At the last Centos dojo in Belgium I gave a talk on why the RDO repos exist, and why OpenStack packages were moved _from_ EPEL:
This was an extremely productive session, and I made -lots- of notes on the day, but the .odp on that url has everything really relevant here. Everyone, please go look at it.
We need a CentOS story for and around openstack - one, to make it easier to consume and develop / test / play with. OpenStack isnt the easiest thing to get off the ground, and the choices one makes in the early days are the ones that cause most issues later on. And secondly, an increasingly larger number of other projects and code bases are consuming and extending / adding to the openstack base and having an openstack story in CentOS allows those projects and efforts to come work in this ecosystem as well.
The process and SIG structure options that Padraig lays out are prolly the closest thing I've seen so far to a working bootstrap process. Lets get some eyeballs on it, and chart out a getting-started course.
Can we ?
