Gluster users - Jan 2014 - centos-gluster variant/spin, a potential?

Hi all,

With the recent news that CentOS and Red Hat is joining forces, there is
new idea from the CentOS team that variants are encouraged. See
http://centos.org/variants/

So, I'm thinking about having a CentOS-Gluster variant, akin to the
community edition of Red Hat Storage.

This would help better integrate and test Gluster within CentOS, and
hopefully can contribute the improvement back to Fedora/RHEL, and also
provide a supported platform that consumer can rely on.

Ideas/suggestion?

Hi there, 

Gluster is for everyone and all distributions. That said, I had been discussing
doing something like this with Centos folks long before the Red Hat - Centos
deal was in process. I'm in favor of it, and I expect the centos people to
start working on it - in fact, they already had been. To the extent that centos
users in the Gluster community want to see it happen, I'm in favor of it.

More broadly speaking, I'm in favor of anything that expands the Gluster
Community and gets our newer releases into the distributions more quickly (yes,
I'm looking at you, Debian and Ubuntu).

This also touches on something I've been wanting to do for a long time -
ISOs/containers/VMs of "live" ready to boot Gluster-based
distributions. We've never had the resources to do it, but I'd be
willing to help out anyone who wants to take that on.
