I think this is a great place to try out what we can do with CentOS
collaboration, since they're officially "in the family" now. Anyone have
ideas on how best to proceed with that? New SIGs in both projects? A single
new SIG spanning both? (CentOS's new SIGs seem to be a lot more heavyweight
in terms of process than the concept we have for them in Fedora, for better
or worse.) Some new joint upstream to be the meeting point?

Robyn, you around? Want to lay out the idea in more depth?
