I'm also interested in a bare-metal SIG. Cluster-Lifecycle is an important topic for me, as there are many tools for managing bare metal clusters, and many required components for such things are pretty esoteric (PXE, LLDP, TFTP, IPMI, lots of low-level stuff) for many developers used to a managed cloud environment.
For example, we use Collins[0] to manage our bare-metal hardware inventory/lifecycle, but it's pretty clunky, and somewhat incomplete out of the box.
