I was thinking of an easy-to-follow thing a person could download to quickly deploy fedora, in amazon or rackspace or google compute engine, with a particular service or development environment setup and ready to run. 1. so you checkout our git tree 2. you install/download ansible 3. you run: ansible-playbook formula-1/go.yml 4. you enjoy your resuling instance all ready and configured as we described maybe step 2.5 is you change some config values in the git tree or tell it where to find your keys for aws or rackspace. but in short - we run these things to let people use fedora for something, probably in the cloud, probably right away. Rather than worry about guis and all the overhead and assumptions we have to make with that - would you be interested in seeing if we can get some basic traction just w/the above? -sv
