I would like to lurk on that.
I don't have a skype account and would have preferred irc but I'll get a 
skype account.

I'm currently using lxc in limited forms of production (production that 
must work, but can tolerate occasional down time, apologies, growing 
pains) using that as a way to create and then improve 
distribution-specific packaging and integration in opensuse. Using that 
as a stepping stone to real production later where customers will 
actually run on lxc vm's and they must work well enough that I never 
have to apologize to a customer.

I'm not affiliated with opensuse, but no one else is writing any distro 
integration yet so my build service packages and opensuse wiki article 
are pretty much all there is for opensuse yet.

As you said, several startup/shutdown issues need to be discussed 
further to arrive at a general consensus for best practice and most 
expected behavior, which is where my interest lies at the moment. C/R 
will be nice but it's too far off for me to use practically although I 
think some of the userspace glue is within my areas of interest and ability.
