Apologies, I sent this to KB's direct mailbox earlier today and apparently I didn't send it to centos-devel. So I'm forwarding it now.
Given that there are at least two other projects keen to make this happen, it would be great if the Cloud SIG could be a single multicloud target.

Hello,
I'm Jaime Melis from the OpenNebula project [1]. We have been involved with CentOS for the past year making a stable Cloud Management Platform [2]. I would like to hereby propose a new CentOS variant, namely the OpenNebula variant.
This variant would add three roles to the CentOS installation:
- OpenNebula Frontend
- OpenNebula Node KVM
- OpenNebula Node Xen
The work for the Frontend and Node KVM roles has been completed and is ready to be released. The Node Xen role is still in progress although close to being finished.
This work should take place under the Cloud SIG umbrella, which right as of now doesn't exist, so I would like to also propose the creation of this group with the aim of making the major cloud platforms work wth Centos.
Regards, Jaime

Hi All,
I'm picking up this rather old thread. I finally might have some free time to work on this.
I can't seem to find earlier conversations about his but i believe the intention was to release something that had everything on board to install Opennebula.
I've a few questions about this :
- at first sight most ruby gems are available through EPEL. Are we going to use that or do we rebuild the gems and add them to a CentOS/opennebula repo ? It might make sense since Opennebula requires specific versions of some gems and prioritize repo's might complicate things.
- Or is the idea to add them (rpms) to the install media? I think most people deploy a minimal install and work from there so it might not be the best option.
