Bug#693094: RFH: cloud-init -- configuration and customization of cloud instances
I request assistance with maintaining the cloud-init package.
The package description is:
System to handle early initialization of a cloud instance. Cloud-init can for
example set a default locale and a host name, generate SSH private host keys,
add SSH keys to a user's .ssh/authorized_keys so they can log in, and set up
ephemeral mount points.
Cloud-init's behavior can be configured via user-data, given by the user at
instance launch time.
Cloud-init is a complex system written in Python, and I do not have much
experience in both. I would like cloud-init to be maintained by a team
of skilled developers who are also experienced users.
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2012/11/msg00003.html for a longer
call for help.
The source package is currently hosted by the Python Applications team,
but can be moved if need is.
