I'm really excited to see their interest in Fedora.
Unfortunately, I can't mentor, since I'm not a packager myself ;) I will go help review the two packages mentioned in the meeting, for my journey down that road. I can't atm justify working on things too far out of stuff that is relevant for my daily work; my employer is very supportive of OSS, but not if it means they're paying me to work on something completely irrelevant to my job ;) So I've had a problem finding things to review. I have a couple packages I could look at trying to get in that are smaller, and am willing to help them out on this...just not as a mentor. Eucalyptus is something I wanted to use in the past, but didn't because it wasn't immediately Fedora-happy; if a time-saving tool doesn't save time, then I can't use it. I *can* help develop it (on my company's timeclock) to be Fedora happy though, if it's something that they're doing - so I'm very on board with helping there.
The Eucalyptus people are very interested in getting help with that; their biggest problem has been a lack of manpower. They're even hiring me to, among other things, do just that. ;)
