Hi,
(Also, officially, hello centos-devel! I'm one of the new guys here - been working on growing the community around oVirt, OpenStack on CentOS & RHEL and a few other bits & pieces as part of my job in Red Hat - very eager to see effective collaboration between projects with CentOS)

The best option from my point of view would be to have Eucalyptus participating in a Cloud SIG, and spinning a Euca variant from that. Would that be OK with you?
That would get my vote as well, however it might be worth considering a few things here : Do we split Cloud Infra from Cloud Instance SIGs ? Although the core SIG will deliver cloud instances, it will only be for the core distro.
And when multiple vendor or project solutions need to replace or rely on components that otherwise have the same name/ver or similar function ( eg. different libvirt versions ), how do we handle those.
I definitely see provision of cloud instances and collaboration on what infra providers need to be separate problem spaces. I was thinking "cloud infrastructure" when thinking about a cloud SIG, but perhaps it makes sense to frame things as you suggest.
What I would like to see is a CentOS stack which allows all of the cloud storage, networking, virt management and IaaS projects to show themselves in a good light - we will need newer stuff that isn't available in RHEL 6 to do so (and the sam will doubtless happen during the RHEL 7 release cycle), and it makes sense for us to talk & share the burden of supporting those newer components on top of core CentOS.
Cheers, Dave.
