Sounds good to me. I will have images built for AWS pretty much as soon as "stable" points to stretch on the mirrors. The details will be documented at https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Stretch as with the previously released "beta" stretch images. > >From the Debian Cloud Sprint [1] and the wiki page [2] looks like the > idea of "official images" is still work in progress.

Fair enough. User experience should be about the same either way. Details to be worked out are pretty much entirely internal, in terms of various image generation workflows and where they run. > I have created a pad https://pad.riseup.net/p/stretchcloudimages with > some questions.

I believe most of the details you're looking for are covered on the https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Stretch, except for support and documentation details. In general support is via debian-cloud@lists.d.o, #debian-cloud, or the cloud.debian.org bts pseudopackage. Documentation is wiki.debian.org, though there's not a lot to speak of. Thanks noah
