  = STATUS =
  http://cloud.ubuntu.com/2011/10/ubuntu-cloud-live-11-10-is-available/
  
  = GOALS/IDEAS =
   * Use remaining space on the stick for glance storage
   * Juju on a stick (some simple charms to run on the cloud-live... ) Not sure its possible with ttylinux
   * Need a cloud-image (in addtion to ttylinux [http://launchpad.net/cirros])
     - smoser asks to please replace with cirros
   * Differentiate/discuss devstack
   * Installer (similar in purpose to devstack)?
      Pretty much thumbs downed by all.
   * Live session on a Server install CD
   * which services can we reasonably provide: compute, image service, object service, identity, horizons, etc...
   * default to LXC (and run a full ubuntu)
    * Exercises LXC
    *
   * Two avail zones: kvm, lxc (wishlist)
  
  cloud-live exposes people to Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure. (Pull it out
  and use it periodically/experiment.) What does a cloud infrastructure
  "feel like".
  
  Instead of GettingStarted, have "Go" and a "gettingstarted"
  
  Target a 4G RAM as a testing case (min) and preferably more. 16 GB disk...
  Use existing disk space? (loopback, external disk, etc. Cleanup afterwards.) From a kvm/virtual machine launch, it is typical
  
  A sibling project of juju-live. Juju is very network intensive. bzr repo
  and lots of apt-get.
  
  orchestra-live-provisioning (with real world installs as remnants.)
  Probably drop rsyslog, etc. With sufficient squid cache to make the
  install more or less run without outside network.
  
  cobbler dev system (smoser can explain).
