Open Stack

We would like to make a brief introduction about CFN to the community, we will not discuss any kind of working group application, just purely sharing CFN concept, vision and related technologies, and hopefully we can get more people interested in this topic .
Do you think TC meeting is a good place to start with? 
If so, we are ok with next week's TC meeting, and I can add agenda.


Thanks
Jie Niu

So we probably wait guidance before making next step(or group discussion), is it OK?

No problem Jie, and thanks for the detail plan. As you are in discussion with foundation on possible place for CFN, I will say
you can continue that and if you or foundation need/think we need some place in OpenStack community to add it or some
component of it then we can discuss it in TC. 

Feel free to add it in TC weekly meeting agenda anytime or send me an email and i can add that-

This may include build compiling platform on heterogeneous infrastructure, draft standardization for low-level code development, etc.
