[Rdo-list] GSoC Cloud in a Box

Hello, I am working with Rich Bowen on the Project "Cloud in a Box <http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/2015/Ideas#head-30d3148cc4d19d0404b6afc178578... the main idea is to address the "cloud deployment" convenience problem by providing an ISO/image file that installs OpenStack (our choice for cloud) along with OS. RB told me that I can ask for some help regarding my project here and I believe there may be some people who have an idea of the background from which this idea originated, and help me refine my design. ​My understanding is to provide a single node openstack system based on CentOS. For developing this idea my current design is to develop an extension in Anaconda that robustly installs OpenStack​ (as per my search up-till now there are no mainstream linux distros that provide pre-installed OpenStack except for Ubuntu 15 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseNotes> maybe). Currently I am exploring anaconda source to achieve this and also delving into Ubuntu 15's installer for some pointers. I would be grateful if you guys can help me in anyway: 1. Help refine the design/technologies, (maybe there is a motivation that I am unaware of that I should address in my design) 2. Help with anaconda's development (entry/exit points). They have a pretty good source documentation wiki but I am confused on where should my extension go. -- Cheers, Asad
