Eucalyptus 2.0 and Fedora

[graziano obertelli]

Matt,

we would love to be able to coordinate with Fedora about Fedora's and our
releases and web page (where to file bugs and where to find packages): are
you the right person to coordinate with?

We already have one engineer looking into the euca2ools packages. He
already reached out to the euca2ools packages and we hope to have only one
package soon.

How do you think we should proceed for Eucalyptus? Is it possible to have
a 'mentor' to help us get Eucalyptus into Fedora?

cheers,
graziano
