We are just a few weeks away from the Fedora 14 release, and actually having a new version of Fedora on EC2. This has been *the* major goal over the past, well, 10 months since this list was created, and I'm delighted that it is finally coming together. (Thank you, Justin, for doing all of this work, and everyone else who has been working on supporting his efforts and helping out with behind-the-scenes stuff like talking to Amazon and writing documentation and asking questions!) Of course, this is Fedora, and I know a lot of us are thinking about *what we can do next*. So I'd like to have a discussion here on our friendly mailing-list about some of the things we'd like to do in F15 (and beyond!). First off: We have a lot of stuff in the pipeline that I think we could submit to the Feature List for Fedora 15. What is this "stuff," you might ask? * OpenStack - We already have the Swift portion of this in, and Nova is in the pipeline. (Thanks, silassewell.) http://www.openstack.org * Deltacloud - I'm not sure how far along this is, or if it's possible that this could be fully in for F15, or if there are clearly definable portions that could be F15 features. Anyone from Deltacloud - can you pipe in here? :) http://deltacloud.org/ * BoxGrinder - Marek Goldmann is working on packaging. http://www.jboss.org/boxgrinder * Eucalyptus - obino has been looking for some mentorship as far as packaging goes. If there are folks around to help out with this, I think it would be awesome to have as a feature. Is anyone willing to help out here? http://open.eucalyptus.com/ * Sheepdog - Steven Dake is working on this. http://www.osrg.net/sheepdog/ Additionally, we probably have further enhancements we could make on the EC2 front - namely, having really awesome documentation, which Sparks has been poking the list on since he'd love to help us out there. What other EC2-related enhancements are there for us to tackle? But what I am interested in is - what do YOU guys think about what we could, or even *should*, be doing? Are there other cloud tools, implementations, projects, etc. we should be looking at? What are they? What should Fedora's ongoing cloud-sig focus be? Yes, I know, I'm full of questions. :) Cheers, -Robyn _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
