In specific:

Would like to help with governance plan and documents, product
definition, defining the target audience, and helping to promote the
project to developers in the communities that are consuming cloud
instances: e.g. AWS, CloudStack, Euca, OpenStack... 

Part of that includes surveying and talking to folks who are consuming
cloud images now and asking "where's the gap between what you use now
and Fedora? What changes would make you interested in using Fedora and
contributing to the project to sustain the instance images you need?"

Best,
