automated build and testing infrastructure, and release management resources. Core projects also adhere to the standard OpenStack release cycle.

Incubated - projects on an official track to become core projects; can use incubation assets<
> Incubated projects are projects that have declared their intention to become Core projects and that have been approved for entry into the Incubator program. They have some access to community resources to help guide them through the incubation process and can make use of the OpenStack brand only when it is clear that they are an OpenStack incubated project.

Related - unofficial projects with no rights to use OpenStack brand and assets or project resources<
> Related projects are made of up projects that have chosen to associate themselves with OpenStack. These projects are not officially tied to OpenStack or any OpenStack processes or resources, but may make use of OpenStack or add functionality on top of OpenStack projects. The "related project" designation is meant to provide an aggregation method for the community to expose useful projects and products in the OpenStack ecosystem that are not directly part of the core or incubated projects.
