Do you have someone in mind to lead this objective? If so, is there a
reason they didn't propose this themselves?
Having come to the Fedora Engineering team from the OpenShift team I
think I'd be a good candidate and we're already going to be running
OpenShift in Fedora Release Engineering for the OSBS(OpenShift Build
Service) portion of the Layered Image Build Service[0]. However, I
should note that the OpenShift installation there will not be user
accessible, it's just going to effectively be a build target for Koji
so if we have plans/hopes/dreams of running our own OpenShift for
Fedora users, that's a whole different ball of wax.
I didn't really think we needed a mass proposal or anything so I
didn't write one (though I think my plans/goals were a minor subset of
what Matt is proposing), I've already been working with upstream a
little bit on this and as of a few weeks back I've become involved
with making sure the upstream release packages are in a good state
(previous release had some issues so I volunteered to help).
It's all in my COPR space[0] which is where it started long ago when I
was on the OpenShift team, but the plan was to ultimately end up in
the Fedora Proper repositories, was just a matter of finding time and
there's still no official packaging guidelines for golang. As an
aside, a number of folks in the upstream group has permissions on my
COPR for builds and it's largely been a shared effort so far.
