I've been the defacto maintainer of the Fedora cloud image

for the past year or so (I have commit access, and I use it!), and I
think that's gotten into fairly decent shape. This WG will be about
going beyond decent and into something that's actually both very useful
and well-used. I have some ideas for what that'd look like, but I'd
like to hear yours too. And, I'm interested in hearing where you'd like
to contribute in specific.

I posted a few weeks ago about possible directions for the cloud
product.

I've also heard a few comments suggesting that the cloud guest
should
basically just be the server product in image form, with cloud-init.
This is a model where cloud computing is basically seen as providing
"servers in the sky"; I think there's a place for that, but again, I
don't think it's what we should be aiming at.
And from the previous emails, the proposals were basically (feel free
to correct me if I'm wrong):
1. Cloud image is the Fedora Server OS, but tailored to run in a virtual
environment and with cloud-init. (roughly what you do now).
2. A lightweight distribution made for running containers on top of.
Likely would not look much like a normal Fedora Sever, no docs., maybe
even no rpm/yum, etc. etc.
3. Tools to help Fedora users generate their own images, based upon
either #1 or #2.
...I was mostly assuming I could help with #2, and maybe #3, but
probably not as much with #1 (at least atm.).
