Asking for help was not very successful, partially due to how intimidating it is for new contributors to join. Maybe proposing mentoring if you offer time is a more positive way to look at it.

Status: under discussion on the [http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-January/002251.html mailing-list]
 
 
 
Cross-project work is still difficult. Maybe formalizing the concept of pop-up teams a bit more, with clear scope and disband criteria (under the model of [https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/wg-governance.md Kubernetes working groups]) would help.

The initial [https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/technical-vision.html vision] has been created. The agreed next step (to be done by cdent and TheJulia) is to publicize it and request that projects self-evaluate themselves against the vision.

The OpenStack Technical Committee is one of the governing bodies of the OpenStack project. You can find more information about it, such as the list of its current members or its governance charter, on the OpenStack TC governance website at https://governance.openstack.org/tc/. We hold weekly meetings.

This page tracks the various governance changes being proposed and the various initiatives the Technical Committee is pursuing. Since Xena release cycle we started to track the items in etherpad. At the start of every release cycle, the OpenStack Technical Committee will prepare that release tracker which can include the backlogs from the previous release if any item is not finished and worth continuing.
