The idea behind using centos-devel is to get a little more visibility in
the beginning, and if we get too 'noisy' we can move to another list
later on. We have members of other upstream projects already subscribed
to this list who are currently involved with the CBS, CI, and other
projects, so it would be good to get their eyes on this in case they'd
like to participate.

There has also been talk of an authentication Special Interest Group
(working on building/packaging/testing projects in this space) and it's
likely the discussions on centos-devel would overlap some.

Our plan for the working group is:

Discussions => centos-devel at centos.org
Meeting Minutes and Summaries (for archive purposes) => community-auth-next-wg at lists.fedorahosted.org
IRC meetings => #centos-devel

Cheers!
