This is not about stopping people from doing what they are already doing. The end goal is to have the official Debian cloud images built on Debian infrastructure together with other media that is already being built (installation and live CDs and DVDs, BD, OpenStack images etc) as part of the release process. The people who do the work of building official release images at release time _is_ the "CD" team, so those who want to have images for their pet cloud providers built together with the other official images at release time and distributed through the regular Debian channels will then have to submit code to the Debian CD team, in a form that they accept. AIUI the "format that they accept" will still be debated, but will surely include the concerns from the people who take care of the Debian trademark. Those who just want to build images themselves and distribute them at random places can just continue to do what they are already doing. And here lies the most difficult issue, which is how exactly those can be presented as "Debian". Clearly they cannot be called "Official Debian images", but they probably shouldn't be called "not Debian" either. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
