* [[User:rbergero|Robyn Bergeron]] - FPL, former Cloud SIG wrangler, #momops expert. My goal in the group is to help where I can (even if it's just organizationally) and through sharing insights from others. I happen to think that Fedora can be a fantastic OS for cloud usage, particularly for those consumers who value MTTR over MTTF. Our quick uptake of new technology can be advantageous in these types of deployments, where the perceived "risks" of the bleeding-edge are often mitigated via automation and monitoring, and fast boots and reboots and improved OS internals provide benefits in recovery that outweigh the risks.

* [[User:Frankieonuonga| Frankie Onuonga]] -I am a user of fedora cloud images at work. I contribute my work back to the community in various ways through contributibution in various cloud related packages. I also encourage various users in my former university to use it. I think it is amazing.I would like to make sure the experience is the same for other users in terms of features and stability.

I'm primarily interested in a consistent experience across clouds and systems management at large scale on public + private clouds.
* [[user:James|James Antill]] - Red Hat Employee, FPC member, yum maintainer.
* [[User:grover|Andy Grover]] - Red Hat engineer in the kernel storage group. Primary interest is development of better OS-level configuration APIs that will enable faster and more reliable continual instance redeployments. Also interested in OS image size issues, and keeping Fedora current with new containerization options.
* [[User:red|Sandro Mathys]] - Long-time Fedora contributor (in various, changing roles such as Package Maintainer, Proven Tester / QA or Ambassador - see my user page), Cloud SIG member, RDO contributor, upstream Packstack and Puppet-Openstack contributor, and paid for being a (Lead) Cloud Architect running a private cloud based on OpenStack Folsom and Havana. Primary interests are with a great (the best!) cloud image and OpenStack (on Fedora and in EPEL). Also, doing QA of both. Tries to provide actual real-world cloud experience. Loves the bleeding edge.
* [[User:mrunge|Matthias Runge]] - Fedora contributor (packaging, testing, sponsor, proven packager) and OpenStack developer. My goal is to keep Fedora in a good shape when it comes to provide cloud infrastructures.
* [[User:Hguemar|Haïkel Guémar]] - Long-time Fedora Contributor (packager, sponsor, ambassador), my day job is SaaS/HPC senior engineer in a startup. I'd like to help making Fedora a great cloud platform (packaging, reviewing, testing) at various levels (IaaS/PaaS hosting, cloud images, client tools etc.). As a community member, i'd like to make sure that Fedora Cloud product will be suitable to our users (developers, operators, etc.) with a rock solid experience.
* [[User:Jzb|Joe Brockmeier]] - Fedora contributor (marketing) and Apache CloudStack PMC member. My day job is working on the OSAS team for Red Hat. My interest in the workgroup is helping to ensure that Fedora is a top choice for cloud instances and that the work being done by Fedora in this space is highly visible, and also gather "market" research for the group to ensure it's going in the right direction. Also able to help operationally, and in reaching out to upstreams (like CloudStack) if needed.
* [[User:mattdm|Matthew Miller]] - FESCo member, Fedora cloud SIG. Interested in making Fedora cloud find a unique focus where it can have wide success.
