[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-30d3148cc4d19d0404b6afc17857880256b34037>"
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.
