For the last few months we are working on the Cloud Special Interest Group in the CentOS project. The goal of this SIG is to provide the basic guidelines and infrastructure required of FOSS cloud infrastructure projects so that we can build and maintain the packages inside official CentOS repositories.

We have regular meetings at 1500 UTC in every Thursday on #centos-devel IRC channel. You can find the last week's meeting log here. RDO (Openstack), Opennebula and Eucalyptus were the first few projects to come ahead, and participate in forming the SIG. We also have a good number of overlap with the Fedora Cloud SIG.

RDO is almost ready to do a formal release of Kilo on CentOS 7. The packages are in testing phase. Opennebula team has started the process to get the required packages built on CBS.

If you want to help feel free to join in the #centos-devel channel, and give us a shout. We do need more helping hands to package, and maintain various FOSS Cloud platforms.

There are also two GSoC projects under CentOS which are related to the Cloud SIG. The first one is "Cloud in a box", and the second one is "Lightweight Cloud Instance Contextualization Tool". Rich Bowen, and Haikel Guemar are the respective mentors for the projects.
