hi,

http://people.centos.org/z00dax/openstack/essex/

repo file:
http://people.centos.org/z00dax/openstack/essex/CentOS-OpenStack-Essex-test.repo

These should be considered as testing packages and are based on the
upstream Open Stack preview 1 rpms set. These rpms are also signed with
the CentOS-6-Testing key and not the regular distro key. The .el6.alt
distag indicates they were built on the Alt.BuildSys and not the primary
system.[1]

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/Red_Hat_OpenStack_Preview/ is
perhaps the best place to go for a quick start process. The only major
difference is section 1.1 of the docs, that explain howto get the rhn
repo setup should be replaced by just downloading the above mentioned
.repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d/

It takes about 15 minutes to walk through and the end result is a
functional open stack install.

If anyone wants to offer up some basic template images to use, please do
so.

I have not tested to see how these rpms are going to work with/conflict
with the EPEL hosted openstack.  Some feedback on that would be
appreciated as well.
