I did discuss the idea with my manager (Denise Dumas, Director of Platform
Engineering) to make sure she would support me in spending time developing
it. She has promised (including to everyone at Flock) to provide resources
where we can make a good case for them (and I think we can!). I also talked
with a few people both inside and outside of Red Hat to help adjust the
initial presentation and message, and I presented it to get feedback from a
handful of groups internally before Flock.

Mostly, though, there was very little that you can't see on this and other
mailing lists and in Fedora IRC logs.
