The big question I still see in most cloud conversations is the OS and not the applications involved. That is my main reason for not seeing a good matchup of a general Cloud FLOSS conference and FUDcon. It can put some sponsors in a hard spot because they dont' want to look Fedora specific.. and unless we can run this as a part of UDS also.. it makes it a jarring juxtapostion. My gut feeling on rumination is that this is more of a Red Hat Summit set of tracks than a FUDcon. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
