I struggle with abstract process improvement proposals; my mind is always searching for a concrete goal to structure for, and doesn't do as well with structure for its own sake.  So, I would prefer this to *start* with a story to tell, and build the community scaffolding to align with that message.

Containers seem popular these days, maybe start with the story around atomic host deployments, building scalable application containers, and managing that stack?
