You've done an amazing job with CentOS Atomic. I think the best approach
would actually be to have an additional "leader" person that worked hand in
hand with you as the CentOS lead. If we can't get an additional person
then I would certainly support you in that role for Fedora, but I
would hope to not overload you too much.
I am also willing to volunteer for this.
As the base image is moving to
server wg, and my work related to rel-eng testing side is stable, I can
refocus myself to the Fedora Atomic host in the same way I was doing
base image. Last few months were about jumping into too many things. I
hope that I will be helpful in this case.
