When you do this, can you make sure to elaborate on why moving to Atomic+Openshift Origin is good for Fedora, what benefits it brings, and where that leaves other Fedora efforts around Cloud (and even Atomic Host)? While that might all be self-evident to the Cloud WG members, it won't be to the entire Council and most definitely will not be to the greater Fedora ecosystem. > 6.

I'm curious to see what those might be. josh _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
