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) On 01/11/2014 12:09 AM, Karanbir Singh wrote: > On 01/10/2014 10:26 AM, Dave Neary wrote: >> 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 ?

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.
