</div>I think it's important that we are able to demonstrate availability on<br>
as many of the major platforms as possible. It's mutually beneficial as<br>
it can help to increase cloud take-up for providers as well as uptake of<br>
Fedora.<br>

</div>I think that instructional content for running Fedora on rackspace would<br>
be a candidate for inclusion in the cloud guide which Sparks sent out a<br>
feeler about a few weeks ago. I believe EC2 and openstack as well as<br>
some more general cloud overview content were already highlighted as<br>
potential topics for said guide.<br>
<br>
Perhaps rackerhacker can provide some information that would assist with<br>
this?<br>

</div>Will make an effort to be present in case I can assist in some way with<br>
the above efforts. I think if I've got the conversion right these are at<br>
7am Friday my time which isn't too abhorrent.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>We had some ins at Amazon who helped us along. If we can get the same kind of ins at Rackspace, move forward, I say.</div><div><br></div>
