Announcing OpenStack in Funtoo Linux... coming soon :)

[Daniel Robbins]

Hi All,

I wanted to let everyone know that we are in the process of
integrating OpenStack "Essex" into Funtoo Linux.

OpenStack is an Open Source cloud computing platform written in
Python. It supports virtualization, containers, and cloud storage.

I have started to add documentation to the Funtoo Wiki about
OpenStack. Probably the best place is to start with knowing more about
Progress Overlay, which is a new Python infrastructure that has been
integrated into Funtoo Linux, with over 400 new ebuilds:

read more here: http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Python

Our OpenStack integration is fully leveraging the new functionality
from the Progress overlay.

For docs on OpenStack, see:

http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Keystone
http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/OpenStack_Architecture

We also have openvswitch integrated into Funtoo Linux.

Currently, I have the latest keystone emerging just fine, and work
will be starting soon on Glance and Nova. If you'd like to help, play
around with Keystone and help us add ebuilds. Hang out in #funtoo and
we will get you involved.

Best Regards,

Daniel Robbins
