Fedora Cloud Edition next steps (→ Container Cluster!)

[Matthew Miller]

Previously (at last year's Flock and after), we've talked about
replacing the Fedora Cloud Edition with Fedora Atomic Edition. (See
previous discussion on this list if you're unfamiliar with this
decision and its rationale.)

We hadn't actually had much movement on _doing_ that, though, so one of
the goals of last week's Cloud WG FAD was to take the next concrete
steps. But, it turned out that everyone in the room (and
teleconferenced in) felt pretty strongly that we actually should go
even further — not just a single container host, but a full container
cluster solution based on OpenShift Origin. So, rather than letting
_that_ linger, let's work on the next steps for _that_.

Roughly, I see that as:

1. Make sure we have agreement from the current Cloud WG members who
   couldn't be there. We don't want to make big decisions like this
   entirely in a room somewhere without full community input.

2. Reformulate WG members to match new target; possibly some of the
   current WG members are more interested in other aspects of cloud
   computing, like continuing work on the Cloud Base image. That's
   absolutely fine (beyond fine - it's awesome!), but the whole point
   of the WG structure is to support the editions.

3. Pick a name! I know, it's bikeshed painting to some degree, but it
   really is actually important. Possibilities include:

   - Fedora Container Cluster Edition
   - Fedora OpenShift Edition
   - Fedora Atomic Cluster Edition
   - Fedora Some New Entire Name We Create Edition

   and all have their plusses and minuses. 

4. Update governance documents: that's:
   - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud/Cloud_PRD
   - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud/Governance

5. Submit the general idea to the Council for approval to change
   Editions (I don't anticipate this being more than a rubber stamp,
   but we should definitely get that stamp.)

6. Submit any (probably several) Change requests to FESCo for required
   technical changes, and work with Design, Rel-Eng, QA, and etc. on
   those.
