Summary
Please note that the work on this spin has just started. If you like the idea of creating a cloud-ready spin, just join up!
The Cloud Spin is the easiest way to access the cloud. Containing not much more than a browser, file/media managers and some basic configuration tools, it is lightweight but still easy to extend.

Theme / Style
Possibly a bit darker designed as other Spins as the content within the browser should be in foreground. The panel should autohide to make use of the full screen size.
Target Devices
- Netbooks
- Nettops
Benefit to Fedora
'The future is the cloud', so this Spin will be a great way to access online applications. As it's still Fedora, it is of course extend-able with thousands of offline apps.
