Open Stack

I also would not have any objection to SCIENTIFIC if this is the consensus (but I'd drop a note to Fermilab to explain the context, i.e. it is not an OpenStack on Scientific Linux distro). 

The other benefit of SCIENTIFIC is that there are a number of companies doing clouds (such as in Life Sciences) who would be interested in the working group but would not consider themselves ACADEMIA.
