Cloud SIG Meeting Minutes - 2011-08-19

Fri Aug 19 20:20:38 UTC 2011

Hi folks,

LOTS O FUN today - many things going on.  Logs and minutes links are 
here, full minutes are below. I'll also note that I skipped over the 
BoxGrinder folks haphazardly, despite being reminded, so we chatted 
really quick after the meeting, and I just copypasta'd the convo to 
below the meeting minutes, for everyone's benefit.

There's also some discussion today, and reading the logs might be 
helpful for more context (discussion towards end of meeting) about the 
idea of having a CUDCon (Cloud Users/Developers Conference), possibly at 
the same time as a FUDCon, and quaid is following up with a mail to the 
Cloud SIG about that idea.
