[Rdo-list] Software Factory for RDO experiment

[David Moreau Simard]

Hey Fred,

Our setup is a bit all over the place right now - in my day-to-day I
deal with three gerrits, four jenkins - delorean and mirrors on
trunk.rdoproject, cbs, fedorapeople and so on.
As a relatively new guy, it took me far longer than I'd like to admit
to just wrap my head around what is where and how it works.. and
there's still some things I'm confused about.

So, the idea of centralizing stuff in one place is IMO a good one but
we need to make sure we get everyone aligned on the objectives and the
solutions as to not create yet another standard [1].

I think we're in the process of moving the Jenkins portion of the
infrastructure to ci.centos.org right now. Perhaps you can chat about
Wes to get more information on the how, when and why.

My one question that comes to mind about making your experiment a
reality: do we have the resources (human, time and capex) to make
something like this happen ?
