Hello there,

I've been using CentOS for quite a while but I haven't gotten involved
with the overall community quite yet.  I'm using this email as a step
towards changing that. ;)

Karanbir mentioned that the Hosting SIG[1] needed an owner and I'd
like to take on that challenge

I've worked with web/application hosting since 2002 from basic LAMP
stacks to large-scale, highly orchestrated OpenStack-based
virtualization environments.  There are some nuances to the world of
hosting that demands quite a few changes from a standard CentOS
minimal installation.

Some of my goals for the SIG would be:

1) How do we make it easier for system administrators to host
applications using various development languages and server platforms?

2) How can we make configuration automation frameworks more effective
and easier to use on CentOS in hosting environments? (Think ansible,
puppet, chef, etc)

3) I'd like to see if we could make a boot-from-PXE squashfs live OS
(similar to Debian's live system) a supported solution for very large
server environments.

These are just some of my initial thoughts on the topic.  I welcome
your feedback!
