When we first introduced Project Sputnik, the client-to-cloud solution for developers, over a year ago we talked about two community projects: the profile tool and the cloud launcher. We garnered a fair amount of attention and made some progress but unfortunately not as much as I would have liked. I am very happy to report therefore that recently we have put together an intrepid group of developers and architects within Dell to pick up the profile tool charge. 
While we’ve had a few false starts in the past, besides the addition of committed Dell resources, there are a couple of other things that set this time apart: 1) we are starting from an internal use case and 2) we are working with and leveraging some of the work of Docker.
And just like when project Sputnik originally kicked off, we want to get your input and feedback on the Profile Tool and its direction. Check out my blog for the specifics of what we are looking for.
