Re: [Rdo-list] GSoC Cloud in a Box

Thanks Tom, That's a great way to go about it but it totally eliminates any programming/development from the task and as it is summer of code I need to implement an open source code base. So do you have any suggestions for me regarding maybe extending your idea to do some development?

Otherwise currently based on responses on this thread, I am going for directly interfacing pack-stack with Anaconda (need to do more research on exact nuts & bolts of it).
