I sent a message about this yesterday to the Cloud SIG mailing list, but neglected to send to the wider community. Also, I just listed people without introductions, and although I think all of these names should be familiar to many of us, that seems like a nice thing. So: I'm pleased to annouce that the following people have agreed to be voting members of the initial working group: * James Antill -- FPC member, yum maintainer. Will help with the tools we'll need to build a brave new containerized world. * Robyn Bergeron -- Former Fedora Cloud SIG wrangler, now the FPL. Driver of Fedora for those who value mean time to recover over mean time between failure. Talks regularly with smart people in awesome innovative open software communities outside of our traditional comfort zone. * Joe Brockmeier -- Fedora Marketing contributor, and also member of the Apache CloudStack PMC. Will help with market research, marketing, communications, and as much as we can trick him into taking on. * Haïkel Guémar -- Longtime Fedora contributor (packager, ambassador, writer), and works on cloud computing for $DAYJOB, and so will provide a voice for real-world users. * Sam Kottler -- Works with Puppet and is a member of Bundler and RubyGems core teams. Has opinions, not afraid to use them. Does not sleep. * Sandro Mathys -- Another longtime contributor, active in OpenStack and RDO, also works on cloud computing for actual money; will provide real-world experience and contribute to QA. * Matthew Miller -- Me. FESCo coordinator, cheerleading, that sort of thing. * Frankie Onuonga -- Member of the Fedora Infrastructure team, interested in release engineering. Works for a public cloud startup hopefully going live next week with Fedora images. * Mattias Runge -- Fedora contributor and OpenStack developer. Has presented a somewhat different idea of where we should go with this than what I suggested, which is good in case I'm entirely wrong. As Josh noted in the Workstation WG announcement, I also want to strongly stress that while the above people are the initial voting members, we're looking for participation from anyone interested in helping Fedora succeed as a cloud operating system. We will be using using the existing Cloud SIG mailing list (cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and #fedora-cloud IRC channel for group communication. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
